The Books of Binding are the most interesting considering they are pretty much the Red and Blue Books of Myst.
Logistically that would normally suggest that the Mad Witch is the Sirus of Archivist Roh-Senara’s apprentices but…
The Books of Binding entries have Archivist Roh-Suir claim his mentor Archivist Roh-Senara told him not to touch the last page of the books yet in https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Book_of_Binding:_The_Mad_Witch it’s made clear he was not aware of the Books having all their pages removed by a fellow scholar and discovering this makes him unwilling to complete the books…
Almost as if the Books did not have prisoners until after they were lost… Roh-Suir did say that fellow Scholars were studying the Books but why would the Books have all their pages torn out if the Scholars accidentally got stuck in them while studying them?
Naturally they had all the pages to their prisons ripped out because they burned all the Portal Books in Roh-Senara’s Library!
Furthermore the fact that there are clearly prisoners shrieking out to him from the Books makes Roh-Suir more unwilling to complete them despite apparently having an interest in completing them before(something we know Yeesha never had).
The implications seem to suggest that he may infact be the Sirus of this story… Roh-Suir… Sirus… the resemblance between the names’ pronunciation is scary…
In the Myst Franchise it is noted that Sirus intended to use Achenar to test the Memory Chamber they created yet Achenar went and ran. Yeesha was not born yet so obviously she could not be used in the first test… In WoW it could easily be different…
If the Mad Witch is infact the Yeesha of the story then she was used by Roh-Suir to test the Books first then the Achenar of WoW used the other more interesting book to his mind getting both trapped.
Archivist Roh-Senara naturally would be absent at the time due to Roh-Suir secretly burning the library of portal books forcing her(upon finding her library burned mysteriously) to take the other books to places of protection and upon returning discover that two of her apprentices used the Trap Books(with evidence being that they now have the last pages in them) proving they were responsible for the burning.
Archivist Roh-Senara would of course take the Books to the caves and tear out all the pages to keep them from escaping. Little would she realize that Roh-Suir planned everything!
Roh-Suir sought forbidden knowledge and found it at the cost of his rivals… and became the new Archivist…all because he and WoW’s version of Achenar and Yeesha were apprentices not descendants of the Atrus of the story.
