There's also the question of why anyone knows what they look like, given the various statues that we've encountered as well as the depictions on the astrologian cards.

I wonder if there's a connection between the original Twelve Archons and the Twelve. Or at least, that's an angle that I hope they take, because I do want to know more about the individual members.
I believe we have evidence of the Twelve's religion existing in the days of Allag, but I can't find what exactly that evidence is. There's also the Ktisis AST weapon which has symbols of the Twelve (including a single-mooned Menphina symbol), but personally I'm disinclined to take that as proof of much of anything by itself, the game isn't usually that subtle.
