we_bring_hellThis is kind of like one of those logic grid puzzles; we know:
-the number of keys owned by each person
-ownership of 5 of 8 colors of key
-the nature of 3 of 8 trials
-the description of 8 of 8 steps for the megatheorem
-the interior of 3 of 8 Lyctoral studies
Extra-canonical information also gives us for each House:
-associated colors
-specialty magics
Tracking keys:
-The key Abigail Pent won was the key to a tastefully decorated room where Ianthe learned to FIX the soul.
--Inferentially, this was probably the GREEN key for the SEVENTH study.
-Silas has a black (Ninth) key and takes the grey (Sixth) and white (Eighth) keys off Dulcinea
-Harrow wins a red (Second) key and gives the white key to Dulcinea
-Therefore Palamedes has the gold (Third) key and two others, unspecified
--Inferentially, these were the navy Fourth and brown Fifth keys.
Ianthe articulates the steps of the Lyctoral process; we can try to tie Houses to Steps:
-PRESERVE the soul (Fifth; aligns with their specialty/nature)
-ANALYZE the soul (Second; based on their trial*)
-ABSORB the soul (Sixth; based on the evidence in their Lyctoral study**)
-FIX the soul (Seventh; by inference above + aligns with their specialty/nature)
-INCORPORATE the soul (Fourth; a euphemism for turning the soul into a power source?)
-CONSUME the flesh (Third; aligns with their specialty/nature)
-RECONSTRUCT the flesh (Ninth; aligns with their specialty/nature)
-EMPOWER the flesh (Eighth; Ianthe infers as much)
*the merging of cav/adept perceptions
**the merging of souls to create the constructs/Teacher
Now obviously, ANALYZE seems more closely aligned with the Sixth House in nature, but not with the findings in their Lyctoral study. And if the Sixth contribution doesn't fit with their expected personality, a lot of the other inferences are weak. But the Eight and Seventh are pretty on-the-nose. So.... maybe.
One thing I think is interesting is that each Lyctoral test provides more than one theorem... for instance, solving the Sixth puzzle involves psychometry, their specialty, but points the adept to study the constructs more closely, providing the ABSORB theorem. Similarly, the Second trial uses the ANALYZE theorem to link perceptions, but requires the perpetual bone that seems more aligned with the Ninth.
