A Practical Guide to Evil

[Red Fel]

She basically has access to all the powers of the Dark and all the powers of Winter, even if she isn't the source of her own power anymore.

Cat's advantage was never just her powers, Name or otherwise. It was the fact that she always managed to buck the story. If anything, losing her powers made her better able to do that, as without Winter or a Name she's less constrained by the narrative.

We haven't seen what's up with Vivi yet. We know her name is gone or something, but we don't know if it was replaced, or why she lost it in the first place.

My guess? She stopped being the Thief when she started having instead of taking, or started taking legitimately instead of taking covertly, or when she accepted being Vivienne Dartwick over being Thief. Either that, or this is all a ploy to convince people that she isn't Thief anymore, when in fact she still is.

Maybe he could, maybe he couldn't, all we know is that he did something that was so crazy that everything but the Hierophant died, and the Hierophant was watching the whole time.

That's certainly a part of whatever is going on, maybe even all of it. We'll see. His status is unclear but he is probably still Named.

Yeah. Hierophant is basically the wild card in this scenario. Everyone else is going to move in fairly predictable ways. Procer is going to desperately pursue the Legions in an attempt to recover its legitimacy, aided by Pilgrim; the Tyrant is going to move in whatever manner is most disruptive at any given time; the Dead King is going to do his best impression of White Walkers and simply march inexorably; Cat is going to do whatever it takes to disarm, but not destroy, her enemies long enough to convince them to fight the Dead. Hierophant is, in actuality, the most unpredictable variable in all of this.
