По задумке автора как-то так оно и должно играться.

Если это не оторванная голова колдуна в "сокровищнице" неэвклидового корабля пришельцев из другого измерения - ее надо немедленно сожрать.

3K - действие вроде через тысячу лет после наполеоновских войн.

Так он вроде наоборот выкладывал модели для печати

Учитывая сеттинг, могут и ногу.
