Oh yes, I'll explain about these pages ehehe

BIG LORE ABOUT LOVERS

Shamura never had a love interest in mortals, although it might seem otherwise. They used them for their own needs and simply got rid of them, as shown in the frame with Narinder. Many followers loved their bishop and even knew what fate awaited them anyway, they themselves went into their nets. And Shamura doesn’t hide this part from their followers either. That's why they can find all this in their temple and decide for themselves whether they are ready for this or not.

One way or another, speaking about these lovers, few are worthy of becoming them, Shamura is selective in this regard. You can't even think about marrying a bishop, because in their reality it's impossible. In ancient times, Shamura used marriages only for gain, all this is fiction without any love, and then, marriages were supposed only with deities, like themselves. But, during all this time, Shamura never got married. They hated other deities and achieved everything on their own. Although they might consider some equal or worthy, their worldview prevailed. So it turns out that they hate deities and cannot stand mortals, at least marriages give mortals advantages, and this is not beneficial for the Bishop of War. Marriages would give their followers influence over them, somehow control them, which they don't like at all.

All these short romances with mortals are mostly about fulfilling some of Shamura's desires. I mentioned selectivity, and it is that virtually all of Shamura's lovers are those who have proven themselves in a duel with them, which didn't always mean victory for the follower, but for potential warriors they were valued. Therefore, not everything ended so sadly, but it did not flow into any sublime and deep feelings, the bishop simply used them until the death of the follower. Someone would get on their nerves ahead of time and they would get rid of the particularly annoying ones by walling them up in a cocoon. Which, by the way, is not simple in its essence. Now I'm going to tell you a crazy thought. But all these cocoons on the ceiling are literally like wine infusing. I will not describe all the details of the process, but from the followers only the skeleton remains in them, and Shamura uses everything else for their own purposes, as a delicacy. Respect to these chosen followers, their skeletons are eventually stored in the catacombs beneath the temple, where Shamura has quite a few different crypts and secret libraries. The difference here is that the follower is sacrificed to the bishop and the bishop's own hand puts you to death. And for the second part, it’s not like an enemy. Lmao, killed, but with respect.

I forgot to mention, but not to mention the final outcome, Shamura treats their lovers a little better than ordinary followers, but does not tolerate their desire to get something in return from the bishop. Yes, they can reward you with knowledge, but they will not give you power or part of their powers (As with their disciples, using ichor, turning into large monsters) just like that. This still needs to be achieved, and simple expressions of devotion or sympathy will not be enough.

And also, Shamura's disciples ≠ lovers. For them, having romances at work is unacceptable. And they would rather refuse and get rid of such disciples if they found out about their love for them. It's just not profitable to train such people.

I even finally like how he turned out. He looks like the comic book version of himself :D
