Do disciples always remain weaker and less powerful than their teachers? That's a very degenerative view of history and academia...
My suggestion is that Kana Poor was a Dara Happan priestly type from Yuthuppa, who studied with the foreign magus Irrippi Ontor *before* Yanafal's father was offed by the Shah (i.e. pre-1220 ST). Later on, when=
the Lunars liberated Dara Happa (1235 ST), Kana Poor rejoined his former
master. While Irrippi Ontor had been teaching the Red Goddess and learnin=
g
all that could be learned about her Lunar Mysteries, Kana Poor had
continued to study the ancient Buserian (etc.) lore of Yuthuppa, informed=
by an understanding of the methods his quondam mentor was separately and simultaneously employing in Torang.
I am not proposing that Kana Poor was, at all times, merely a disciple of=
Irrippi Ontor; this would be to freeze time at an early stage in his
career. I'm saying that KP *began* as a student of IO. It's obvious to an=
y
reader that he wielded the Lunar powers of Light far more efficaciously
that IO or YT at the Battle of Four Arrows of Light.
> I would suggest that his role was to stop time or something similar...
My hatred of time-travelling or temporal anomaly heroquests remains unabated, and causes me to ignore this frivolity.

Do you ask this question about every figure in Lunar History, Stephen?

Why need he have been there at the start? Saint Paul never met Christ in the flesh, after all...
