Arc

Biological with Prepotente, somehow (ch. 3); he eats mystery meat for a rumour and vomits (ch. 14); 'I’ll make them understand' (ch. 15). He worships Donar, a god of thunder and lightning, unsponsored, and asks the question nobody can answer: do the war mages say god-worshippers cannot go to the Cabaret, or that they do not want them to? His wife Heidi is pregnant in the kinder facility and silent (ch. 58). He loses an axe into a slag elemental (ch. 65), stays on the floor until Lucia is safe (ch. 84), and comes out of Emberus's death 'Just a little fried' (ch. 98).
