: Though I don't buy this particular theory, I'd imagine
: Forrest's counterargument would be that no one knew
: Mazzarin and Moagim had anything to do with each
: other. Moagim Reborn was a name assigned by the people
: of the Mythworld, who looked at the latest Big Bad
: Dude and assumed that, if he was anyone's
: reincarnation, he was that of the last Big Bad Dude.
: Nor would Moagim Reborn have wished to reveal a link
: to Mazzarin, who had died fairly recently...that info
: might have given opponents an insight into his
: personality, powers or combat style.
Yes, that is what I would say if I were to support that position, thanks for saving me the time. But anyway, I don't really push the idea of Mazzarin being Moagim and Alric, etc... it was just a passing though. You will note that it is not on the Cycle or Principia articles here at MBO.
