: Most likely it works the same way as in the Earthsea
: books; you've got a public name and a secret, true
: name, that no one except you and very close friends
: and relatives know. "Damas" and
: "Myrdred" and all those aren't true
: names--they're just the public names of the Fallen
: from back when they were good. Chances are we've never
: been told the true name of anyone in Myth.
Finally! Someone said it! I was going to say this, but I can't keep up with the asylum as much as I used to, and someone said it before I did. BAHL'AL IS NOT THE TRUE NAME! RAVANNA IS NOT THE TRUE NAME! MYRDRED IS NOT THE TRUE NAME! True names are hidden like... like... Um. Well, they're hidden better than Clinton's sex scandals!
: I didn't interpret it as the Watcher stomping alone, but
: rather he and his enormous army of undead all marching
: together. That would certainly shake the ground.
That too, but I always thought he was so pissed that he was causing earthquakes and stuff like that. He certainly could do all that by himself, I mean, he is the watcher.
: Not all Fallen Lords can float--in fact, Shiver's the
: only one we've seen do it, IIRC. And she doesn't seem
: to be any better at it than Shades. Whatever force
: they use to repel the earth with must fall off quickly
: with distance, so that they only have strength enough
: to support themselves a foot or so above the ground.
: The S'pht seem to work the same way.
