I didn't say they worship Argan Argar. I suggested they had a magic
that was _similar_ to that of the Nightcult through the "unnamed
darkness demon". Considering that even the Heortlings were considered
Kitori at the Dawn, I doubt any debate about the Kitori nature of the
Aramits will be productive.
