Characters[[edit] | edit source]
- Chatelaine Thessalia
- The babel
- The Imperator
Worldbuilding[[edit] | edit source]
- There is a citadel on the Homeworld.
- The Imperator and Thessalia were woven together on House Dvora's "shining silver looms."
Notes[[edit] | edit source]
- As Thessalia recalls the foundation of the Order of the Weal, the babel misquotes Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan, substituting the phrase "Common Weal" for "Commonwealth".[1]
Continuity[[edit] | edit source]
- According to the babel, the Great Houses would have eventually called the Imperator "War King," a title used much later during the War in Heaven. (PROSE: The Book of the War)
- Thessalia refers to the southern mountains as a place home to hermits (TV: State of Decay) and feral cats. (AUDIO: Erasure, et al.)
