Here' s a quote from HoC

Cotillion: Traveller is here Ammanass

So here 's the question: Why does Cotillion referres to ST as Ammanass?

But people call Cotillion with his name, they don't do that with Shadowthrone

many people have different names/titles bestowed on them througout the series, i doubt we ever get them al explained (ignore any spelling mistakes :folken: )

Dancer: Cotillion : The Rope

Kellevend: Amanass: Shadowthrone

Anomander Rake: Knight of Darkness: Ipurake (or something similar): plus i think at least another 2 variations

Dassem Ultor: Dassembrae

im sure there are loads more but this should be enough to prove my point....

Dancer and Kellanved were their mortal names.

Cotillion and Ammanas are their names as ascendants.

The Rope and Shadowthrone are the titles they hold by virtue of their positions in High House Shadow.

Not sure why you ask this question now. We knew Ammanas by that name in the GotM prologue, before we had ever heard of Shadowthrone.

People have brought up the question of the significance of STs name, Ammanas before.

It's sort of an overstatement that Ammanas isn't used any longer. It actually pops up pretty often in conversations through out the books.

Yeah... I always thought that maybe Cotillion was dancer's real mortal name, actually.

Now that is interesting...The Shadow Dance is the square dance... Takes some of its grandness away somehow lol

I still call him Ammanas, out of sheer pig-headedness :)

Pleased about the post above :)

Ammanas is a far better name than Shadowthrone, Shadowthrone is a title and overblown.
