Question 11: Why change Talkar's name to Tamal?

Why Change Talkar's Name?

Tamal's Jouneys, the second book of the Shaytonian chronicles, was pretty much all Talkar so why bother to change his name? If it is just for the mystery, it's too confusing.

Tamal is not just Talkar. Tamal has been a body that has housed the souls of shaytonian royalty since the beginning of the shard's history.

Bodies destroyed just as they were entering a portal could be transported into Tamal as a sort of holding area until they recovered.

The link between Tamal's world and the Shard has been hinted at, but the full story not yet explained.

Maybe in the next book. :)
