So, since Jason subbed in Will's hand for the Saint piece the Church wanted him to use, he's going to get a similar class.

Will had developed a method for carrying the urns one-handed: The rim of the urn was fairly strong, able to support the entire thing, so Will just flicked the top off and grabbed it by the rim, balancing part of its weight on his left arm, dumping it into the pit before receiving the next from Lo...

Once, after a mighty battle, Ouroboros was caged by Granesh and the deity demanded that the World Snake give over the secret of his immortality.
Oroborous slipped out of the cage, leaving behind a molt so realistic that Granesh continued to ply it with demands for many moons.

You know, I heard Granesh was so afraid of William Oh’s arrival on this Floor that he allied with a secret clan of fishpeople to create the Scramble, hoping to delay his progress up The Tower to tear the crown from his head. Just you wait, another Scramble is going to happen again soon.
