not sure if i’m really going anywhere with this, it might just be a fun title convention

however, given everything else about how tlt series works, i’d say it’s worth thinking more about!

why does “harrow the ninth” exist instead of keeping “harrow the first”?

why does nona use house terminology?

why does alecto associate with the ninth house and being a cavalier?

i don’t think anyone after gideon is really the traditional ninth house cav (and even then, gideon is far from traditional). but i think that role is a very special role in the story, and tells a lot about how the characters view themselves.
