In fact, they're positioned in opposition to demons rather than Incubi. Maybe they had to flee Earth after losing some war against the IK? Then again, the Mother had no problem teleporting away both the FL and the DK, despite their respective power levels.

I'm still of the opinion that Antiala isn't an actual goddess, but just a towerwalker. When Wynn analyzed her power it wasn't divine, and Wendis didn't knew about her. She's more likely the one in Zirantia whom the Anak describes as "having some talent, but wasting it." So her earthly appearance is moot IMO.

The Anak also says this: "There are also a few walking the Tower who I worry might return to reality and use what they learned to disturb the balance. But the world has endless concerns. Balancing them all is my task, not yours." Maybe he's actually bullying Goddesses into idleness (with keeping them prisoners and stuff). That would explain why they stay hidden and use believers to do their work for them.

Btw, the Anak mentions two "hidden" towerwalkers in Arclent. While one of them seems to be Alonon, I'd say that the evidence thus far points toward the other one being behind the Chosen, and maybe the demon attacks on Ardford. Since there was a Chosen ex machina in the Aramite tower, that would seem to be an ally. The attack against Tyna may have been a plan to get Kalant in her pants too. But the other, generic attacks against Ardford don't fit well with that theory... I like your theory of Antiala just being a Tower walker on a power trip. I think there almost certainly WAS an original Antiala, (each race is meant to have a creator goddess and we found the ancient statues of a Zirtanian like goddess in the pyramid ruin way back when) but the old Antiala likely died in whatever original conflict there was between kings and goddesses and the new one is just pulling the same trick the current LustLord is trying for.

But if it's safe to bet that the first unnamed tower walker is King Alonnon, wouldn't the other have to be Ginasta? Her being in Zirtania afterwards being a red herring to make us think she is the one Anak is referring to the one who has surprised him in not getting killed? I guess she being part of the tower or purely anti incubus king might mean she escaped even his sight but that's a stretch. Or maybe Anak just said there was only two so we wouldn't bother looking for a third...

I want to put my money on Hester being highly involved in the chosen popping up but there is the contradiction of her bringing it up in question to Sarai. But she is definitely up to something, I think we all noted her disappearance during the demon attacks during the religious summits, and all her talk about things that once mattered no longer seeming so relevant make me think she is starting to view the world from a different perspective.
