: That brings up an interesting point. Maybe the reason the
: Fallen always have a brief discussion before they
: clash *is* to power each other down; otherwise their
: fights would be twice as vicious. On the other hand,
: Alric never addresses Soulblighter as
: "Damas," although he well knows that that's
: Soulblighter's real name.
: I don't think the names we hear are their *true* names;
: they're simply their "public" names from
: before they were taken by the Dark. If
: "Damas" and "Myrdred" were the
: true names of Soulblighter and the Deceiver, then back
: when they were on the side of good they'd have been
: completely vulnerable, since everyone called them by
: those names. So I don't think we know anyone's true
: name.
: I mentioned this a while ago, but no one had anything to
: say about it, so I'll try again. (I don't have
: anything new to add either, I'm afraid.) All of the
: Nine that we see seem to have either masks, helmets,
: or painted faces. Do you think this is the good-guy
: version of the "true name"; the "true
: face?" Maybe they lose a portion of their power
: if people see what they really look like, while the
: Fallen Avatara lose their power if people learn their
: real name.
: Or maybe the Fallen Avatara are also required to alter
: their looks, so they either wear a helmet like Balor
: and the Watcher or take more drastic measures and
: destroy part of their face like Soublighter, Shiver
: and The Deceiver.

Shiver destroyed part of her face? Her face seems intact and uncovered in the two pictures we have of her.
