Do you think P. C. Cast neglected to name three of the seven members of the Vampyre High Council of Nyx because she thought one named woman of color on the council was quite enough?
#House of Night#Theories and Headcanons#Shekinah#Thanatos#Duantia#Alitheia#Æther#Aether#i know if you count it out there's eight in total#that's because we only see the Vampyre High Council as a group after Shekinah is killed#knowing they'd need an odd number for any important votes to avoid ties#my general headcanon is that when the head High Priestess of the High Council dies#the remaining six vote amongst themselves until four of the six members agree on the successor#only once a successor is chosen do they ask all high priestesses to elect a seventh member to the council#this avoids an unlikely event where a newcomer gets the top job after five minutes in the big leagues#anyway#the staunch focus on Graeco-Roman/Classical society and mythology for the roots of vampyre society and its echelons is...#well it stinks of the same shit the British Empire had going on when they got obsessed with the same thing#i.e. white supremacy#that's the only reason i can think for why P.C. Cast elected to not name those other members but name the others#Shekinah (the Black character with a Hebrew name) just happens to be P.C.'s token
