Indicus,& Plant Hwyaden, can you tell me about what we should know about them at this point about the leader and his group, because I honestly completely forgot about them as well.

Plant Hwyaden is the sort-of equivalent of the Round Table in Minami, but unlike the Round Table, they're actually more of a government. They're also made up of a single huge guild with off-shoots, have some People of the Land on their ruling council (The Ten-Seat Council), and are more...morally flexible than Shiroe's group. While I wouldn't call them the bad guys per se, they're definitely more than a little shady.

Indicus is the leader, but she likes to keep in the background, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she manipulates Nureha, who is sort of the public face of the guild. She's a little cartoonishly evil, but that seems to come from her having used the game as a way to feel better about herself and now that she's living it, she's become kind of unhinged. If anyone's in a position to screw things up royally, I'd say it's her.

Remember how Naotsugu had a romance thing going on with Marielle before Tetora showed up?
Me neither

Plant Hwyaden is a dictatorship, where Nureha is the empress/dictator. They are different than the round table council, in that the round table is equal in authority where Plant Hwyaden is what Indicus/Nureha orders. Plant Hwyaden includes NPC's (nobles and generals) in their group
They are polar opposites. While one wishes to thrive in this game world, the other group wishes to survive and return home. This is why the author will be trying to "destroy" the round council and the main characters of this light novel / web novel series.

Yes, Roe2. She popped up in the storyline in the 2nd half of season two, when Isuzu wrote the new song. She's the reason why Shiroe realized that maybe the moon had something to do with the Catastrophe and tried to contact the people up there.

I think so, but I was kinda asking seriously. Like, no Tetora anywhere in the room, then *bam* Tetora pops out of his shirt. That happened every time, like he's got a portal hidden under his clothes. I couldn't see any other explanation for how that kept happening, but I'm sure there is one.

You might remember Eins being the guy with his thumb pressed against his head frequently in round table meetings Laughing

(unless I'm thinking of someone else...)
