I don't think "Master Blue Dark" is a translation of "Agith'maal". Matic Ridley doesn't speak of it as such, and if it were a translation into Achaean, wouldn't the three Tsol'teth Masters have a common element (besides the apostrophe) in their names, since they were all "Master <something> <somethings>"? --Slurpz 12:52, 10 May 2008 (GMT)
- I don't think Master was part of the name being referenced. I think Agith'maal means Blue Dark, Matic just called them all Master due to his previous status as their slave. --Corvax 15:43, 10 May 2008 (GMT)
- Consider this: "I was dulkurio-ma (Servant Who Thinks) to the Master Blue Dark, who called himself Agith'maal to humans." (from the chapter entitled "Matic Ridley" in the history of the Black Wave).
