I *like* all these ideas! The Rebellion, being the good guys, would never do anything morally questionable by C21 standards, would they? :) Or even by their own standards!

I'm sure of it. He's weird. He's not one of us.

P90
Movement week, sea season, 1613.
"...further, these personages are placed under edict and cursed by the Goddess: Minaryth Purple, Sage; Urrrggh the Ugly, troll; Hofstaring Treeleaper, Rune Lord. May their souls wither and their brains rot..." "So it is stated, and so decreed, by Valishor Longear, High Priestess of Yara Aranis and Chief of the Occupying Forces. My word is that of the Goddess. Heed it well."

That's before Fazzur gets there, but it's a strong hint that someone didn't like Minaryth. A response to "Hofstaring's" Flood, from the look of the dates.
