The latter seems to be the case to an extent, but that's still odd because Marlon is seperate from the mainland and the forest in the first place. Chapter 2 of Lunacy shoud answer the question about the Held sect's popularity after Levia dwindled with the MKL. It sounds like Divine Levianta is what really renewed the sect's dominance. It's probably the dominant faction of the three there (or at least that's what's implied).

Also, I don't think it matter what Marlon's geography is. It interacted with Beelzenia and Elphegort before Kyle imposed the blockade. Probably a bunch of Held sect followers/missionaries spread the faith there first, regardless of its dominance. It seems trade with Divine Levianta though has caused Levia to become the major presence (I wonder why this sect is so popular?).

I got the same impression about Shaw; he is a 12 year old boy after all. Those hormones have to be starting somewhere (and please don't tell me this is how Elluka convinced Shaw to give her all the wealth and power of the Freesis Foundatin.... Elluka no!).

Octo, have you ever heard of the phrase "blue in the face"? When you're blood has more CO2 then O2, it's bluer/paler (blood flow also affects this coloring). Basically, Yukina's saying Germaine looks so sickly that she appears to be dying (due to the extremely bumpy ride). You see this a lot in animation.

And yeah, Gula having a cure was mentioned in Praeludium. Here, I got the quote:

"Fifteen years ago, the Gula disease, originating in Beelzenia, spread throughout the Evillious region. Although a way to cure it was recently discovered, it was previously an uncurable disease."

Yukina said this in Praeludium right after Gumillia told her that practicaly everyone at the graveyard had died of the disease.
