My question was mostly rhetorical, but it was answered later as any time Lith causes a massive phenomenon, it disrupts blood cores and forbidden objects as he is a far more complete version of what both were created to be. Even the Horsemen felt disruptions, as Dusk and his host thought they would die from the sheer pressure despite being hundreds of miles away during the last time Lith raged. The souls just needed opportunities, which were given by mass blood core disruption, allowing the souls/newly formed demons to siphon life-force and kill the undead.
Most of them had more than one angry soul following the undead around that happily pointed them at the Demons, betraying their existence no matter how good their façade was or how many cloaking devices they wore.

I would call it empirical more so than rational. In a fight, Lith would do whatever would give his the best chance to prevail, regardless of what others would consider fair. Rational thought tells you suicidal attacks are bad, while empirical thought only focuses on the result, not the method used.
Friya and Kamila looked at him for a second, wondering if the Abominations weren't wrong in considering Lith like one of their own.

It probably started for the same reason it did on Earth. King has kids with multiple women, wives kill each other for favor, children kill each other for the throne, and they usually wipe themselves out after a few generations unless one of their own commits a purge of some kind or an enemy threatens them more than their own blood rivals.
The King knew that if left brewing, Sylpha's rage could only get worse so he ignored her words and brought her to a private place where they could talk.

It probably made it worse as other Rangers can't warp around like Lith could. They would have to cover their tracks almost constantly. Otherwise, every slightly organized group of bandits, corrupt nobles, and magical beasts would have the opportunity to eliminate them in the middle of nowhere
"I'm sorry, master Ajatar, but I need a place where to crash for a few days." Morok tidied up the guest room he had slept in with the methodical discipline the army had engrained into him.

Rena and Orpal/Meln were twins, Tista and Trion were the second set of twins.

She would have preferred a human awakened, like Quylla, to be the godmother so the baby would stay partial to the human faction. Xenagosh is pretty much both an Organization rep and a member of the beast faction since Legaain is trying to help her regain her dragon side still.
The human representative didn't like the fact that Lith had chosen Xenagrosh as his daughter's godmother. Also, she was afraid that once the probation period of the Organization ended and they become the sixth Awakened race in the Council, it would give him even more power and influence.

Somehow, a Lutian Farmer knows far more about women than a Dragon God, a walking, talking apocalypse, and several nigh immortal beings older than the Kingdom the farmer lives in. If Raaz ever awakens, his title would be Chad.
It wasn't true, but he had learned

Before she had her skinwalker armor make a mask with similar features to Lith's organic face mask, which he grew when he broke thru to violet. Now, she also has an organic face mask.
"By the way, it's the first time I have a face mask." Tista pointed at the scales covering her usually-exposed fangs. "How do I retract them when I want to spew Origin Flames?"

It's basically the principle of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Lith's character growth makes him functional, not normal or mentally healthy.
'Everything Syrah sees and feels, the warg do as well. In turn, the warg and Hati in the backlines can share it with the other monsters and affect the morale of the entire army.'

It's a bit easier to trust someone you can smash into fleshy bits in a few seconds. The Undead Courts rely on stealth and subterfuge to maintain their strength, so I doubt there are more than a handful of members strong enough to survive this Hati Queen with her homefield advantage
"I am." The Hati Queen nodded. "Now let's get inside. I don't trust the scum from the Undead Courts further than I can throw them."

And the couple of times Lith possessed/was possessed(?) by a powerful demon to fight, like his fight with the rogue Eldritch, whose name I can't remember.
Unless one was used to sharing their mental space like a condo, of course.

It also gives the worst impression to unscrupulous and ambitious soldiers and mages that treason is acceptable and profitable so long as it doesn't affect the rest of the Kingdom. It's why treason usually ends in execution so people will believe the punishment isn't worth the attempt
"I also agree with the high treason sentence." Archmage Lema said. "Neforce is no different from the traitorous Ranger Quaron, he just lacks powerful allies. We've already seen what happens when a corrupt member of the military exploits a situation of emergency to become a tyrant.

"If you are not cheating, are you even trying?"- Sun Tzu, probably
While Balkor was forced to study Creation Magic from the theoretical standpoint and practice it only when he believed to have made a breakthrough to not waste the priceless materials Salaark awarded him for his services, Lith cheated as usual.

You can not be a knight or SpellBreaker without swearing to be loyal to the Kingdom, so when he was awarded the title and accepted it, it counts as an oath. Although he had modified terms, like more access to Kingdom level secrets and less mission load, Lith was still sworn to serve the kingdom when he was needed and expected to not abandon the kingdom regardless of circumstances.
The scene drew a lot of envy, but even more shocked disbelief. Everyone in there considered Lith a bloodthirsty inhuman monster. An oath breaker who had exploited the Kingdom's crisis to have his crimes pardoned.

He was given the title of SpellBreaker, which is basically mage equivalent of special forces, fresh out of White Griffin because of both the Nalear incident and taking care of the Goblin horde (where he got that memory crystal from) during Ranger school. That's why he got the name Verhen and a minor noble status so young.

For me and my cousins, it was Pop-its. Cheap, 20 or so in a box that fits in your pockets, and strong enough to hurt but not to bruise.
"You mean responsible spells." Rena said with a snort. "The last thing I need is having them throwing fireballs at each other while they play."

Sort of. The Samsara Array is way older than the Kingdom and Eliza both, so maybe it has limited information on her from others who would've obviously feared her might too. She could've also participated in the array at one point before the Anfang Alliance betrayed the halfbloods.
"This is an opportunity for me to see where my efforts are lacking. An opportunity to see if the Trump cards I have gathered are enough or not. I should make use of this Life and Death Altar to its fullest to sandbox all my plans against her."

Not personally. They "officially" abdicated from the throne, then were executed, I think. The Royals mentioned several times that the Kings and Queens of the Kingdom either abdicated and joined Tyris' feathers or were "retired" permanently at Tyris' whims. I figured it was execution since they messed up pretty badly as a few old noble houses were wiped out by the rebellion or the annual invasion afterward.
He had also kept famines from harvesting thousands of lives by enforcing food rationing and sharing and by developing spells that allowed to grow crops faster without causing irreversible soil exhaustion.
