All\nthe exultantesses are concubines of the Autarch, and are kept in the House\nAbsolute under somewhat strict guard. If Catherine ran away, she could find\nsafety in the Pelerines. Having become dissatisfied with the monials, she\nleft, but was caught in Nessus after a tryst with Ouen. The Autarch of the\ntime, whether it was Appian, or his predecessor (the one who closed the\nroads), had her tortured.\n\nChristopher R.
