I am not a light novel reader, tho i did spend about 1.000 hours in Danmemo over the span of 3 years. I got the Syr thing spoiled a few years ago. so it is funny for me to see the hints because while i know the what i do not know the how and why

Those will come out before the arc's over.
As for the review, great analysis of the first three episodes, especially likening Freya Familia to a cult. The way different familias are structured and act differently is a point that I have long felt gets under-emphasized in discussions and analyses about the series, and it's absolutely critical to fully understanding this arc.
There was also a little Easter Egg in this episode for long-time players of Memoria Freese: one of the hero statues on the Hero's Bridge was clearly meant to be Fianna, the leader of the Knights of Fianna, which is a canon part of the setting's backstory that was featured in a multi-part game event. When Finn speaks about restoring the glory of his race, he's referring to this person in particular.

How many gods and familias are there in Orario? I get the impression it's in the hundreds. Or at least dozens. They can't all be as distinctively different as the ones discussed in this review. Some must be more alike than others where the differences are more subtle.
Are there any familias with more than one god as the head? For example a married god couple?

The comedy is top tier, but Syr's cuteness is no slouch either. It's nice seeing Ais express care for Bell.

I'd wondered if they were going to adapt the "Episode Freya" light novel before doing this arc, maybe as a four episode OVA or something.
It seems not.
That's actually a bit of a pity, because what Episode Freya emphasizes - and this is important - is that Freya is not evil. Quite the opposite - she's on the side of order against chaos.

I like how this season started. I hope to enjoy it as much as season 4.
