Right Ho!
This business with half the fallen lords being ancient evils and half turned from light, well bothers me on two counts in the current order.
1. Soulblighter. Commonly accepted as Damas, Connacht's right hand man, originally mortal by all accounts,( Why else mangle your maw?) How does he qualify as an ancient evil? he's only a thousand years old, relative peanuts in mythland. And a good guy in the begining to boot! Admittedly he turned himself to dark in search of immortality, but heck Balor would have done it anyway! He doesn't seem terribly posessed, more as if he hung out with the wrong crowd in the Untamed Lands.
2. Now Myrdred never seemed the light kind. I have always cassified Myrdred away from the dark and light, he and the Head seem to be the unknown veriables, playing within the greater design. Both used light and dark for their own hidden agendas. I would not call Myrdred light when he is desribed as "Deranged, arrogant, self-serving... none of these words can fully describe The Deceiver." Though he is not dark for Balor had to bend him to his will and even then he fought against the fallen. He is mentioned as an avatar in the wolf age. but his deep ties with the trow say otherwise. The trow were entombed early in the wolf age giving little chance to kindle freindship. True he would have had contact when Balor freed and enlisted them,but he seems to have a bond with the trow nation as a whole, not just the ones in his service.
(the rant)
I can't shake the feeling that he apart from the dark light cycle. Perhaps he and the Head are mediators of the cycle. They make sure every thing balances. The wyrd's referees as it were. They make sure the cycle runs smoothly. Only thing is Balor gets wind of their purpose, and knowing how the cycle works from the heron guards who have seen it happen a few times, wants all the aces in his hand. What does he do but bend Myrdred to his will and lop off the others head and bury it. Now Balor figures he won't be killed and will live thourgh the new dark age. The comet and Tharsis are consequently delayed until the head is found and it can choose a hero. As the head whips Alric into shape, Myrdred is causing as much trouble within the fallen lords as he can to slow their progress. Balor convinced the whole things in the bag starts to get sloppy, he allows Myrdred's infighting, lets Alric escape, and lets himself be blinded by rage and got the Fonx kicked out of himself. the big irony being that Balor only succeeds in creating another light age.
uuuh...you can ignore this rant if you wish it was just something kicking around in my head
