So let me get this straight. While the towns are ravaged by powerful witches, the guardians use sub-par weapons because the good stuff is reserved for the Empress army that does... what exactly on a normal day?
Not to mention, have ANY of the women made any indication that they were aware the Empress considers having the mark as essentially treason? Slaying your subjects for a rule they knew nothing about is a pretty good way to have yourself an uprising...
I'm actually starting to wonder if the source of the moon break curse isn't actually the Goddess at all, but the Empress. Why else would she get so pissed that her citizens found a way to keep from dying?
