What are the ascians true names?

[Rosenstrauch]

The thing that confuses me about Themis is -

If we’re meant to believe he’s Elidibus, why does he have a white mask? I will have to go back and check but I thought the volcano story referenced in the Tales from the Shadows was referenced in Elpis. In that story, Elidibus is already Elidibus and Speaker of the Convocation so his mask would be red by the time we get to Elpis. If he’s going incognito to investigate, then why are his robes still white if the only people who have white robes are the speaker and ex-Convocation members who didn’t die? And while not everyone would know his face in a society that wears masks, he’s the speaker so I would assume everyone would know his voice.

Well, my thoughts:

If you wanted to go undercover, why would you carry around the thing that obviously identifies you as a member of the Convocation? Putting it away and donning a common mask would be the way to go.

The robe thing is harder to explain, but I get the feeling that everyone collectively misunderstood the significance of the white robes. But I don't have the actual quote on hand to confirm what was actually said about them.

Here's the exact quote:

You needn't be nervous around Venat─those white robes mark her as one of fair and impartial reasoning.

Aside from the emissary, Elidibus, such garb is worn only by those who have stepped down from public office to serve as advisors. Whatever you have to say, she will listen without judgment.

In other words they're not necessarily worn just by retired convokers. At least based on Hythlodaeus's explanation, people of other public offices could wear white robes. So someone with unspecified ties to the Convocation performing an investigation in a white robe might not throw any flags.

#5: Lahabrea: Specialist in Aetheric Creation Magicks.
True Name: Haphaestus (Unconfirmed)
Reasoning: Ericthonious is a Greek King, who was adopted and raised by Athena. In the 6.01 Raids, Pandaemonium, it's revealed that Lahabrea is Ericthonious' Father, and Athena is his Mother. In Greek Mythology, Athena was married to Haphaestus.

That last part is incorrect. Athena was a virgin goddess. Hephaestus was in an unhappy marriage with Aphrodite, who cheated on him numerous times. Hephaestus and Athena are involved in the myth of Ericthonios but not due to being married.

One of them is named Filthy Frank. Though I'm not sure which one... ������

I thought Haphaestus was married to Aphrodite, not Athena.

Thread necro, with 7.3 coming up soon I'd like to discuss Pashtarot's identity. We've got some inclination that they may be related in some way to Sphene's crown. So we have two potential options.

Option #1 Pashtarot is Calyx, and given that the jerk struck us with lightning bolts he's probably Zeus.

Option #2 Pashtarot is Sphene, and given her generous spirit I think she'd be Hera.
