I've been trying to catch up with the latest in theories on Levellers, Heroes, West vs. East etc., after several months of absence from reading the Asylum. (I used to be "Wasp" ... made a few posts a while back) I've been reading the really interesting new "Delusions" article about the Cycle, but had a couple of questions about some of the facts it uses. I don't have GURPS Myth, so I'm not sure which parts are assumptions and which are from published sources.
First, are we sure that Moagim came from the East in the Third Age?
Second, are we sure that Connacht came from the East in the Fourth Age?
The article also makes the assumption that the Comet always follows the Dark... based on the knowledge that in the Fifth Age it comes from the East (following Balor), and in the Fourth Age, according to GURPS Myth, it comes from the West (assuming Connacht came from the East, following the Leveller again). Couldn't one draw the alternate assumption that the comet comes from whichever direction is going to lose?
An additional statement/question... it seems that GURPS Myth is now accepted as canon by most people? I've heard that GURPS Myth claims The Deceiver is still alive. How is this claim reconciled with the fact that he was seen to be blown apart in Myth II?
