It would have been fun if my life had continued and the morphing of the tattoo took place as I could have seen that taking Aroyv into a loftier role in the realm. There was one character that mentioned plants of venom as well but never was able to obtain that knowledge. The trek of obtaining the Unholy Axe took a lot of life out of Aroyv too.

I do wish we had more times that crossed to see how revelations would expand or restrict venoms. As far as the "dry" aspect it was a bit by design as I figured if the focus is on study then consuming time to explain things, like to the Empire to take the oath or not, is wasted and study suffers.

There is one thing that I never figured out and that was if any additional insight an Ish follower gains from earning that tattoo. Was hoping to find another in the realm with the mark of their palm to see and never knew how to address with you as I know it's not kosher to ask an IMM that question. Just wanted to know if I'd known if it had given Aroyv greater insight.
