“Tainted means that you have the blood of a god running in your veins. Most of the gods are dead now, but their ancestors live on, and this ridiculous new world has the impudence to call an ancestor of the gods Tainted! As if it were something to be ashamed of. The arrogance! Ilska tells me that if you have a god’s blood flowing in your veins then you are considered less; that you are hunted and enslaved, used like animals. This is MADNESS!”
