No? It was supposed to be grim and horrific. It is there to show how monstrous Arueshalae was. That a kind and noble knight was reduced by her manipulations to... this. It is there to show what she attempts to rise above. It's a man whose memory haunts Arueshalae's nightmares. What made you think that it is funny and being played as a joke?

Creating strawman arguments that the fanbase isn't actually making seems completely unnecessary.

Yes/no/maybe? Demons do not and can not love the way mortals do, and Arushalae describes all sex involving a demon as an act of cannibalism and fight for dominance. Vellexia is no exception. And that option Fundamentally, that is the mindset that Vellexia and other demons live in. Abyss is classified as Chaotic Evil after all.

I can not be very specific on account of not having the books anymore. The big ones would be turning Rasputin, a real life figure whose history and influence are heavily shrouded by British and Bolshevik propaganda, into a cartoonish evil wizard. Russia is once again a snow-bound freezing wasteland (summers are +40 where I'm from). The visit to Russia in "Rasputin Must Die!" consists largely of slaughtering uncommunicative evil Russians who attack using swarm rules.

I'll also point out that "Reign of Winter" is... Well, it's kinda racist. You know how 5e has been trying to get rid of Oriental Adventures type content recently? "Reign of Winter" is like that. It's very much like that. Being Russian, "Reign of Winter" is definitely not something I'd want to adapt or see adapted. Iron Gods would be cool though.
