I've a few questions about the Head (don't we all...) that I think you guys might be able to help me out with. First of all, we are told that it was found in the desert "buried under several tons of rock." Moving this much material is quite an effort, so it's quite probable that the Head wasn't discovered by accident (although, I'm probably wrong, as I don't know where exactly the Head was discovered--might have been just some excavation or search for an artifact [Eblis stone?]). So, how did the Nine know where to look for it? And why did they? It also has a score to settle with Shiver, though why I cannot possibly know... I'm hoping one of you might. ;)
Did the fabled armor of invincibility once belong to the Head? I always thought that when Balor defeated it, he donned the armor and buried the head itself where he thought no one would ever find it. The Head, not knowing this, sent
Alric to look for it out in the desert (where, I'm assuming, he was killed). Anyway, yeah.
