Where was it the Prince sent his Crows that angered The Nine? Or, more specifically, what was the significance of the location to The Nine and what was the Prince attempting to spy upon? EDIT: What are the Cauldrons of Rhea? Rhea is a Saturn Moon. What interest does the Nine, being Jovian, have in Rhea. Shouldn't they be in the Cauldrons of Europa?

  • The Jovians refer to all of the gas giants collectively

  • Yup. Previous poster specified one of them so I used that for an example. Original question stands: What is Cauldron of Rhea and what importance is a Saturn Moon to the Jovian Nine?

  • The Cauldrons of Rhea are pure Destiny invention, they don't exist in real life. The Nine are possibly located in that region, or maybe their Strange Coin stash ;)

  • While the Cauldrons might be made up, Rhea is not. Just like Earth, Venus, Saturn, etc are real. Rhea is real, and it ain't circling Jupiter. I guess there *could* be The Cauldrons of Rhea on another moon that isn't Rhea, but that's just stupid. Like the Mountains of Cleveland being in Milwaukee. (And thus NOT being called by a more sensible name like... oh... say.... The Mountains of Milwaukee.] I take it no one has a legit answer. I'll re-ask in group then. Until then, I had a back-up theory in my pocket: [spoiler]The Nine, although Jovian, keep summer vacation houses on Rhea. While there on retreat, they will hold summits and councils. The prince felt it was easier to spy on them here, than on their more secure home world. [drops mic{ [/spoiler]

  • Yes, I know Rhea is a real moon of Saturn, and the Cauldrons are located there. Seeing as the four collective has planets are called the Jovians, the Nine probably have a presence across the Outer System

  • Ah!! So I know the Jovian system are the *MOONS* of Jupiter. What I was missing is that a Jovian planet is a large gaseous planet, of which both Jupiter and Saturn would each be one. (Neptune and Uranus are the ice giants that qualify.) So, jovian system != Jovian planet. My bad. I had presumed most of the Nines activities to be restricted to Jovian systems (Jupiter's moon), rather than Jovian Planets. If it were the former, it is all the more strange they have this Outpost on a moon on another planet. If it is the latter meaning, not so strange. But still my original question was asking what is the significance of the Cauldron of Rhea. I presume we have no answer yet, then. But thanks for the replies!!

  • Also, Rhea is a moon of Saturn, not Jupiter. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhea_(moon)

  • Well, I *know* what you said. I also know he sent his crows to the Cauldrons of Rhea. I also know Rhea is a Saturn moon. So are you telling me there is a place on Europa called the Cauldrons of Rhea?

  • Oh, okay. But this is what I'm referring to: [quote]"More of your brother's Crows have entered the Cauldrons of Rhea." The Witch directly before her spoke with a dry buzz. "The Nine do not approve."[/quote] So, that still leaves my question open

  • I couldn't remember the name "Cauldron of Reah", but then that must be where the nine reside or make council?
