: Someone stated that Shiver and Dec. committed suicide
: since Shiv. didnt fight back. This was proved false
: since what really happend was that Shiver couldnt harm
: the Dec so was relying on Phelot and her myrks to kill
: him. However, Dec had converted Phelot who disposed of
: the myrks, allowing Dec to finish off Shiver. In some
: kind of emergency, death spell Shiver killed dec.
I would assume that Shiver knew about Myrdred's whither spell, and thus wouldn't want to fight him. But two people fighting one, while one was held immobile the other could kill the Deceiver. But when Phelot turned on Shiver's army, that surprised her enough to let Myrdred catch her in his whither dream, after which she was immobile. For whatever reason, Shiver explodes when she dies (why did Balor's head explode when it fell into the Devoid?). The Deceiver, not expecting this, get blasted in the process.
Or did he?
: Theories and Questions: On SHIVER, the Warlock Hero's
: text states that he attended the university of
: covenant, and gained position in the kings court.
: After much discussion, we didnt really come to a
: conclusive answer. However, my theory is that Myrdred
: was an Avatar of the duke or king or whatever of
: Covenant. Warlocks were the sholars and wisemen of
: Covenant. Myrdred took it upon himself to teech them
: the arts of magic and ancient lore. When the deciever
: turned to the dark, the warlocks, not wanting to
: attack thier home city of Covenant, but not wanting to
: fight the Deciever, fled high in the cloudspine and
: founded Scholomance, a sort of much like the bhuddist
: monastaries of the Himalayas, this place served as a
: university and fortress for the warlocks. During the
: entire great war, the stayed in Scholomance, safe from
: the wars of the world below. Finally, after the great
: war, they went about trying to rescue the Dec. from
: his icy prison.
Hrm. Well firstly, it's "the Scholomance", not just "Scholomance". Hey, another thing just occurred to me: "Scholo" seems awfull similar to "School"; and "Mance" is often a magical suffix (necromancer, pyromancer, etc). So, could "the Scholomance" be "the magic-school"? Maybe in Covenant?
: Balmung, you find it in the Catacombs with the Ibis
: Crown. Is it an artifact? Is it the sword you see the
: emperor holding in the pregame art? Did SB destroy it?
: Well, we came to the conclusion that to fight such a
: powerful entity such as SB, it drains the power from
: the sword, and so needs a while to recharge.
He breaks it. You can see it fall to pieces on the ground at the end of Twice Born.
: Are Soulblighter and Shiver lovers? It certainly would
: explain why SB brought Shiver back rather than someone
: more powerful like The Watcher or maybe The Faceless
: Man or another of the missing Follen Lords.
