The Gate to Women's Country: Chapters 31 -33

Stavia had been hit with a shovel in the last reading, and apparently she is in a very poor condition. She seems to be hallucinating or dreaming about her situation, however with reindeer instead of people. Stavia saved the females from the male stag, which mislead these females and wanted them just for show. It seems to have a lot of parallels between Stavia and Chernon's relationship, and also the way women are treated in the Holylands. The men just want to have a woman who they can mislead, own and dominate, despite not caring much about the women.
I found it interesting how Susannah was chastising her son, but her husband reprimanded her for being disrespectful. It shows just how little respect the women receive, that they are even lower than their own sons.
Susannah hanged herself, which may have truly been brought on by seeing how after only a short amount of time, Stavia was resembling the other wives. Wives were abused, hit, hungry, and shaved. Susannah finally snapped and was sick of being pregnant and beaten, and she did all she could do to take care of Chastity by putting in the implant. She had no reason to continue to live.
The servitors along with the help of Septemius Bird show their true power. Using Stavia's pain, they were able to track her down. To save her, they had an genius plan, based off of Septemius' ideas on magic and trickery. They dressed as demons, associating Chernon with the devil. Also, they found a way to make it look like an angel had saved Stavia. Not only did this terrify the Holylanders, but also prevented them from attacking Women's Country.
Morgot revealed a huge scandal at the end of the reading. None of the warriors actually father any children. Things have started to fall into place. Such as when Myra was getting ready for the summer carnival one time, and Morgot saw the implant in Myra and commented on the importance and usefulness of the implants. As the implant kept Myra from getting pregnant from Barten.
