Yeah. The problem is that Yima's followers are... something of a cult of personality. People don't betray her lightly, and I can imagine even those who are sceptical getting gradually swayed over to her side anyway, whether it's because she hands them a shard of someone they love, or promises them some world that doesn't exist except in their own imagination. Maybe they just can't resist her personal charisma.

[He's sure he doesn't have to point out Meridian's leadership is much more expendable in comparison, given it's been a topic of vocal discussion amongst those gathered here.]

It's tough... but I'll figure things out.
