People present[]
Redid this memory, and in addition to the PC and Deimos, there are 27 Cultists within the Sanctuary, not counting Elpenor and the guards. We can name:
That's only ten. We know for a fact that one of them can't be Zoisme, as she stated in her letter to Harpalos. Another missing member is Swordfish, as he sent a letter instead. Belos seems to also have missed out, and it's arguable that Iokaste might have stayed away as well, as her followers reference the length of her absence. Others I'm less sure about. Does the novel elaborate on who's present at the meeting? Sadelyrate (siniath) 11:10, June 16, 2020 (UTC)
- No, it doesn't. Just Chrysis, Silanos, and Diona are named, while only the Monger, Brison, and Hermippos get indirect mentions. As well, all 42 members are present. There are five other unnamed Cultists, but are all described in general detail. One brushes by Kass as she enters the lair saying, "Do not tarry over there. The artifact has been brought out. Hurry, or you will miss your chance to hold it", even though the pyramid seems to be (is?) fused to its pillar. Another interrupts Diona's argument from behind Kass in the shadows with:
And three others rush to the pyramid just before Deimos arrives and begin chanting. Everyone else are just anonymous male/female figures in robes and masks. – Darman (talk) 14:55, June 16, 2020 (UTC)"Pah, the answer is neither. Both are elusive. Perikles of Athens is not—he wanders around wearing his plumed helm like an archer's target. Let us cut out his heart and cripple the Athenians and their chaotic and orderless ways. Or perhaps install a leader in his place who more suits our aims."
