I also wonder exactly what Harrow’s parents did when they killed 200 people to conceive her. Using that thanergy to manipulate Pelleamena’s ova on a genetic level to create a necromantic child—John Gauis called it a type of resurrection. And what Pelleamena did does resemble what John did when he murdered everyone on Earth and used the thanergy bloom to consume the Earth and then to create a body (Alecto) for what he could not consume while remaking both himself and Alecto. In a way what Pelleamena did was much cleaner because she did not have to create a body to hold the overflow of thanergy; she shaped all of it into something that would become a person, ultimately creating a necromancer with abilities far beyond a single person, perhaps the closest anyone might have to rival Jod’s. (Consider: how did Pelleamena learn to do this? I think the answer is knowledge passed down from Anastasia’s Lyctoral studies.)

Chthonic refers to the Greek deities associated with the Underworld (or agriculture). The Furies are considered chthonic Gods; Alecto was one of the Furies. John Gauis’s eyes were Alecto’s eyes originally. So his chthonic eyes came from the chthonic figure Alecto, who was entombed in the Ninth, the House most associated with the Underworld.
