* ThePlague: 'Ash' is a super-evolved fungus that infests all of Erj. Those whose immune systems are weakened (or Sylphs) grow glowing barnacle-like mushrooms that burst open, killing the infected and spreading even more Ash. They have evolved to flourish in the day, while most of the world has evolved a resistance to the spores, and the Sylphs have developed anti-spore botanicas and technology.

Their ancestors crash-landed on this planet, having pissed off the goddess of ''space'' for some unknown reason, and they have been praying and repenting to the goddess to take them off this rock before they all die of air poisoning.

However, in the same vein, some of these thralls will engage in holy wars against heretics - especially the Sylphs, who venerate Ybris as the goddess of ''space'' and are ''very'' materialistic - and steal their technology. Commentary notes that hypocrisy 'to gain an advantage' is normal in most religions, and that this is especially true for the less faithful of the outcasts.
