Tabitha Falkayn contradicts herself not substantively but terminologically. First, she claims to be an Ythrian because she is an Avalonian and Avalon is part of the Domain of Ythri but then she tells Philippe Rochefort that he is no Ythrian to survive hell shrub vapours. She is not an Ythrian in that second albeit more fundamental sense either.
Over the page, Admiral Cajal reflects that the Ythrians will try to stir up third parties like Merseia. Later in the Technic History, Ivar Frederiksen, hoping to detach Aeneas from the Terran Empire, considers seeking help from Ythri or Merseia. However, by that time, the Domain is reconciled with the Empire and Merseia is entirely hostile. Indeed an agent of the Roidhunate is already manipulating Aeneas without Frederiksen's knowledge.
