: Yeah, I think this is what was originally supposed to
: happen. It seems like TFL was originally much closer
: to the Black Company, with most Dark sorcerers
: starting out pretty much good, and then being turned
: evil or being killed and resurrected evil. The Watcher
: killed Mazzarin, then resurrected and controlled him
: as a Shade; Mazzarin in turn killed the (probably)
: good Avatara Sinis, who was then Shadified.

Awesome, finally a generally accepted theory, and for good reason too. Alric must have been present when the Shade form of Mazzarin (which was forced upon him after his defeat) collapsed the Shrine onto the living Sinis...
BUT I think Sinis was a Dark avatar when that happened, perhaps he did not want to submit to Shadehood, so Mazzarin figured "then I must kill him so his body can be shadified since he won't agree personally." Why do I think this?
I believe Sinis was Dark anyway but did not agree to Shadehood for some unknown reason because: the way Alric talked to him. "I thought I'd seen the last of you" doesn't sound like something you would say to a former fellow Light Avatar, right?
Whether Sinis was originally Light or Dark doesn't really matter much now that we agree how Alric was present during that event (because it was the Shade Mazzarin, who DID exist in Alric's time, not the real, living Mazz). But reply with your ideas anyway, I'd like to hear them.

PS who else agrees that the Dream of Unlife is the source of undead, and not 'normal necromantic spells'?
