So, not a correction then, because as I said, he proceeded to Cause Problems.
No, it seems more like a Daemon of Necoho (or, Nehoco). Otherwise why trying to needle Xenophon out of his faith?
A Chaos Undivided daemon, maybe.
Sorry Ambrose, the embrace will come later in the plot, as the city falls around us and the circumstances are more dramatic.
Araby at this time exists to be Nehekhara's punching bag, periodically getting conquered by Nehekhara and then gaining their independence when Nehekhara weakens. After the fall of Nehekhara, they enjoy a brief golden age, before Arkhan the Black decided that they were having things to good and spent the next thousand years slowly pushing them to the edge of collapse for the fun of it(the Wars of Death). Reducing Araby to a few weakened city-states and a handful of desert tribes. It takes Araby centuries to recover from that.

Sorry, not for this vote.
Carthage was one the Major powers of the Mediterranean. The only time they got "bent" was against the Roman Republic. Which first of all, it's the Roman Colossus. Secondly, they lasted considerably longer against Rome than anyone else par the Persians/Iranians. Counting merely the 1st and 2nd Punic Wars, meant that Rome and Carthage punched each other in the face for 40 years in a full spectrum war of dominance.
Will vote for duty then.
Massive red flag right here. Trying to separate us from the rest of our connections, a classic move of manipulators of all stripes. I mean the logic makes no sense. Wouldn't having nobody mean it would be easier to leave? Besides Pelops does have somebody; he has us.
And that's the other thing. This whole thing has gone really fast and is being laid on really thick.
Did we though? Do we have a reason? I don't seem to recall a clear motivation or deliberate choice in the matter. It's pure bumbling on our end. First we got the accursed sword to prevent having our mind messed with, and then we then we underestimated the amount of heresy we were about to commit by interrogating the ghost for more info. We seem to just be mind-fucked by the anti mind-fuck sword. (irony thy name is Neocho) Honestly, that is the one big piece of evidence against the idea that Ambrose is enchanting us because he would need to find a way past the defenses of the sword.
Eh... The more I learn about the history of this place the more I wonder if it was doomed from the get-go. Plus we know that Tylosi can't be saved. If we focus too much saving the city, I worry it will distract us from saving its people which is a fight we can actually win.
Now that we can do. Granted I fear throwing the baby out with the bath water, but all of the options seem to have a down side.
Tempting but a bit myopic and leans a bit to much into "darling" Ambrose
Yeah, no. Not until we know what Ambrose's deal is. Heck the fact that it's a vote is another red flag.
No pressure then.
I'd think the sword is protection from divine mental manipulation. Necoho is the Doubter, he's against Gods of all stripes, but that would leave a loophole you could drive a truck through with regards to mortal mental manipulation.
