What would make it perfect would be if, among the Grand Inquisitor's possessions, there was the key that would activate the orbital bombardment system, and Clyntahn destroyed it during the fit. Merlin telling Clyntahn that he had the key to victory in his hands, and destroyed it himself would be the most exquisite torture. :twisted:

Given the textev that you could fire Paiter's key out of a cannon without harming it, it seems unlikely that Clyntahn could destroy his key. OTOH, it could have accidently been thrown out by the cleaning staff when cleaning up after one of his "tantrums".

Greetings! We thank you for summoning Bishop Wylbyr home so that we might send him along with Bishop Zakryah, Father Mairydyth, Brother Zherohm, Father Charlz, Sister Tyldah, and Brother Hahnz to render a long overdue accounting for their actions before God and the Archangels.

Is it possible that the Sister Tyldah above is the sister of Byrtrym Zhansyn? Maybe she became upset when she found out that the "Fist of God" had killed vicars and turned in Helm Cleaver! maybe even the Sisters of Saint Kody, including sisters Zhorzhet and Marzho! If so, she is the first turncoat of which we are aware. Perhaps the inner circle is next?
My prediction record is perfect, I am always wrong but fun anyway.

Interesting thoughts on the name. However, if it is her, it's more likely she is listed among the dead to cover her exfiltration, after she facilitated whatever it was that frightened Rayno so much.

Mother Church’s rod of correction was never created to become the personal whore of an arrogant, egotistical fornicator who sets his personal, unholy ambition above the will of God Himself.

I just finished re-reading By Heresies Distressed and found a new thought op up in the last chapter. Samyl & Hauwerd are having their after diner conversation and one of them said that their family had a history from the day of creation to cause trouble for people like Clyntahn and earlier the point was made that the Book of Schuler and the Order it established were intended to keep the priesthood in line...
Seems like an Ultimate Weapon that got out of control.
