Chapter 13I became a regular guest of Fat Vincent after winning his silver that first night. I never wore it outside of his duplex. It was gaudy and not to my taste. My playing got better, and I became one of the best players at the duplex. I also got to read some more themilys, and I talked with a lot of players about their interpretation of Dexter’s disobedience and the worship of the river god.
Most of them still disagreed with me, citing the same reason that Fat Vincent had given on my first night here. The believers and followers of Kammbi in this city treated the players and the people throughout the River district as apostates, and they had criticized the sacred Festival of the River God as heretical. To the people of this district, that attitude toward them was unforgivable.
