Rotterex freezes for a moment, as if he is engaging in internal
conversation after Azhur's question. 

"Yao Fune's cult is everywhere", he says in a voice all-too scholarly to
be just the rubble runner Azhur has come to know. "He is an ancient
mystic. He claimed that Kralorela should renounce war to become closer
to the Cosmic Dragon. There was much debate when he said this. The
Emporer Godunya called for a circle of learning to test the theory, much
to the frustration of the Archexarch of War. A partial test was decided;
a statue of Sheng Seleris, an ancient enemy, was blessed and thrown
beneath the waters to indicate that no longer would he be propitiated.
The Archexarch of War afterwards ordered several regiments to commit
utuma 
for insufficient discipline."

The rubble runner shook his head. "I will pass your message to Kalen",
and then scampered away.
