: Suppose for a moment that The Head is Moagim. The facts
: supporting this are that every leveler seems to be
: killed by cutting off their head (Myth2 Epilogue) and
: that the heads are (probably) imprisoned somewhere -
: Balor's head was imprisoned in the Great Devoid,
: Moagim (Tireces)'s head perhaps was "buried under
: 50 tons of sand and rock" to hold it forever.
Problem: One Leveller was beheaded and burnt at the stake, yes. Another was drawn and quartered, which usually doesn't remove one's head but just tears off an arm and a leg and rips the torso in half, with one arm going with one horse, a leg going with another, an arm and the upper torso going this the third, and a leg and lower torso going with the fourth. Yet another Leveller was destroyed by fire and buried under the Mountains of Kor. Only Balor and the Leveller of the Second Era were beheaded.
: Now, The Head also sent the Nine to recover the Total
: Codex, a successful mission, sends them to
: Silvermines, and later opposed the Nine and starts a
: civil war in Madrigal before once again disappearing.
: The Deciever used to be Myrdred, an Avatar of Connacht's.
: It is likely that he, too, fought against Moagim.
No! Myrdred was an avatara of the Wolf Age, 500 years after Connacht reigned. He was not one of his avatara.
: Consider these facts: 1. The Deciever occupied the
: Barrier and the remains of Muirthemne when the Head
: was stolen
: 2. The Deciever was there when Alric was sent to reocver
: the magic suit of armor
: 3. The Total Codex, sought by The Watcher (Big D's arch
: enemy), is taken by the Legion at the bidding of The
: Head
: 4. The Watcher's arm is taken from Silvermines at the
: bidding of The Head.
: 5. The Head starts a civil war in Madrigal while The
: Deciever is attacking that very city.
: The Deciever's fate seems to be inextricably linked with
: The Head. This is getting quite lenghty, and I don't
: really have any theories to put forth about their
: connection - perhaps someone else does?
I agree that there does seem to be some connection there, though what it is is beyond me. However, there is one other connection for you Moagim=Head thoery.
In Tales From Myth The Fallen Lords, when Rabican is fighting Shiver, the thoughts going through his head are:
Moagim
vanity
VANITY
whisper weakness
What's Moagim doing in there? Did the Head tell Rabican about Shiver's vanity? Or is Shiver somehow related to Moagim? Hrm...
