That brings up a question I've been meaning to ask. Has
: anyone thought about how much influence individuals
: besides the heros and levelers have on their own fate?
: I mean why would a man like the Deceaver willingly
: join the cause of a Leveler? Loylety? With this case
: that seems unlikely. Power? Over what...blasted lands
: and hords of undead slaves? Again I dont think this is
: his style.
Someone actually had a theory about that, with Shiver's "Will you bow to anyone who claims the throne of the Cath Bruig? remark. Connacht was emperor of the Bruig. Other emperors took his place when he disappeared; but to Myrdred, who knows Balor is still Connacht, and is still alive, and thusly the rightfull emperor, perhaps he IS simply serving out of loyalty.
