Loki Eliot decided to hold his annual Pancake Race underground. In the sewers. I have no idea why. It was something of a ramshackle affair – the course was created by placing boards across the water, propped by the small walkways on either side.

While it’s true they were not linked by blood and it was only by the most bizarre twist of happenstance that Arconus Arkright IV was essentially…
