Fin the reason we believe it is sent to the didact is because of the following lines
"Had we acted sooner; had we acted more decisively..."
something the didact always talk about when referring to the flood
Yeah, but you'll note the following:
(a); The letter-writer is quoting the Didact there, it's not his own words, he is using the Didact's musings to try and persuade his Father.
(b); The Didact would not accuse someone of going to war for "the anomalous desire to end another's life" he is a warrior and has been all his life, it doesn't fit.
(c); The Didact's children are all dead at this point, Cobra's point aside, we know of no surviving children he has.
and the shield of privilege is a reference to the shield worlds, something he would have wanted his family to take place in.
I think you are reading too much into it, it merely means social privilege, he's the son of a 'nobleman' as it were.
it could very well be one of bornstellers other siblings writing to their dad or another forerunner all together
I think this is the much more likely option.
