I think Grey was right 'bout that the fallen lords were entombed for many years. I had read "somewere" ;-) that Myth has many refernces to Glen Cooks' Black Company series. In BC (a.k.a Black Company) the "Taken" (sorceror generals similiar to the "Fallen" in Myth) were entombed for many centuries with the Lady (if someone don't knows he read more in "relics" section) and were awoken by a sorceror called Bomanz.
Knight o' Death.
P.S. About ressurections. 'Tis very hard to kill the "taken" for they're very vital.I think the "fallen" were PERSUMED dead till they returned again after many years.
P.P.S. Have you forgot? Soulblighter ressurected Shiver with Tramist's Mirror, a VERY POWERFUL artifact which returned Shiver to her former self image (a.k.a. Ravanna) only in very aged form "a grotesque crone".
P.P.S. How Ravanna actually became Shiver? We know that Myrdred became "fallen" for his treachery, Damas because of some dark rituals, Bah'lal was evil from the beginning, Connacht's the Leveller. So what with Shiver?
