Gentle Pork Belly is a Zenith-caste Solar Exalt, currently active in the Scavenger Lands out of Great Forks. Pork Belly originally Exalted in RY767, during a rebellion against the harsh theocratic government of Pulchritudinous Mountain in the Hundred Kingdoms, when he emerged as leader of the rebel forces that ultimately triumphed over the ruling Cult of Maizemasa.


The handsome, acrobatic young Solar then moved on, taking the Pilgrimage of Champions to Great Forks, where he seems to have settled. His skill at song, dance, and entertaining see him highly sought-after by the pleasure cults and divine entourages who inhabit the floating world of the city, a rising star preaching freedom from responsibility and enjoyment of life.


The presence of Anathema dwelling in Great Forks is a source of significant acrimony between the city and the Realm’s ambassadors & Immaculate missionaries, though these wield little influence over the city government. The rapidly rising tensions it is causing between Great Forks and Lookshy within the Confederation of Rivers, however, is far more significant, building on bad blood still persisting between the two from the Battle of Mishaka.
