So, stage is set...what if that same Chosen ends up being one of several that Simon manages to entice to his side...which he arms with his altered Shining swords. The more swords, the more of an honor guard or strike squad he can have.

I had the same thought, though it's unlikely that this is the intended use of the Shining stuff. Unless the Church somehow strips the issued weapons and armor from "deserters", the Chosen will have kept them by the time they join Simon. Of course, another possibility is for Simon/Ivala/someone else to recruit new, but better Chosen and equip them with Simon's collection. Anyway, isn't Sierra on record that the swords and armor only have value as collectibles?

A hypothesis of mine about the Shining stuff is that it's been infused with Ivala's power and it might be possible to get that power "recycled" and returned to her.

Wait, Dari has Chinse style clothes and Erosia is almost textbook Asian influenced...she would make the perfect assassin for Estavan. With the spells being talked about to make her look more human, I can easily see a careless Estevan 'claiming her' since 'all women belong to him' and once he has her alone...she is an Unwoman, however unwilling. and they were created to defeat IK.

Didn't Vhala or Dari herself mention that while the modified process stripped Dari of her sexuality, she didn't gain the usual Unperson perks? She might have gained something else, but it's possible that it's not effective against lust-based enemies. We don't even know if she's a combat or a non-combat character yet.
