It's going to be interesting to see how they interact at some point. Their conversation at the end of the last chapter seemed amicable but neither of them are the most trustworthy members of the cast.

> > Badripoor is apparently now home to a number of Shee-Yar refugees who fled there during the last battle of the Parody War, these are now the last Shee-Yar anywhere due to the Carnifex killing the rest.
> Also true. Badripoor spent a couple of days on the Shee-Yar homeworld, and many of the refugees that claimed asylum and returned to Earth with the city are doubtless former members of the Shee-Yar Imperium.

As I recall there was an arguement during the battle about whether or not Badripoor being on top of the royal palace meant that spiffy was the new emperor of Shee-Yar by right of conquest.

> > Whether the Carnifex's promise that "I will be seeing every one of your Imperium dead" includes the refugees who left the imperium before he promised to kill them or if he just hasn't noticed them yet has not been made clear.
> Since it had been arranged for them not to be counted as Imperium citizens any more the Carnifex's hunting sense didn't lead him to them as it led him to all the other Shee-Yar away from their home territory. When he becomes aware of them he'll want them dead too - whether spiffy's standing in the way or not.

Won't that rather ruin his hero act, as Tom noted killing spiffy would attract "unwanted attention".

> > The Carnifex did break his promise though when he failed to kill Orankle the prophetess due to her stabbing herself first just after predicting his downfall, so he might be willing extend his killing to all Shee-Yar everywhere not just the ones in the Empire as an attempt at compensating for that.
> Also true. Watch out for it.

For what?

Another point: can those glowing sphere things see elementals?
