So\nthey are gathering up one set of \"false gods\" in order to sacrifice them to\nanother \"false god.\" I chuckled over that one and missed another bit that\npuzzles me. I haven't seen this directly addressed elsewhere?\n\nI understand Urus has conspired in the assassination attempt, but does Maytera\nMint consider him human pornography -- no redeeming social value?
