TT Harry in Proven Guilty
jonas:
It's likely 5 slightly alternative versions of Merlin banded together and made it, linking the 5 timelines in one existence of intertwined history... this is likely why there are various versions of people who resemble Dresden in this one existence, each is actually from a slightly different existence that changed how they were personified by belief into different mythological figures, but share a quasi-fluid history. This could also be why the timeline fluctuations in the DF are wrote through Harry's end perspective, his memories are mushed together of different timelines... this also implies the Mandela effect is by and large responsible for our mythology such as it is from now 'memetic/dream' perspective.
raidem:
I favor the 5 different merlins cooperating theory.
jonas:
I mean imagine since the DF is a multiverse, when all the different versions went backward they gradually went up the flow of time itself until there were no other variant choice universes, they made DR in the beginning and it split off from there in a stable loop that produced five universes were merlin went back in time and made DR, and all 5 did so at the same time, coming in from different times.
groinkick:
What I want to know is what five time periods? What makes those points in time important? I mean was it one year apart for each one? 100 years? Specific dates based on star charts? Will we ever know? Maybe they align with each time a Starborn can be born? Halloween? Would one of the points actually have been in the future, and not just 5 points in the past?
If Merlin actually pulled this off on his own I have to believe he took up a seriously powerful Mantle... Say from Cronos who was supposed to be the god of time. If that's the case he may have been elevated to some distant place in the nevernever, and that's why nobody knows what happened to him. Or maybe he runs around with an eye patch and is known to be jolly.

The biggest issue I have with five Merlins in five universes at five times theory is that it makes Demonreach five times as vulnerable.
If it was created in one timeline, then it has to be unmade in that timeline. But if it was made in five, then a successful attack on any of the others would destroy it. That's five times as much trouble.
Five Merlins coming to make it in one timeline would at least avoid that.
