I'd agree with this.

Really? I always thought that 'cult leader' would be quite a religious role. I can see how they would see her as a 'great vingan' and role model, but cult leader? Hmmmmm....

I am unfamiliar with this character? Personaly I have assumed that the High Priest of Tarthcaer would be the 'spiritual leader' of the vingans of Dragon Pass. I have identified her as Tarosea. Are there any other interperatations of the leader of Tarthcaer?
> > - Minaryth Purple - I begin to think that he is mostly not there
I'm sure that Minaryth spends all his time (Orlanthi all) in Jonstown. I think that he wants to keep the right side of the law, and keep hidden from the Lunars his rebel credentials.

Agreed.

No, but I suspect a reasonable sized contingent will be present, with Gyffur making apearences.
> And when he *is* there, he's trouble.
I don't think so. I think his warband are more of a problem.
> Broyan can control him. Kallyr might,
I have this reversed. Kallyr hold that banner (can't remember the name) and has his respect. Thus I think that he does what he's told by Kallyr. I'm sure she knows what buttons to press with him as well.
I imagine for the stated reasons that he will defer to Broyan, but I don't think Broyan can 'control' him. If it came to a conflict, I am sure he would choose to follow Kallyr's lead first.

> Canonically? I'm delighted to know it, but what's the reference?
The various warband leaders like Orngerin, Dernu and Gernu et al I think make regular visits, maybe staying for a while , maybe not. I always thought that Orngerin would spend more of his time in Sartar 'taking care of business' for the boss (Kallyr).

Yes. Excellent!

Hate/ Indifference (Leika 'hates' Kallyr/ Kallyr isn't bothered)

Maybe her views change after Beneva dies? Could take a few years, but thaws over time?

Maybe it changes AFTER the seige.

I think that its more to do with the whole situation post 1613. The fall and fall of Kallai and Beneva and what happened to the Colymar, and the exile. Beneva has a few axes to grind. I think this is a lot of what poisons Leika in the early days.

I think that Beneva will be slightly lower profile than that.

Yes thats interesting. What do Ernaldan women think of Vingans and other women who reject the earth?
