He wields his blackstell chainscythe.

## Personality

Hagane is a silent person who is easily annoyed. He is a lone wolf but he is somewhat social to his peers, helping them as a soldier rather than a friend. During *Sorcerer's Misery*, he's much more enraged due to the killings of his clan and made him talk much more than usual. He's merciless and vengeful upon this ordeal wanting to kill the antagonist on his own.

## Abilities

#### **Using ninjutsu**

Hagane as a ninja is capable of using a unique form of magic specialized for ninja--ninjutsu. Hagane is capable of using it, with one failed instance of it in his debut in Chapter V.

## Story

It's not indicated at what specific time the clan was killed, but the Sokuryoku clan fell in the hands of Thanatos gan Ceann when Hagane wasn't around, making him the sole survivor.

Hagane started his debut in Chapter V, kidnapping Myrna and fighting Melvin and Francis in a fit of blinding rage. After talking it out with Melvin, Hagane joined them but only to sate his own revenge. He encounters several enemies, one of whom the very person who killed his clan. After finding and slaying the antagonist, Hagane goes back to Kurokau to lament and to restore himself.

## Relationships

#### Melvin Machaera

Melvin and Hagane are friends but its explanation is unknown.

#### Kokuyougan no Kageken

Kageken is the dark prince of Kurokau, the place of ninja, which makes Hagane under the rule of Kageken.

## Trivia

* Hagane's clan, Sokuryoku, focuses on speed-based and wind-based ninjutsu as hinted by the name "sokuryoku" meaning "speed".
* Hagane's name, along with several names like that of Kageken, are formatted in Japanese clan naming where the word "no" indicates "of". Literally, Hagane's name means "Hagane of the Sokuryoku clan".
* Hagane is based on ninjas out for vengeance due to their clan's genocide like Edge Geraldine from Final Fantasy IV and Sasuke Uchiha from the Naruto series.

## Powers

### Physiology

### Abilities

#### Metal Creation

Luk is able to create and freely manipulate metals. This ability consumes LE, but at a rate dependent on Luk's willpower.

### Apocalyptic Abilities

#### INFINITY

Luk is a host to the INFINITY. However, a sixth of the INFINITY is missing.

### Other

#### Reality Manipulation

As a deity from a PoE somewhere directly between the Exiled and the Transcendental Planes, Luk is able to manipulate reality. Each use can vary in degree from slight deviations in the perceptions of others to distortions in time-space. Even though its manifestations seem to align with Luk's mental and emotional states, it is unknown if he is fully in control or not.

## Equipment

### Beginner Fire Aspect Book

A blue hardcover book with a red fire affinity emblem stitched into the cover. Contains holistic and fire affinity spells.

Immediately confiscated by Lily. However, Luk has used it with Lily's permission on select occasions, and Luk uses fire magic that he supposedly learned from the book.

### Golden Shield

An unusual weapon obtained by Horizon through unknown means. An orb of liquid golden metal that can be manipulated through LE signals.

### Feather Earpiece

One of the earpieces designed by Fin for the Second Generation. A silver earpiece with a metallic feather ornament attached to it, designed to support telepathic interplanar communications. While unnecessary, Luk received one anyway as a gift.

Despite not being designed for it, Luk sometimes uses it as a quill pen.
Starfishman Weaknesses

Starfishman can regenerate and has a tough, armored exoskeleton, but he is not invincible! Here is a list of Starfishman's weaknesses:

## Dissection

Although Starfishman has an incredible ability to regenerate, he has never had the limit of this ability tested dramatically, so Starfishman is unsure if he is invulnerable. He has a fear of being chopped up into small pieces, as he thinks he would be unable to reconstitute himself, and lose his identity as an individual. It is possible that Starfishman could be killed if he were to be ground up into small pieces, or if his head was separated from his body. This is one of Starfishman's greatest fears.

## Fear of Crustaceans

He is deathly afraid of crustaceans. He has covered for this fear by telling people he is allergic to shellfish, but the truth is Kino Marin had a traumatic accident as a child involving a crab. While visiting the beach with his mother, Kino reached out to touch a starfish and didn't see a large crab behind the rock. It reached out and pincered his finger, severing it at the middle joint. The finger was not recoverable and he lived with the disfigurement for years. He downplays the seriousness of the injury as it healed relatively quickly.

## Dehydration

Starfishman's strength is the use of water, but it's also his weakness. If Starfishman is dehydrated or cut off from a water source for a long period of time, he is unable to use many of his powers. As a result, Starfishman prefers to stay underwater or close to natural water sources.
Starfishman Villain: Lobstor

#### Character Overview

Lobstor is Starfishman’s first main nemesis. He is a supervillain who blames Starfishman for mutating him from a brilliant and successful scientist into a grisly combination of man and lobster.

#### Character History

Dr. Arthur Pierce was conducting experiments on the unstable meta waves when the generator over loaded and exploded, which caused a tank of genetically-altering bacteria to become unstable. This catastrophic accident bathed the Pacific Marine Institute in mutagenic tidal wave, and caused almost everyone within 3 kilometers of the facility to become drastically genetically altered. Pierce became mixed with lobster DNA, and became a huge half man, half lobster abomination.

#### Physical Appearance

Lobstor resembles a huge armored centaur, except he is half man and half lobster, instead of half horse. He has one giant claw which replaced an arm, and his legs are smaller but there are 4 pairs of them, many of them ending in deadly claws.

#### Powers and Abilities

Lobstor is completely bullet proof and resistant to most physical attacks due to his thick armor that covers his body. He is incredibly strong, and has a crushing claw which can easily compress most types of steel. He has regained his human intellect, making him a dangerous foe to compete with. Additionally, he has pheromonal control over other crustacean species around him, so he can send these armies of crabs and lobsters against his opponents.

#### Weaknesses

Dr. Arthur Pierce was arrogant and over confident, and Lobstor is no different. He has an overly exaggerated opinion of his superiority, so often underestimates others. He is also extremely vain, so he is embarrassed of his mutation and often is dishonest about his affliction. For example, he insists he has psychic control over other crustaceans, when it fact it is a pheromonal effect. He gives off a strong odor which commands other crabs and lobsters to attack others or help him in some way.

Command Cards

**Command Cards** determine the attacks your Servants perform during battle. There are three different card types: Quick, Arts, and Buster. Every player turn, you receive 5 random cards from your frontline's Command Card deck to choose for that turn. Noble Phantasms are extra cards that do not come from the deck and are available for use in addition to the 5 random cards as long as the Servant has a NP Gauge of 100% or higher.

Each servant possesses 5 Command Cards, and you will be sequentially distributed 5 cards from each servants respective deck for three turns so long as you have servants in the frontline; in other words, if you have 3 Servants in the frontline, you will see **all** 15 individual Command Cards over the course of 3 turns (meaning from Turns 1-3 you will have seen all Command Cards), after which the deck "resets" and is then redistributed to begin another cycle. In a sense this allows the player to keep track of the cards previously dealt in order to predict which cards will be drawn in the following turns before the deck resets.

Whenever a Servant you control is defeated, the Command Card deck is shuffled. The deck can also be manually shuffled by using Command Shuffle.

## Chains

Quick, Arts, and Buster Chains occur when 3 of the same card type are selected. A Brave Chain occurs when all 3 cards chosen belong to the same Servant.

* **Quick Chain** - Gains 10 critical stars.
* **Arts Chain** - Each Servant participating in the chain charges 20% NP gauge.
* **Buster Chain** - Each card has 20% of a servants attack added as damage. Does not affect the extra attack from a chain nor Noble Phantasms.
* **Brave Chain** - Perform an additional attack for 200% increase in damage, or 350% if the Brave Chain is also a Quick, Arts, or Buster Chain.

## First Card Bonus

The first Command Card chosen gives all other normal attacks a bonus. Noble Phantasms do not get this bonus.

* Dosya:Quick.png **Quick** - 20% increase in critical star generation rate.
* Dosya:Arts.png **Arts** - 100% increase in NP generation rate.
* Dosya:Buster.png **Buster** - 50% increase in damage.

## Card Order Stats

These values only apply to normal Command Cards. Noble Phantasms deal the same base damage regardless of when in a chain it is performed.

## Servant Command Cards

* Saber
* Archer
* Lancer
* Rider
* Caster
* Assassin
* Berserker
* Extra
Starfishman Family

Starfishman’s family is introduced in his origin story, “Starfishman: Origins”. As a young man, Kino’s mother takes him to the beach. His father is referred to but never shown. Later in his life as a mutated superhero, Starfishman has a son: Starfishboy.

#### Kino’s Mother

Kino’s mother supports his interest in marine life, and is shown taking him to the beach and teaching him about the various forms of marine life. When Kino is injured by a crab and loses his finger, she never forgives herself. The incident creates a rift between her and Kino’s father, and it is suggested that their divorce was at least partly to blame on this traumatic incident at the beach.

#### Kino’s Father

Although never shown directly in the Starfishman: Origins story, Kino’s mother is having an argument with him on the phone as he makes excuses for not being able to join them at the beach. It is suggested that he is working and too busy. Kino’s father is also a scientist, and prioritized his work over his family. Later Starfishman stories will focus on Starfishman trying to find his mysterious father and to reconnect with him.

#### Starfishman’s Son: Starfishboy

Starfishman has a son! Starfishboy’s adventures are more aimed towards children and learning about the environment. A series of children’s books will feature Starfishboy as he visits the beach and discovers amazing facts about the world.
Life Energy

Life Energy (shorthand: LE) is an extremely potent resource directly involved in

## Properties

Life Energy is native to the LE Plane and can be found in certain types of Anomalous Terrain. While not bound to an organism, Life Energy is a violent, chartreuse green substance that cannot be contained or . Unbound Life Energy always appropriates bound forms of Life Energy.

Life Energy enters a calmer, "passive" state once bound to an organism. Passive Life Energy is integral to facilitating life. Although intangible, passive Life Energy is essential for mitigating active Life Energy.

Some organisms are capable of converting Life Energy into a more readily manipulable "active" state. Active Life Energy manifests as tangible matter, energy, and/or phenomena.

## History

Historical records of Life Energy date back to the earliest manuscripts of an ancient religion.

## Application

While the arsenal of a Life Energy user is less diverse than that of a Magic user, Life Energy users tend to be more inclined towards combat and offense than Magic users.

#### Control

Control is a universal ability shared by all Life Energy users to some degree. It refers to the general capacity to convert Life Energy into forms of matter and energy.

### Augmentations

Unlike Abilities, Augmentations are spontaneous and can only benefit the physical form. Augmentations consume Life Energy at a net zero rate, or at the same rate as . Augmentations can enhance a user's speed, strength, senses, cognition, physical health, and durability in order of decreasing occurrence.

The Battle of Varakait (1393)

The Battle of Varakit (Murai: *Var'akit Zharan*) was fought between the forces of the First Empire of Ishan, led by Princes Khorakhol ve Arkhos and Khotan ve Khasa, and the Nirai Mirakhai Khaganate over the course of four days, during the Nirai conquests of Ishan. It took place in late Kairan'i (August) near the Var'akait ((Akait Gates) now known as just "Varakit"), a narrow passage between the Khatari and Akaiti mountains. This was the last major incursion of the Nirai into the Ishani heartlands, having already subjugated much of the Murai homeland around Lake Kairan in the last decade.

Despite unrest in the heartlands, the ailing Empire sent a force— *small in number*— as a response, being deployed under the command of Princes Khorakhol ve Arkhos and Khotan ve Khasa. These two-thousand men, comprising of men from Clans Khasa, Arkhos, Sherkoz, Hailun, and Hazhai, faced a foe of fifty-thousand swords in number under the command of a man known to history as "Tsarakh".

Ikhatan

Ikhatan, the Far-North of Ishan

Ikhatan is the furthest-north region of Ishan, comprising of the Provinces of Khairos and Ikhatos as well as the Autonomous region of Khaenun. It stretches from the River Tsakat to the border with Kharas and to the Khetak isles that lay halfway to Rusan. It is the least densely populated region of the Empire, with much of the land still being dense, uninhabited forests and plains, with a few cities dotting the landscape, primarily along the coast. Much of the population is concentrated in the cities that rest on the Gulf of Iket and the Chatik and Orkhot bays. Due to settlement from the 19th century onwards, the local Shinai population has largely been assimilated by the ever-encroaching Murai, though this has led to an interesting blend of their cultures.
Murai Swords

A Murai Sword *(𐱃𐰃𐱁𐰮𐰃𐰐𐰀𐰲𐰀; Arashin'sik)* is one of several types of traditionally-made swords from Ishan. Swords have existed among the Murai since before the crossing of the Feltasi mountains, though before the Pentarchy-era, they were almost entirely used by the nobility. While there are several types of Murai swords, most people think of the straight-bladed Sikhos when the term comes up. Nonetheless, there are a variety of other swords that come from Ishan, a few of which will be mentioned below:

## Types of Murai Swords

### Sikhos

The Sikhos *(plural: Sikhoi)* is a straight, single-edged sword used throughout Murai history. The earliest of these swords have been found in and around the city of Khoros, where it is presumed that the weapon was initially developed.

### Vhitash

The Vitash (*Vitashoi)* is a precursor to the Sikhos used in Imperial-era Ishan. It fell out of military use by some time in the 11th century, though it saw some ceremonial usage until the 14th century, shortly before the fall of the First Empire of Ishan.

### Vahras

The Vahras is a curved double-edged sword used beginning in the early 15th century. It was designed, initially, to deal with the thick leather armors of the Mirakhai Khaganate, though it would continue to be used long after then. Despite being superior in many ways to the Sikhos, it never became as ingrained within the collective psyche of the Murai when it comes to defining a Zharai. Nonetheless, it saw continued use as a sort of cavalry saber among the upper classes of the Kataraki and Zharai.

### Eshrak

The Eshrak is a large sword, effectively a greatsword in all but name. In many respects, it is a large Vahras, though such a description isn't entirely accurate. It was designed, in part, as an anti-cavalry weapon, though spears were far better suited to the task. Therefore, it can be inferred that the weapon also served a highly ceremonial purpose, likely as an offering at a Shrine or in other ceremonies. The sword is too long to be carried on a warrior's waist, so it was more often carried either on the back (though this was far too impractical on the battlefield) or it was carried in it's sheathe while in the user's hand. In some cases, an attendant would carry the weapon for it's user instead.

### Narsik

The Narsik is a derivation on a Nirai weapon, serving as a sort of cavalry-saber among light cavalry. In many respects, it appears similar to a falchion, though it also bears some similarities to other types of weapons as well. It is often characterized by it's grip, which in many cases appears ever-so-slightly asymmetrical, as well as it's blade.
Yamaneko Maoyexing

Yamaneko as seen in Sorcerer's Misery

Yamaneko Maoyexing (/jæ'mənɛkɔ 'mɑojeʧɪŋ/)is a character battling against Melvin, Francis, and Myrna in Sorcerer's Misery. He's a nekomata acting as a keeper of one of the paths to the Sankoku region.

## Appearance

Yamaneko has yellow eyes that glow and purple hair with black streaks. His two tails have a purple striped pattern. His hands and feet are clawed. Several wounds can be found on Yamaneko's lower limbs, presumably from fights. He also has purple cat ears. He has an athletic build.

### *Sorcerer's Misery*

Yamaeko wears a torn dark blue capelet on him with no undershirt. He wears a purple jaguar-patterned pelt over his lower torso and his legs.

## Personality

Yamaneko despises humans, contrasting his master's helpful attitude towards them. He also acts brash and reckless causing him to get wounded sometimes in encounters and fights. He wants to scare humans away from the pass using his abilities. He doesn't like being bossed around, hence being reluctant whenever his master doesn't want to do something Yamaneko himself wants to do. He wants a good fight, however, and would battle people and youkai alike to do so.

## Abilities

#### **Manipulating blue fire**

Yamaneko is capable of manipulating fire on his own to the point that he can use hotter blue fire in his own accord. He can create miniature spheres of fire and literal fiery walls.

## Story

### *Sorcerer's Misery*

If the reader chooses to go to the mountains, they encounter Yamaneko who knows Melvin after his visit before the events in the book. The two-tailed cat asks for a spar that results in Melvin resorting to using Styrkur's strength. The fight nearly ends disastrously with Yamaneko attempting to use a huge sunlike fireball against the team until Tamamoku ends the fight.

## Relationships

#### Tamamoku Baihu

Yamaneko is Tamamoku's subordinate, being a guard to one of the passes to Sankoku.

## Trivia

* Yamaneko's jaguar pelt didn't come from a jaguar or youkai stemming from a jaguar; rather, it was dyed to make it look that way.
* Yamaneko's theme in Sorcerer's Misery, He Whose Eyes Shine on the Mountain, is a reference to the iriomote cat--an endangered species of cat in Japan--and two of its names in the local dialect there: "that which has flashing eyes" and "that which shines on the mountain".

**Welcome to the Arkhai Wiki!**

Welcome to the world of Arkhai! Arkhai is a world that is, in many ways, like our own. That being said, the landmasses, cultures, nations, and people are all different, but it is a world of "magic", if barely. While spirits exist, their presence is faint at best, and magic is dying out in the face of mechanization.

*From the depths of the ocean to the slopes of the Great Mountains, our world stretches out, above us the heavens soar. Once, we questioned whether we would ever see what lay out there, but now, we shall travel and leave our nest for the betterment of not only our people, but for all. But there are challenges we must face; We are still human, after all. Technology has done much to unite us, but it also reveals just how driven apart we are. War has long-dogged our footsteps, but, perhaps, we might see a new dawn.*

Starfishman History

Starfishman was first developed by creator Colby Fulton in 1992. He started as a strange and humorous superhero concept that would be a contrast to a serious hero like Batman. What would be a more bizarre combination than a human and a starfish mixed together? Colby was inspired by Batman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the liquid tentacle in the 1989 movie “The Abyss”. The aliens in that film could control and manipulate water, and he thought it would make a great ability for a superhero.

As the concept developed however, Colby realized how amazing the combination would be. Regeneration, water-powered tentacles, the ability to swim for unlimited periods underwater… Starfishman could be a legitimate hero who could protect the oceans using his combination of human genius and starfish abilities. Read more about Starfishman’s abilities here.

Colby drew out a simple storyboard for the origin of Starfishman, showing a then-unnamed scientist cutting off starfish limbs and injecting them with a special serum. It worked! The healing process was accelerated, and the starfish arm grew back. The scientist decided to inject himself with the serum, and Starfishman was born. The story was very simple, and over the years the character has developed into a fully realized superhero, with a complete backstory and exciting adventures.
Starfishman Villains

Global warming isn’t the only thing that keeps Starfishman up at night! These villains have different goals and means, but they are all dead-set on one thing: the destruction of Starfishman.

#### Lobstor

Lobstor is the mutated version of Dr. Arthur Pierce. Pierce is caught near a tank of lobster when the catastrophic event happens. Meta wave generator explodes near a huge tank of Kino’s mutagenic bacteria, which bathes the entire Pacific Marine Institute with a tidal wave of mutation. Pierce becomes a huge half-man, half-lobster mutant, the basic body layout of a centaur - his human torso is vertical while his lobster legs, abdomen and tail stretching backward, horizontally. One arm is a giant crushing lobster claw, making him a fierce and horrific foe.

#### Devil Crabs

Lobstor finds that he has a pheromonal connection with other crustaceans, and uses this power to control them to do his bidding. After trying to control the local shellfish, he finds they are too small and useless to be worthy henchmen. He experiments on a sample of crabs to make them larger and more powerful, which he names devil crabs. Starfishman already hates crustaceans, so this new breed of crab is a nightmare come true.
Dr. Kino Marin

Kino Marin is a brilliant scientist who studied marine biology and genetics practically his entire life. Searching for a solution to perfect human healing (without scar tissue) was his life's work. He developed genetically altered bacteria which helped modify starfish stem cells to aid in human healing, but his work was cut short by a horrific accident which may have killed hundreds of people, and left him a mutated horror. Eventually he was able to pull himself together using sheer will, and become the aquatic hero Starfishman.

(Pictured clockwise from the top) The Imir'i Four, Loyalist fortifications in the Khaita province, Royalist Kataraki crossing the Khulos river, Royalist infantry crossing the Kheilat river, Royalist sharpshooter in the Kamire mountains, abandoned Loyalist artillery atop Mount Sanemir

## Factions

### Aggressors

The Royalist Coalition, the Second Republic of Ekros (limited aid), the Empire of Nodriket (limited aid)

### Defenders

Nikasi loyalists, the Empire of Rumas (limited aid)

## Results

### Results for Aggressor

Deposition of the Marshal's regime, the Shena'Ikran is revoked, Arkan IV is instated as the sole ruler of Ishan (until the reforms of 2089, that is)

### Results for Defender

Total defeat of the Loyalists, amnesty granted to those who fought for the Marshal's regime by 2092

The Murai Civil War was a civil war in Ishan that lasted from 2083 to 2088, though it unofficially ended in 2092. It was fought between the Royalists, also known as the "Arkanists", and the Loyalists, or "Nikasis", costing around 246,870 lives in the process. The war began as a result of a lack of faith in the Nikasi regime and a wish for political reform, with the inciting event being seen as the assassination of Marshal Khorai Nikas on the 2nd of Khas'i, just a mere two days after the new year began.

Though it was already ongoing at the time, the civil war played a major role in the continued modernization of Ishan, changing it's course from strictly emulating the west towards fusing it with their own practices. Indeed, if not for the war, many believe that Murai culture as it was known at the time would've died out within a few more decades.

The war is mostly remembered for the heavy fighting in the Heartlands of Ishan, but fighting ranged from the swamps of the Okhen province to the Kamire mountains and from the Great Forests and plains of the Khaenun province to the beaches of the Khilmi islands. The fighting in the Khaenun province, for instance, was just as severe, if more mobile than in the south, lasting well into the early 2090's before amnesty was *actually* granted, this being the case simply due to the large amount of land that needed to be controlled.

## Cagaster of an Insect Cage

**Cagaster of an Insect Cage** (虫籠のカガステル, *Mushikago no Cagaster*) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Kachou Hashimoto.

## History

The series is based on Hashimoto's original web serialization and doujinshi by the same title.

It series was originally running on Hashimoto's website from 2005 to 2013. Takuma Shoten later published seven tankōbon volumes under its COMIC RYU magazine in 2016.

On March 12, 2020 ABLAZE Publishing announced the launch of their manga line, beginning with Cagaster, with Volume 1 coming out in June 2020. ABLAZE will be releasing one volume per month in this 6-volume series after that point.

## Synopsis

At the end of the twenty-first century, a rare disease named "Cagaster" began infecting the human race — transforming them into massive insects. Two-thirds of Earth's population had been devoured by these insects before humanity came to a decision: those that were infected must be exterminated.

In the year 2125 — thirty years after the discovery of Cagaster — a young exterminator named Kidou finds a man dying from insect-inflicted wounds at the edge of the desert near the insects' "cage". The dying man entrusts Kidou with his daughter, Ilie, and tells him to seek out the girl's mother. Source: MU

The Murai

Elderly Murai, c.2079

The Murai, or *Arashin'karik (Arashin Ethnicity)*, are an East-Kosenian ethnicity and nation native to the Ikhvan region. The term "Murai" is a foreign term, originally coming from the Rusani word "Kamurat", which is to say "Foreigner", eventually being adopted by the majority of the other peoples of the world.

## Language

The Murai language is an Arasitic language that is closely related to the Shinai and Nirai languages. It includes many loan-words from the Avosai languages, as well as, due to more recent influences, some loan-words from Ekroi and Nodriketi.

## Culture

### Religion

The Ishitic faith is the primary religion of the Murai, though it is not practiced exclusively. Rather, it is often syncretized with local faiths.

#### Ishitic

The Ishitic faith is the *primary* faith of the Murai, with it's practitioners being known as the "Ishii". In the Ishitic faith, followers believe in spirits known as "Kani" that are present in areas and objects of great ethereal importance. Practitioners seek, above all other things, to maintain balance between the Physical and Spiritual realms, honoring these spirits through prayer, meditation, and the building of shrines. There are four major deities in the faith, however, those being Ishen, Veren, Ikhai, and Vorosh, who are known as the "Vakani", or "Great Spirits". It is said that Ishen *in particular* is the most important of these spirits, keeping the world in balance and governing the cycle of reincarnation after death.

#### Nikaivashin

The Nikaivashin faith is a relatively modern interpretation on the ancient spiritual practices of the Avosai and other natives of Ishan, in which the dragons of old were worshiped as gods. The word "Nikaivashin" roughly translates as "Follower of the Eternal Dragon", stemming from the worship of the Dragon-spirit, Mata'Akran.

#### The Imperial Cult

A modern invention, the "Imperial Cult" is the common term for the frequent veneration of the Emperors of Ishan. In Murai homes and other buildings, it is not uncommon to see a portrait or photograph of the reigning Emperor or of Emperor Arkan I. This is a result of the perceived sanctity of the Emperors, who are seen as the descendants of Veren, and by extension, of Ishen.

The man wishes to take on another freak in a test of skill, believing that Kidow is freak for willingly hunting Cagasters.
