Lexa’s absolute position marginalizes moderate voices within the Deons
The Deons appear through Lexa and Zastor as their faction’s animating force.

The Deons manifest through Lexa’s absolute defense of tradition and Zastor’s reluctant preservation of sacred authority.

The faction’s cohesion frays visibly as internal divisions surface, exposing its inability to act cohesively.
Through high-ranking officers: Lexa exercising spiritual and rhetorical authority; Zastor attempting to balance doctrine with pragmatics under pressure.
Formal authority remains with the Deons, but their ideological rigidity is being challenged and eroded by both external crisis and internal dissent.
The event reveals the Deons’ institutional fragility—symbolized by Zastor’s hidden external contact and Lexa’s escalating defensiveness—undercutting confidence in their ability to govern during crisis.
Visible split between Zastor’s pragmatic leadership and Lexa’s purist faction, exposing a hierarchy under strain as fear overrides policy.
The Deons manifest through Lexa’s leadership, embodying rigid dogmatic enforcement of sacred tradition. Her public defense of the Dodecahedron’s divine origin serves as institutional orthodoxy in direct conflict with Savant inquiry.

Defensive against external ideological challenge, exerting the weight of tradition while sensing its authority waning rapidly
Exhibits staunch unity in defense of doctrine, though Lexa’s defiance reveals underlying absolutism that precludes negotiation with rival factions
