Pythian Six

The Pythian Six is a misnomer referring to three old women who live in a house in an unspecified distant region of Poorthwart. Their tale is summarized by Tutor Milk in Poorthwart: The Cataclysm.

History
They are the elderly aunts of a soldier known only as PEACH 4026AG (his ID number) who has gone off to war and disappeared. Desperate to know his fate, the women dispatched the rider Behebayin Cross, a detective for hire who agreed to travel the landscape following battles and picking up relics, trying to find any evidence of their lost nephew.

Cross would send packets of trinkets to the Pythian Six: discarded eyeglasses, shoes, bullets and other items, that they would then connect with on a psychic level to reveal the appearance of the owner, which always turned out to be another soldier. Thus, their search continues endlessly.
