Had the thought today that it's never really been explained what Corona was doing during the fight with Cytherea at the end of GtN.

Like, the entirety of Canaan House was shaking. Palamedes blew up an entire wing. The construct smashed most of rest of the building apart. Ianthe and Cytherea engaged in some serious Anime Fighting. And Corona, the last able-bodied person there aside from the Ninth, Ianthe, and Cam, just never even puts in an appearance.

It would be hilarious if she opened a door to see what was happening, saw the construct, and just went, "Nope," before closing the door and sitting back down.

!<So in pages 36 and 37 it says “all were draped in the spectrum of house colors, lacking only black-no empty coffins for your house tonight” and then it describes cythereas coffin, why isn’t there one for Gideon??
After on 37 it says the cavaliers joined their lyctors, I assume the people in the coffins are the other necromancers and cavaliers from the Canaan house (im not sure please correct me of wrong) but didnt only harrow and Ianthe become lyctors, did all the cavaliers get sent back? Did all the other necromancers get sent back?? Why can’t they still send the body’s back even after their soul is like absorbed??>!

!<And final unconnected question, I know harrow entered the tomb when she was like real young but like why does she still see the body? Is part of the body’s soul like in her head or something? And is it a coincidence that Ortus shares a name with a lyctor >!

Im really confused on all of this but if it has spoilers for HTN dont any anything or just tell me to wait

I deeply, deeply love that there are comics and romance novels still, after a myriad of intergalactic travel and necromancy and whatnot. I like to imagine the writers, the illustrators, the publishing houses and printers among the Houses (I would guess on the Third, maybe?) living their lives, telling stories, being happy knowing that their art is going out to planets they'll never visit. To know that someone, somewhere, is drawing a wildly inaccurate Cohort uniform for cover art makes my heart glad.

>!Also, the factories that still make bikkies for the Kindly Prince to dunk in his tea.!<

[<Looks around the subreddit.> Sounds about right.]

I’m so confused. Everything is so cryptic. I’m at the part where the Emperor, Mercy, Ianthe, and Harrow are on the shuttle heading to Mithraeum and he’s explaining the River. Is the story supposed to be this cryptic at this point? I’m assuming everything will start making sense once I get further into the book but I’m so lost. I will concede that this series has been a bit of a challenging read for me so maybe I’m just not understanding lol.

Im only on like page 96 but im suuuuper confused what’s happening is this normal or am I just dumb, if I am just dumb please help me 😭 if not then I got this

Hello adepts and cavs! We're just under a month away from RCCC and I'm looking for any news about Locked Tomb meetups, either casual or cosplay. Does anyone know if one has been planned yet and what day it will be? Thanks!

Cows watch eclipses, man.

Also, John's eyes look very similar to a solar eclipse. Just saying.

It is awesome. That is all.
