They went down to the planet and enslaved the ants that live there.

Portia approves of this message.

You’ll have to remind me, was that the leader or the rebel?

EDIT: Wait, without looking it up, I just realized they only gave a name to the leader. Is that right?

She was the main character, she was a high priest, warrior who "defeated" the ants, hunter, etc. Portia was the name given to the main guy of the story.

Yeah, but isn’t that name passed down? It has been a while since I read Children of Time (haven’t read the rest of the series). I swear there are multiple spiders over the span of the plot that are given the name.
