The Nine Houses must be absolutely terrifying to fight.
And not just because their invasions start with a drop ship full of pimply 14 year olds inexplicably armed with zweihanders whose entire remit is to cause a mass casualty event for necromantic purposes...
We're mostly introduced to the schools of necromancy at the beginning of GTN, before we have broader context beyond "ooh, new magic system." But if you think about it in light of what we later learn about the Cohort:
Second House: they can literally drain your life force to power up their cavaliers. "It’s said they all die screaming"
Third House: that pile of corpses in no man's land? They're being used as a power up. Also, someone's just rearranged your face; your arse is on backwards.
Fourth House: that pile of corpses in no man's land? They're bombs now. And if you corner a Fourth House necro, they're a bomb too!
Fifth House: at best, they're the weird technicians for the Houses' horrifying blood and monolith based FTL system. At worst, it doesn't matter if you kill yourself to avoid capture or if you hold out under interrogation until you expire, they can still interrogate your ghost.
Sixth House: drop a cigarette or shed a hair on a clandestine operation? These guys now know your age, shoe size, and approximate location. They know what you had for breakfast. They know what you held in the last 12 hours.
Seventh House: that pile of corpses in no man's land? They're armed and marching on you now.
Eigth House: why is he glowing? WHY IS HE GLOWING?!
Ninth House: the guy next to you's bones just became an IED.

Reasoning:
Do you remember when the Garden of Eden is shown in Adam's past?
Tumblr media
I imagined what it would look like at night, and I came to the conclusion that it could be a landscape in the style of the movie 'Avatar', with bioluminescent flowers.

It came to me like this, it's just a thought...

the hozier concert in sf was truly a gift. my blood, sweat and plenty of (good and happy) tears were shed today. even with ticket complications, hozier’s performance was like a “wall of sound.” he was so kind to his band, crew and audience after several medical mishaps. it was an unreal (unearth) experience and i’m so blessed to have gone to this concert. i will never forget it <3
sending lots of love to those on the floor who had medical emergencies, the group next to us singing and dancing, and the couple who moved to let me and my friend see

Blood of Eden Memorandum for Record
I wonder if this memorandum is from Wake's tenure, or from afterwards. It sounds like BOE tactics may have changed significantly after Wake's death, e.g. John saying that BOE never would have used nukes against his fleet under Wake's command
Tumblr media
I totally thought the exception was going to be that the Ninth House necromancers are still obvious goths, but it was actually the Lyctors, haha
Tumblr media
If this is really the official BOE position on this, that death is 100% final and the soul is completely destroyed on death, then why did they believe that Wake had returned as a revenant, as stated in the previous glossary? Surely, if Cytherea's body had stood up at Canaan House and told BOE that it was Wake returned, they would have dismissed this as being some kind of ruse by a necromancer to fool them?
Tumblr media
After extensive detailing of what necromancers can do, this is completely hilarious, actually
Tumblr media
This can't possibly be remotely true. If any of this was at all true about regular non-Lyctor necromancers, the plot of Gideon the Ninth would have been very different and Cytherea never would have gotten away with killing anyone. Actually, if this was at all true, no one in the entire Nine Houses could reasonably expect to get away with murder under any circumstances, just imagine living in a world with this kind of all-seeing necromancer cops who instantly know all the details of any murder you could commit. Also, the Ninth House would have known how Wake had died and maybe even what she had come there to do, and probably a lot more people would have known about Harrow's family murdering the 200 children. Necromancers can speak to ghosts and find out things from them after their deaths, but this mostly seems to involve a ritual of some kind that seems inconvenient on a battlefield, and anyway, they can't get information from the ghosts that the ghosts don't actually have, such as "where was the sniper who killed you standing"
I have to wonder what actual powers or tactics the Cohort uses that make BOE think this is a thing. Lyctors can sense living humans and thus would know where the snipers are regardless of whether or not they actually shot someone, but I don't think Lyctors have gone out with the Cohort in recent times
Tumblr media
So Lyctors did at one point in time actually engage with BOE (beyond Gideon's mission to assassinate Wake) rather than simply hanging out with John and fighting resurrection beasts for him. Since it took them like 1000 years or so to figure out that the resurrection beasts were out there, maybe it happened during that time? They weren't in the low single digits back then, but they probably have updated information on that from Wake
I have to wonder if they can recognize Lyctors, and would have recognized Harrow and Ianthe as Lyctors when they came to Canaan House, or if they just thought they were dead. It seems unlikely that they would have recognized them as Lyctors given that even actual necromancers were unable to identify Corona as not being a necromancer
It is interesting that necromancers are referred to exclusively using it/its pronouns throughout this whole document, and in a couple cases I think "human" is being used to mean "non-necromancer", as if necromancers are not actually human. This sort of makes me wonder if whatever contingent of BOE that arrived at Canaan House ever even realized the Judith was a necromancer. From the way they talk about them in this document, I don't think they would have taken her captive if they had realized that
It's also interesting that BOE doesn't seem to have ever realized that regular necromancers are kind of useless in space
