(Compare their [ passive] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] and [ active] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] forms.) They communicate with and are under the [ control] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] of the central Castle Heterodyne intelligence. It is not known which Heterodyne(s) created the Torchmen, but they predate the introduction of the metric system in Europa. Veteran airmen have a proverb concerning the Torchmen: If you'd live to see the end of day,from Mechanicsburg two leagues stay. Two leagues is, in round numbers, about ten kilometers, although it varies considerably from region to region.
