Very interesting theory Sili, you should get it posted in the theories section. I love it, although I've got a few questions about it.
*If the Trow were somehow responsible for the creation or at least use of the Dream of Unlife, what happened to their spellcasters. As far as we know, the Trow have never been a magically adept race, and Myth III has nothing to disprove this. What would they use a Dream for?
*Oh wait, you said it wasn't necessarily the Trow. Unless the Trow had enslaved the Callieach at some point, I think they can be ruled out, why would they have been in a Trow city...unless, they created the Young Races to destroy Trow? I mean, it is far fetched, but if they created the races before their 'devoidism' maybe the Trow had no answers and so buried the Dream so it couldn't be used again.
Could the Dream have been used by a human? We know that humanity was born af the sinking of Si'Anwon, but maybe The Watcher isn't a human. Maybe he is as old, if not older, than the Trow, and simply stored it/lost it there during one of his earlier campaigns? If he did, it'd explain how he knew to look for it. Unless of course, the Trow told him during the alliance with Balor. I'm just spewing forth stuff here, most of it not backed up, but it's food for thought. Maybe. The very fact that The Watcher has been around for at least 1000 years would indicate that he isn't mortal, so maybe this is a result of him finding the Dream of Unlife. Someone mentioned that it made men ageless, so maybe The Watcher's immortalty comes from his discovery. He may have not been able to exploit it in war, or maybe decided it was a gift for him only. Dunno. :)
: I'm one of the few that prefers M2's plotline--same as
: with Marathon 2. I like happy games. :-)
I agree, Marathon 2 had a better storyline that Marathon, but I can't agree on Myth II. Bad story. :(
