Pere Ravage might be a handy model in this Ulix. Drop a Flaming bottle on a couple swine cursed and send a piglet through them to become a war pig on turn 1 while getting some glowy to use afterward. Just a thought.

I agree swapping factions on a master doesn't seem likely, it is just something they could do (this is a speculative thread). Cavatica being tri-keyword is pretty much guaranteed based on previews up to this point. Wyrd is telling a story as well as making a game so you never can tell what they will do next, cheating is sort of their thing.

My guess is that Lucius gets kicked out of Neverborn and becomes Explorer's society. Lucius is getting relegated to dishonorable duties by the current governor-general and most of his authority has been taken away outside his very small cadre of followers. Meanwhile, Nexus joins Neverborn and makes peace with Titania (interesting story opportunity). The emergence of the burning man could unite them to fight him I suppose. Lucius didn't stop Kitchener so Titania may consider him an enemy.
