A psychic net hangs across the world, and only the Patternists can control it. They use their telepathic powers to enslave lesser life forms, to do battle with the diseased, half-human creatures who rage outside their walls, and, sometimes, to fight amongst themselves.

To seize the throne he will have to coopt or kill every one of his siblings, and he will not shy from the task.
