Question

A man formerly named Arlus was revealed to be a member of this class due to his usage of the phrase “bloodydamn” instead of “gorydamn.” A banned song that describes how members of this class “roared and roared/and twisted and screamed” was sung by a woman later hanged and given the nickname Persephone. Members of this class quickly bury their dead so they can travel to the Vale after they are judged by the Reaper, a figure that one leader emulated using his slingBlade. Routinely, this class’s Gamma clan unfairly wins a Laurel for mining more (*) helium-3 than other groups of Helldivers. (10[1])The Sons of Ares’ goal is to foment a revolt amongst this class, which lie at the bottom of a caste system (10[1])dominated by Golds from Luna. For 10 points, Darrow of Lykos was born a member of what servile class, whose “low” variety work underneath the Martian soil? ■END■ (0[4])
