The Pannion Military
A Pannion Company: '‘Four hundred Beklites, twenty Urdomen, four Seerdomin, one of them ranking and likely a sorceror.’ (MoI, UK Trade, p.762)
Seerdomin
'Seerdomin are the Gifted among the Pannion Seer’s children. Warriors without parallel, yet learned as well.'(MoI, UK Trade, p.287)
'Seerdomin...hulking and silent. Formidable as squads numbering a half-dozen'(MoI, UK Trade, p.366)
Beklites
'Beklites, the red- and gold-clad, peak-helmed regular infantry that was the heart of the Domin’s forces' (MoI, UK Trade, p.306)
The Tenescowri
Caladan Brood:'The Tenescowri are the Seer’s peasant army – they’re fanatics that the Seer doesn’t bother supplying. Indeed, he’s given them his holy blessing to do whatever is necessary to feed and arm themselves. If certain other rumours are true, then cannibalism is the least of the horrors—'(MoI, UK Trade, p.78)
Pannion Temple
'The pyramidal shape continued down to ground level, the copper sheathing broken only by a dozen randomly placed skylights, each paned with slabs of thin rose quartzite. A narrow but high portal marked the entrance, framed by four massive cut-stones – a broad threshold underfoot, two tapering, flanking menhirs, and a single lintel stone overhead. The corridor beyond was three strides in length, revealing the breadth of the pyramid’s foundations. The air within, as they emerged into a wide and shallow chamber, proved hotter than in the compound, the light tinted pink and fractiously cast by the windows.'(MoI, UK trade, p.287)
