On the renewing of the Nine *PIC*

The Avatara have always seemed to me to the leaders of Magic for the cath Bruig and Later the Province.

As in the 9 most powerful mages in the world commanded the academy and all powerful, but non Avatar, mages were called Arch-Mages. These Nine made the important decision involving the College, not too unlike the Council of 8 Wizards of the Unseen University in the Terry Prachett Discworld Series.

It wasn't until the fall of Muirthemne that the began to take control of Armies, being the most powerful guys around. Perhaps they moved their HQ to Covenant as the Cath Bruig collapsed. Those that survived the fall of Murithemne stayed in the Province, training others to be Mages.

The theory on the constant renewel of the Nine comes up that in the Comic it stated "Shiver had defeated those whom Rabican had considered his peers" Suggesting that other Avatara had fell to Shiver, and after 17 years you'd expect another few to fall. So I suspect that they continued to initiate someone else into the nine thus keeping it the nine. Until after the battle at Madrigal when things were just too rushed to train or initiate another avatar.
