A power and secretive religious group hunting witches while also training "pure" witches. A Witch Collation controlled by three "Goddess" Witches who hunted witches while training elite combat witches. Just from the glimpses of the church and snips of history we are shown; I'd say it isn't much of a logical leap.

The young learn from the old. Ever country, ever major ideology has a dark history somewhere. We should not forget Japan's occupation, Soviet Gulags, the US's Trail of Tears/sundown towns, nor the CCP's ongoing genocides. What we need to do is forgive the sins but not forget their scars/impact.

Why ask about necessity? He needed test targets for his eldritch spell. They volunteered.

Yes, it very much is Lovecraft.

There is a theme of past sins not defining the present and future. If you murdered someone but later saved a hundreds are your mistakes more important? One cultures sin is another cultures norm. When judged what matter? A mad queen or a just usurper of a restrictive and corrupt society? I see Thud as no less "evil" then the nobles that step on their own.

what are morals but contrived rule from those able to enforce them. At any point the illusion can drop or change. Modern humans have lost ourselves.

pronounced coom my dirty mind friends. an oddly phrase used with degrees "major cum minor". or something like that.

Africa was r*ped by colonization. Like the above mentioned we "most none African countries" teach a generalization of Africa. Which is like saying all of North America (Canada, US, and Mexico combined) is racist. after all Africa has a landmass and history far larger and grander than North America and Europe combined. yet is generalized a one poverty stricken slum. The oldest human remains were in Africa. The first small pox vaccine was developed by an African society-then stolen by an American slaveowner. Point is we are taught to generalize and look down on a Continent not a group Countries.

The truth of a long life is plant based.

Depends on your cultural background and norms. For these characters this attempt to throw money around is an insult that must become an example.

Did you really just say that European's illegal drug trade into China will get them to fight themselves?...(flipping textbook) that isn't how that ended. Also the British empire literally killed to not go without Tea...

They aren't when the game first started there were several rapes and murders but the MC and gang do not affiliate with such characters...yet.

In moderation. Communism and Capitalism are terrible at their extremes. One will get a dictator the other a dictator under different names. Blended and balanced is the ideal government state where money drive advancement and communities support everyone.

him being good is the give away. it is what made them suspect that he has one.

when talking averages the stray numbers are ignored. it is one of the biggest annoyances that when people hear that X has a higher (insert stereotype) they ignore the y^z factors. But I digress. You are right that there are women equal in size but if you take averages you will find the most women have smaller feet, not all.

like a rat- every 5 Seconds of inactivity

In astronomical terms any smaller object in rotation around a larger object is a satellite. You may look at the moon as satellite to earth and earth as satellite to sun. But the terms differ. Not that I would really know.

That was intentional to lure out the big fish. There is no physical proof, only witness accounts. And most of the loyal watchers won't leak the story.
