That sounds scary. I'm sure the Order is up to no good. In the years since his ordeal, has Washburn been able to find no healer capable and trustworthy enough to learn the blocking power? It must put a lot of pressure on him. If the Order were to find another way to help any of their members to acquire it, that could be a BIG problem.

Mostly I'm just wondering if Bynw picked up on the easter egg I left him.

Question, who exactly are the the Williamites? I read about a group that followed William of Orange but they were much later, in the 1600s. Just curious about this group.

The Willimites are mentioned in the Camber era books. They were an anti-Deryni cult that I think were named for St. Willim, a martyr who I think was killed by Deryni, though I could be wrong on those details, given how long it's been since I read the Camber era books.

New Willimites - Brothers of St William? Bywn in "Ghost's of the Past Epilogue Stories" - his teaser for "Forgotten Shadows" - p4??

I've seen Williamites and Willamites and Willimites used interchangeably; I assume it's all the same people.

[Laurna]

I think they are all related to insect that crawls through hair.

Yes they are all the same. Spelling wasn't standardized in our own history of that time. So it's certainly realistic.

But the correct spelling per Codex would be "Willimites"

[revanne]

And they revere St Loris, martyred for his defence of humankind and the protection of the clergy from Deryni taint.

Ducks and runs

It was the alternate Synod which got to me.  Shades of London at present.  Joins you in hiding.

[revanne]

If we invite Demercia we could have a little Synod of our own!

Completely the wrong era but somehow I imagined them  in Klu Klux Clan robes.

[JudithR]

Which of you is the House of Bishops, and which the House of Clergy?  I can be the House of Laity.

[revanne]

Alas we have no bishops, we are both house of clergy. But Demercia is an honorary King's chaplain with a red cassock for special occasions so might that do instead.

[JudithR]

Absolutely

Thanks everyone for the information. I was getting a bit confused and your info helped.
