Now to the third sentence of the Tartaros quote. After being
made to forget<br>
how to worship properly, complete with sacrifices, when the
first people saw<br>
the altars set up in the cities that had been built for them,
they went back<br>
to worshipping as they had been taught, complete with
sacrifices. What had<br>
changed?<br>
<br>

Well, the worship they had been taught in the "orientation
area", which had been attached to their deep memories of
Typhon et al & so survived the wipe.</div>

Something a little remarkable is implied here, I think. Had Typhon
had his druthers --Lemur believes-- the colonists would have had no
memory of him or his family. The system of gods ruling the Cargo on
the Whorl is a workaround. "They will remember us no matter what we
do, so we will distort their memory of us". This is contrary to our
typical view of Typhon's egotism. Perhaps, if they remembered the
Typhons, they would remember the rest of their lives on Urth and
their lot aboard the Whorl. Perhaps, the concern was that if they
retained their memories, then they not be content to remain as cargo
and join forces to take over the ship. Keep them confused so they
could be controlled.<br>
