    Didn’t seem like that a mere year before, when Rozemyne met Gramps. If anything, I would have expected the resurgance of religious ceremonies and the increase in genuine prayers that happened in the wake of Rozemyne’s research projects and demonstrations, to give them back hope, if they had lost it before.

    That being said, I’m not yet ready to condemn Gervasio. While unlikely, it is theoretically possible that he is unaware of his people running wild in Ahrensbach and that was all done by some upstart without his knowledge and permission. We did see him show mercy for Solange after all, when Raublut seemed ready to finish her off instead. If that were the case, it would make sense for him to pass Gramps’ test. That magic tools only looks into the person’s personality, not what their subordinates are doing. It’s a shame we didn’t get more insight into his motives and principles, even in his own POV chapter.
