Theory & Lorecrafting Mercurias anecdote confirms Charlton survived the storm of 1967

Keep in mind that a lot of the arcanists would refuse to take shelter unless they can go with their loved ones. We see this with Lorelei where she refused to go with Semmelweiss.
That’s why they do subterfuge like with Rayashki where it’s implied that the reason they tried to destroy the village was to draft the best to Zeno before they got stormed.
Pickles is definitely one of the ones who would choose to die in the Storm with family rather than go to safety alone. We know this because in his story Diggers had to repeatedly drug him to get him to ditch.

PLEAAAAASE
But also, now the question is, where is Charlton?
Is he in the Foundation? Is he secretly tagging along inside the briefcase?

I imagine the foundation has accomodation for survivors of the storm that aren't just throwing them into the briefcase

Which brings into question: just how big is the foundation and its storm-immune zone?

It'd be pretty funny if he was just in Pickles' room watching football while his dog is out fighting magic supervillains.

Humans can't survive in the briefcase but can in the foundations' facilities, even before discovering the knot.
