Guardianship
Under the rotating law of the Dual Corruption, whoever kills the guardian becomes the guardian or is destroyed. Erzebeth is the future guardian of Taurus: after the founding phase she withdraws to take up the zodiacal office, and Maleyka follows her. The Incident of Erzebeth and the Priest is the linked founding episode.
Relationships
A gloss attributed to Book V of the Decadian sets the first two houses in complementary opposition: Aries charges, Taurus waits. The platform is also mapped in Antiterra.
