When did the shadow cabal go away? Did it actually go away or was it actually still around for awhile afterwards?

Can you tell us who was Marmaanth and Traybn?

And to add flames to the Eriwal discussion, it was my understanding that he didn't practice parry or any of the weapons, but the major reason was that he was the first Hero with Air Major forms instead of the mass of Offensive forms. This was much the same reason that Reimensinder recieved the 'Land Shark' because he was the first one to take the water major forms. Now they both had good RP for the time but I thought the fact that they took those paths, when you only had three forms, was the reason they got those forms.
