One of the surprising parts of Koldanar’s claim was that he didn’t have a # and had a different power then the revealed cultists. Sinjin, if we take things at face value, also has no # and has a different power. So for this to work the scum would have needed to know that not all cultists were the same. I’m not sure why they would know that.

Exactly. **Sinjin** , how could scum possibly have that knowledge? I made this same point yesterDay:

If there were indeed 5 deacons, then number 5 would surely have spoken up by now. For these reasons I think that Koldanar is indeed a cultist.
