I think this is good reasoning. By it, we must conclude that Pas' Plan was meant to use Viron as a
central focus point for the whole Whorl. Why Viron? I'm thinking that of all his family kids, Scylla
was the most likely candidate as an heir and Viron is her city. Maybe there is something to pursue
along these lines.

I find grounds to disagree. Especially if we consider James' theory of Spring Wind=Typhon, using
Alexander as a model. Alexander/Spring Wind is a gentle, intellectual mama's boy who rises to become
a clever, charismatic military general. Silk also. Alexander/Typhon loses it when he sits on a throne
and becomes a jaded, besotted megalomaniac.
Could that have happened to Silk if he had lived and become a political ruler? (is Rajan a hybrid example
of Silk in this role?)
