Rare has acquired "Loyal Stewards", perhaps?
Seems like they could almost become overseers of conquered lands, ruling in Rare's stead while she's off doing ....whatever it is a pseudo-god needs doing, I guess. I imagine they're strong enough now to retain control over an entire region's worth of underlings which would allow something like that.
Quite the turn of events, though. The power scaling continues to be wacky (complimentary), and the ceiling for this gameworld remains elusive.
Thanks for the TL
