: Yes, Ravanna is Shiver's true name, Shiver being a name
: given to Ravanna by Balor, after he brought her spirit
: (post-mortem) into "corporeal form" with a
: magic mirror. As for using her name to defeat her, I
: don't think so. All of the principal characters in TFL
: and SB use each other's real names, but they don't
: seem to melt or turn to stone when those names are
: said. They don't even flinch. :)
Shiver's spirit was made corporeal with Tramist's Mirror by Soulblighter, after TFL. We don't know much about how Shiver met Balor--especially if you don't accept GURPS. Nor do we know how Shiver picked her "code name." :-)
: I've read all the *sanctioned* literature there is, and I
: don't really understand why this Ravanna-Shiver
: controversy exists. If someone could synopsize it in a
: couple of sentences that would be great. Nothing from
: GURPs, please. :)
If not for GURPS, it wouldn't exist. Next! :-)
: We *know* relatively little about her, except that she
: had something to do with the sixth Fallen Lord's head
: getting chopped off and that she got her ass kicked by
: the Deceiver. The rest of this debate seems to have
: grown out of deduction, rather than cold, hard
: evidence.
Head getting chopped off? Whose head? Huh?
