Also as is already stated, priests can pull preapproved amounts of mana directly from the Outer Planes, it’s only for things above their quota that they have to route through a saint, or on an occaision like Nysegard.
[quote=Iume;5264]So the reason why Hilda’s links to her illuminaries broke regardless of where she was (material or outer plane) was because they were SITO-O even though it was a mortal-immortal link rather than a direct connection to Tierhallon? In short the links inherited or were contaminated by her SITO and so they mimic it?[/quote]
Will say more once I read Giwdul’s thoughts and digest.
My first gut is this:
All the saints have an answering service, so to speak, they have, I believe, called it their Prayer Queue, so for example they spend a good part of their day going through their Prayer Queues. They also have alert qeues that give them an alert when someone is requisitioning mana above their pre-approved quota, the saint responds to this alert by reviewing the request (real time) and approving or disapproving the request.
All of this functionality is in Tierhallon. So, under normal conditions, everything is routed through Tierhallon, that’s where her Help Desk is located.
That’s prayer and prayer links.
Illumination streams however, run through the saints and then on up. However, once cut, they would have to be manually reestablished. So I think Hilda being in Freehold might be a problem.
Is Tom’s method of binding a soul when ascending D’Orcs used by gods as well when creating their avatars?
I ask because I was wondering if that meant Tiernon knows the true name of all of his avatars and has personal links or not. If not, then how does the saint creation ritual vary?
Also Gastope is technically able to be tizzy’s AM because there’s already a binding link on him.
There are spells that use the link but not the true name. That’s how tizzy was summoned for the lich and ice dragon fight in HH.

Once a link is in place, you don’t need to know the true name to summon the person.
The trouble with this link is “how did it get there?” Gastrope’ couldn’t have done it, he doesn’t know Tizzy’s name, and Tizzy (hopefully) doesn’t know Gastrope’s Now of course, you only need to know the bindee’s true name, not the binders…but even so, it is not something that Gastrope’ or I wager any wizard has ever seen done before.
