[What Came Before]

In which Army are Scarlet Spires serving right now?

[What Came Before]

The Great Ordeal is reunited, coobek. Together they will feast on Sranc and siege Dagliash .

+1 Centurion. That's why I suspect that their value lies in Daimotic Sorcery.

[What Came Before]

Yeah. I need a re-read definitely Madness. I still thought they were split.

[What Came Before]

With the destruction of the Southern army he is also the only Grandmaster who wasn't put into power by AK.

[What Came Before]

Good call, generic, +1.

Personally, I think that Iyokus makes an unlikely traitor because of the fact that he would seem to be tailor-made to fit that role.

We know that Achamian blinded Iyokus with the blessing of Kellhus, and even if Iyokus is not aware of this connection we should probably assume some level of suspicion.  We also might suspect that a combination of Iyokus' addiction and his blindness give him some defense against Kellhus' Dunyain abilities (I believe they probably do), but if Iyokus indeed has the ability and the motivation to betray Kellhus then we have to assume that Kellhus is aware of this himself. 

I would hazard that Iyokus definitely knows that the Warrior-Prophet sanctioned his blinding to appease his Holy-Tutor...

Crackpot time.
I was thinking, perhaps Iyokus is working for the consult. 

Possible ways of avoiding detection by Kellhus;
He avoided Kellhus for pretty much the entirety of PON,
His passions are vestigial thanks to chanv,
He is used to having see thru skin so he knows all about the 48 face muscles etc.
Hiding your true intentions is as per Yatwer's spit is a side effect of consorting with demons, or a basic incipient glamour in the arsenal of the Daimos.

Out of curiosity, why is he referred to as the Necromancer? Just the association with Daimotics/Outside/summoning of spirits?

[Madness]

I assumed so, yeh?

[Wilshire]

Probably summoning of spirits. Though perhaps a term born from ignorance, as the ciphrang are hardly re-animated dead.

[Madness]

According to Pat's interview a couple years back, Ciphrang have never walked the World as mortals.

But I can see how the Necromancer is an easy title to give someone who enslaves Ciphrang.

[Cüréthañ]

Maybe he has summoned dead things somewhat akin to the wight?

[Madness]

I don't think so but that would be craziness...

So weird. What is up with that Wight?

[Borque]

Crackpot:

Iyokys has, since his blinding, researched the Psûkhe. He is now an Anagogic Titirga, with some extra Daimos on top.

Could be interesting.

[Madness]

There is definitely something about being blind in Earwa.

Iyokus would know then that Yatwer protects Sorweel.
