In [[62]], an earthquake in Pompeii awoke the dormant [[Pyrovile]] who took over the Sisterhood and other cults. The members breathed in dust from the volcano which expanded their latent [[psychic]] powers but also slowly converted them into stone Pyrovile. The power to communicate [[Telepathy|telepathically]] came from the Pyrovile influence but the power of foresight was caused by the [[temporal rift]] created by the power of the eruption of [[Mount Vesuvius]], echoing back through the alternative timeline in which the volcano did not erupt. | In [[62]], an earthquake in Pompeii awoke the dormant [[Pyrovile]] who took over the Sisterhood and other cults.

Sibylline Sisters in [[79]] included: their [[High Priestess]], [[Spurrina]], [[Thalina]], [[Evelina Caecilius Iucundus]], and one other [[soothsayer]] left unnamed. Evelina alone survived the eruption as the [[Tenth Doctor]] rescued her, with [[Caecilius|her family]] in [[the Doctor's TARDIS]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Fires of Pompeii]]'') | |||

Other than killing any would-be enemies of the Pyrovile, its not known what responsibilities the Sisterhood had in the Pyrovile's grand design. In the real world, the Sisterhood in Rome was responsible for the maintenance of the Sybilline Books. | |||
