: shivers name was brought up a while ago by someone and i
: just though of something, maybe bungie got their idea
: for her from the hindu godess Shiva, because many of
: their characteristics are the same. shiva, for all who
: don't know is the hindu goddess of destruction and
: pain. she is vain and killed people over it before,
: and what i find strange is the fact that she is also
: the godess of fertility which might go with shiver
: being the loveless child of unwed dawn.
: any ideas/comments

There are a few Shivas running around actually
there is a Shiva goddess of pain destruction and fertility and was vain. Pretty evil
another version of shiva reserfaced as JUST the goddess of Fertility
and then theirs the FF Shiva of ice that was made up for a game not a real religion...
then theres Shivetya from the Black Company, which we know Bungie used a few ideas from and incorporated into Myth.
of course interestingly enough Glenn Cooks borrowed from Hinduism to make his gods in The Black Company's later books, which leads us back to the beginning again.
or Shiver was just a cool name. :)
