Information obtained at extreme personal cost via the Watchers' Society concerning the Weorthan and the Arkhaios Hybris
According to files obtained by Watchers from Weorthan officials, while everyone is called to chaos, not all are called to Arkhaios Hybris.

Unlike Mystes and Kakosphemon, the members of Arkhaios Hybris, called Latron, are incorporated into the oblature by means of private contracts and vows. To be a Latron in the Arkhaios Hybris oblature, one would be suduced, manipulated by promise of power and enthralled by a visionary obsession. Latrons are committed to practice Arkhaios Hybris’ teachings and attend regular ritual and conclaves. Latrons receive different obsessions, and thus there are degrees of membership and the terminology for the types of Latrons refer to the variety of servitude in which they pursue their obsession:

Myriasarethmae account for about 70% of the total Akhaios Hybris membership. Typically, Myriasarethmae are married men and women who are placed in key careers and masquerade as normal community members in whatever society their “family” lives within. A common Culigma term for them are “Seepers”. Regardless of these obligations, Myriasarethmae are always available to assist in organizational matters as are the other types of members. They contribute financially to Arkhaios Hybris as well as being influential operatives in scientific, religious, financial and social arenas.

Arethmae, who comprise about 20% of total Akhaios Hybris membership, are celibate members who usually live in “Ramparts” run by Akhaios Hybris. These Ramparts are co-gender, with unregulated interaction between male and female Arethmae. Arethmae generally have normal careers and devote the bulk of their income to the organization.

Arethmae assistants are polygamists, female members. They’re professional extractors of resources. These resources are obtained from their unsuspecting husbands who are not part of nor knowledgable of the Weorthan. They are dedicated to well being of the domestic needs of the Woerthan, the Arkhaios Hybris, and fellow Latrons. Careers maintained by Arethmae assistants lean toward employment that requires frequent travel and business trips. This helps cover the polygamist aspect of their lives while maintaining superficial residence at their assigned Rampart.

Associates are unmarried Latrons who typically have no family or professional obligations. Unlike Arethmae and Arethmae assistants, Associate Latrons do not report to the Arkhaios Hybris Ramparts, but only to the Mystesagog of the Weorthan.

The Mystely Society of the Basson Tholos is the association of Myste united with the oblature. Part of the society is made up of the Latron of the Arkhaios Hybris oblature: Arethmae and Associate Latrons who were called to the mysteity are automatically members of the Mystely Society. Other members are regular myrmidone zealots.

The Colaborators with Arkhaios Hybris are those who, despite not being members of Weorthan, collaborate in some way with Arkhaios Hybris-- usually through invocation, abhorant sacrifice, or by providing some other assistance. Cooperators are required to be Catholic, Christian, Islamic, Budhist, Hindu or some other mainstream religion for access and appearance sake.
