# Footnotes

CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE CONTINUITY.

mad investor chaos and the woman of asmodeus:

- <span style="color:#000000;">Page 169: Dath ilan is screaming because Carissa wearing Keltham's shirt is terrible for infosec for trying to keep the topic of Project Lawful secret.</span>
- <span style="color:#000000;">Page 173: The problems with this theory are: it's too cold, it's too dangerous, it's not allowed, your weapons enchanter/mindreader wizards don't get patrol assignments, and *handing a random chelish person out on their own absurd power at the worldwound where the treaty doesn't permit kidnapping them* is a hell of a defection risk; people at the Worldwound may not be allowed to say that last part but they'd definitely know it.</span>
- <span style="color:#000000;">Page 177: Regarding "We have just received instructions from Hell that we are to cease that particular policy by which temple-instructed children seen to have fond feelings for other children are noted by their instructors for additional correction in the form of being forced to do Evil deeds that train those feelings out of them," this is a policy change made as part of Asmodeus's bargain with Milani to reduce the number of souls sent to Hell.</span>

<span style="color:#000000;">project lawful and their oblivious boyfriend:  
</span>

- <span style="color:#000000;">Page 1: [Khemet](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/lintamande/page/khemet), the Pharaoh, is a [Maitimo](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/lintamande/page/about-maitimo). [Merenre](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/lintamande/page/merenre) is a [Caranthir](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/lintamande/page/about-caranthir).</span>
- <span style="color:#000000;">Page 2: Ismat is an [Isama](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/alicorn/page/about-isama) and is married to Merenre. </span>Merenre and Ismat's backstory can be found in [baubles and bangles ](https://glowfic.com/posts/3499)([Wiki page](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/sandboxes/page/baubles-and-bangles)).
- Page 54: Merenre only knows about the nine girls whose souls are fetching high prices on Hell's markets; he doesn't know about Pilar or Ione.
- Page 55: By "If your Way is one that Irori can speak of so clearly to me, then it is worth a day of my pursuit at least," Derrina means that Irori's ability to articulate what the gamblers are doing suggests that it's an Irorilike enough pursuit for her to benefit from trying it.
- Page 83: Nethys is aware of the Things That Make You More Real When They Look At You, i.e. the readers of the story. Nethys ordered Caylean to think a Thing-meme where the Things could see it, conditional on events going according to Scenarios 1-4, so that the Things would be interested and look at that event and make it more real, but only if events went according to Scenarios 1-4, thereby increasing the anthropic probability of a Nethys-preferred outcome set.

my fun research project has more existential risk than I anticipated:

- Page 6: Regarding whether or not Pilar can stand up to torture, she is referring to the time she was told she couldn't participate in a prank with the Osirions lest they capture her and torture information out of her.
- Page 28: Hemaka is a [Findekáno](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/lintamande/page/about-findekano) and is married to Khemet, the Pharaoh.
