The Oracle at Delphi and the Pythia's compromised state — the Cult's control of the oracle as the mechanism for controlling Greek belief itself. Prophecy in the ancient world is political infrastructure: if you control what the gods are said to want, you control what people believe they must do. The Cult understood this and built its architecture around the oracle's authority.

Ambition clouds the oracle because ambition is what the Cult has instead of faith — the drive to reshape the world in a specific image, to use the sacred as a tool. Kassandra arrives at Delphi with a question and finds that the answer has already been purchased by someone with a different agenda. The session is the game making its political argument most explicit: the gods are not silent in Greece. They are managed.
