Update, and Shiver stuff

I got a mail from an old Myther friend Santiago, who sent in some evidence about Shiver. He also asked me to change his email link on the level-names Relics page. While I was there a made a couple changes to reflect new knowledge and such.
Anyway, he writes...
"Shiver is almost definitely the Voiceless One. Several
pieces of evidence support this. Examining the tags in Myth II reveals that mana must have been added after part of the development process was already underway. Evidence such as the presence of an ammo icon for Myrkridian Giants suggest this, as do the presence of three artifacts intended to supply Shiver with dreams. They're not actual artifacts, in that they have no sequences and are not meant to be picked up, but rather granted and taken away by scripts. Although
Shiver's attacks in the final version are the Whisper Dream, the Ripple Dream, and the Defense Spell, the artifacts grant the Whisper Dream, the Scream Dream, and the Silent Dream, the latter two which do not exist in the tagset. However, these three names all deal with voices or the lack thereof, making for a strong connection to the name the Voiceless One.
"Additionally, GURPS Myth, which I consider only pseudo-canon in that it has several outright errors and contradicts the games in places, lists the six Fallen Lords as Soulblighter, the Deceiver, the Watcher, Shiver, the Lurker, and the Voiceless One, though it goes on to say that the Voiceless One's true name is Ravanna (Shiver's true name in Myth II), and may possibly be Shiver, with the sixth Fallen
Lord being unknown. As to the Lurker, who has not been mentioned in prior sources, she gets only a paragraph, though her gender is given, making it unlikely that she's the Faceless Man, though facelessness is more sensible a trait for one known as the Lurker than bonesplitting would be."
Thoughts?
