Among Thellim's first thoughts is that maybe she can figure out how to present as some kind of superdominant, a third sex in the system, that makes all the current dominants want to obey her.  This isn't possible if the world is in nearly inexploitable equilibrium, but that's exactly what so many visible features aren't in.  Maybe nobody here can imagine that possibility without the moon driving them mad, for the same reason they can't think about optimizing heritable traits without running amok with kitchen knives.

Having the dominants obey her wouldn't actually solve the problem where the moon is altering half the population to seek out painful experiences.  But it would be a start on whatever actually needs doing.

Are the children saner before they go through their eclipses?  It's funny to think of taking over the world with an army of eleven-year-olds but that doesn't mean it's a bad idea.  Thellim might not have been on the competitive frontier of adulthood at age eleven, but she could still do a lot.

...Though a few months isn't much time to get a persistent army set up, if Thellim has to get that done before her own eclipse drives her mad.

But that could all be based on mistaken premises.  Yeah, she has a lot of reading to do.
