: Damas, by virtue of being Connacht's lieutenant in life,

: the characteristics of the other Fallen Lords,
: especially the Deceiver, it stands to reason that one
: of Connacht's "friends" would be his most
: trusted servant as the Leveller. Balor need not have

: regarding the Myrkridia; by that time, all the
: Myrkridia within the Tain were dead. And whether it
: was Balor's orders or Soulblighter's planning that
: found the Tain, it was used effectively nevertheless.
If Balor was so furious by the battle standard of the mykridia then why would he not be the same with the tain? The tain is the symbol of where the mykridia are, dead or alive. Balor obviously hated everything there is to do with mykridia and the tain is one of the largest symbols. This makes me believe that, as I said earlier, Soulblighter is not the type that likes following orders. He probably has some disagreements with Balor's plans, but does his plans without giving Balor any hint of his discontent. If Damas was one of Connachts friends and they both fought mykridia then it seems like slaping Connacht and Balor in the face when Soulblighter summoned mykridia. Why wouldn't Soulblighter have the same intense hatred? Again, Soulblighter seems like he is loyal when he has to, but treacherous when he can get away with it.
