It could be thalergetic body stasis! Someone pointed out in the comments that the shrapnel didn't stop (although that could also only really mean he didn't freeze the whole room).
However, the thing Mercy did was anatomical, I remember she basically tied a knot on one of Harrow's nerves somewhere in her nape, and then Harrow untied it with difficulty. Ianthe's "hair curse" was also anatomic, I remember it less, but she changed something in Harrow's hair so it would regenerate to a longer default length, it was a prank.
You know, one entirely terrifying thing about Jod that I don't see anyone talk about is the soup marrow scene, where he, (anyone in the books) for the first time, uses non-necromantic magic - time magic.
I think it's one of the most terrifying things that anyone ever does in the books. No other character had even seemed to ever be aware that any other type of magic could ever exist than necromancy and its 3 subcategories, but Jod muses a lot about time and how he should have mastered that instead of death, which implies he had a choice in this. He even tells Harrow (I think in the biscuit scene).
But there, he could use it. He froze everyone, and Harrow even notes it had a very unusual taste in her mouth, something she never experienced before, something that seemed different from all necromancy she had known of so far. Hell, he even casually shows Harrow a ton of people he had in Stasis for 10 thousand years that he was gonna send to rejuvenate the dying 9th.
Jod can use a type of magic nobody in the galaxy even knows has the potential to exist.

Not even a year has passed, here is the design for Gideon
It's not as detail-heavy as Harrow because overall I had to read and learn more about weapons than clothes (which was fun)
Details as usual under cut
Warrior Saints in Orthodox Christian Iconography
Religious formations rarely had warriors in their ranks, but there are number of holy martyrs who are considered great warriors.
In icons these Saints are often shown holding crosses, a spear or sword, and wearing armor beneath a cloack of red, also representing martyrdom.
My desing has a little in common with there bc is canon she was never described as wearing any armor or colors besides black, but I will use that knowledge for future works...
The Cavaliers (17th Century)
Need to mention that Gideon title (even if it's not real) is Cavalier – this term refers to the Baroque period, when this class of people was most widespread.
Its cool concept and i have seen that other artist do but for my personal opinion that too fancy for Ninth House (I always feel that Gothic Period fit them more)
Medieval-like design
That design not historically accurate at all but ig I can made up some things for vibe or creativity since its fiction at furst place and sci-fi at the second
Swept-hilt Rapier
Rapiers evolved from knightly swords with the purpose of lightening the sword, protecting the hand and increasing the distance in combat
Tbh his is the most common rapier with a stylized pommel (i am not that smart to make my own) but learning new stuff was nice
Zweihänder (Two handed German Sword)
Zweihänder swords developed from the longswords of the Late Middle Ages and was used by the front ranks of the army to fought with and against pike formations.
I highly recommend watching this lady's channel that talking about history of cold weapon, armor and combat technics. Thats an treasury of knowledge.
Knuckle Knives
Furst of all i wanted to make an bagh nakh kind of knives (you can learn more about it from this post), but in book its described as knuckles with three fixed blades protruding from the back (which is not really useful in a real combat as far i know but okay its just look cool)
Thats all thank you for your attention now i am going to watch second part of "How to train your Dragon" with ma bestie and two bottles of beer

Visually seeing Ulysses connected with Ulysses The First made me realize Jod probably named him that because he brought him back from the dead, JOURNEYED him back from The River (parallel to the ocean), if you will!
LOCKED TOMB CHARACTERS X CLASSICAL REFERENCES
explanations for parallels come from here and here
I know I spelt pelleamena wrong and missed off juno zeta btw but it was getting a bit crowded. I could also probably extrapolate more but it can stay like this for now
EDIT: BITS WOT I FORGOT AND ADDITIONS FROM TAGS:
@mayasaura makes a fantastic point about the treatment of gideon's body by BOE being almost identical to the treatment of hector's by achilles, down to animals refusing to touch it and it not rotting or tearing because of divine intervention. hence there should be a light blue line between gideon and hector. this hadn't ocurred to me is and is v cool, here is their post on it (the original asker's point about harrow and priam is also v good)
@iamanoccasionaldoodler points out that Pyrrha is named after Achilles directly, given the 'Achilles taking the name of Pyrrha while on Skyros avoiding the war' thing; I did just forget to draw the line here sorry lol it was in my post! also the tags about camilla and hector... no you're right. they feel so similar, there has to be something.
@zombified-queer mentions I left out dios apate; bugger it, so I did lmao. I was focusing mostly on characters but that's such a big one! in the iliad it's the deception of zeus, hera's plan to distract him by seducing him so that the greeks can regain the upper hand. in harrow the ninth, as we know, it's... not dissimilar! both times in fact it is very similar!
I did also forget Juno Zeta I know, but as it currently stands I don't really know if it has any narrative significance...? Maybe.
I also realised I forgot Protesilaus, god damn it
#the locked tomb#tlt#nona the ninth#john gaius#jod#ulysses the first#AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA#FUCK YOU JOD for renaming everyone you controlling asshole#ever thought how fucked up that is?#almost everyone he renamed was his close friend pre-res (the 2 corpses are exceptions sure) AND THEN THERE'S YOUR DAUGHTER#you find out you have a daughter and you put her in an indestructible dead body and rename her WTF#nona spoilers#ntn#ntn spoilers#nona the 9th
