What you know
Book 4: The Gate of the Feral Gods
- Ch 9The Gate of the Feral Gods is an artifact said to be buried in the Necropolis of Anser.
- Ch 15The Gate artifact has three parts, held by Henrik, Commandant Kane and the Mad Dune Mage: two pocket watches and a winding box.
- Ch 15Opening the gate lets one travel elsewhere, but when it closes an ancient feral god comes through on the opening side.
- Ch 23A portal from the gate lingers as a two-way opening to the Nothing until a creature, often a feral god, comes through.
- Ch 26A Syndicate court appeal briefly locked three of Carl's items, then ruled all plaintiffs lacked standing and lifted the lock.
- Ch 27Placing a watch in the winding box shows its location as a time; Katia learned to use the artifact as a rough position finder.
- Ch 27Carl assembles the Gate of the Feral Gods on the ocean floor, completing the quest and opening a twenty-foot portal.
- Ch 32Each trapped group dials Katia's coordinates on the gate outside their bubble's Desperado Club and escapes to Hump Town, leaving a feral god behind.
- Ch 33Two rescue phases with the gate saved about 1,500 crawlers, unleashing feral gods including a giant turkey and an insect swarm.
- Ch 34Carl's plan: open the gate to the ninth floor, keep one watch, and send the rest through so a feral god appears on both sides.
- Ch 34The real gate, kept rather than spent, opens in the water quadrant, flooding Larracos's faction market with water, bombs and sharks.
Book 5: The Butcher’s Masquerade
- Ch 1The Gate of the Feral Gods can kill everyone on a floor; its creation crashed the system by circumventing the AI's own rules.
- Ch 3Carl temporarily gives up the Gate of the Feral Gods; he is told he can have it back on the ninth floor.
Book 7: This Inevitable Ruin
- Ch 88Eris says the War Mages traded the Gate of the Feral Gods to Paca at the Midnight Market; Paca holds it in her stomach.
