I keep finding reasons to like Anastasius, what with how well he understands Rozemyne's wants and needs. Traurqual seems to have a proper level of respect for the true Zent, which makes me wonder why there is such a large divide between him and the temple. Also I really want him to talk to Rozemyne and see the extent of her book gremlin ways. It was interesting to see that Dietlinde's retainers were actually trying to restrain her from sending the ordonanz, I didn't think they had it in them. And then for the epilogue, dear lord I didn't think Magdalena was that out of touch with Ferdinand's situation. Also seeing Hildebrand's perspective makes me laugh at just how screwed he is if he keeps with his current trajectory. And seeing as nobody seems to be trying to guide him away from it, I can't imagine he'll change his goals.

I get the impression that at least a part of the biblical fundamentalists do not really care what the bible says. They care about using what it says to give themselves more power. Pointing out Trauerqual's faults and claiming that they can appoint a new zent gives them more power. They want to be seen and heard, Trauerqual not having the Grutrissheit is just a means to that goal.
