: If Shiver were the most powerful of the Fallen, she would
: hardly be expendable.
I know it was written in GURPS that Shiver was probably the most powerful sorcerer during the Great War, but I find that extremely hard to believe. Rabican killed her in three days (yes, I know, with the help of the Head) but the Watcher obliterated Rabican...
"As if the mountain's fury were an ill omen, Rabican was encircled and crushed by the Watcher, who attacked by surprise from the west.
The survivors of this battle who have reached us speak of ribbons of fire tearing flesh from bone, and thick clouds of poison which rotted whole formations of men to pieces in moments. Our wizards were powerless to stop the carnage."
Powerless? If anything, it sounds as if the Watcher is the most powerful sorcerer, besides the obvious quote of "second or third most powerful sorcerer in living memory". I've always had the impression that Shiver is weak in comparison to the others and is the most expendable.
