In out of the Barrier, the following conversation occured between Alric and Sinis:
Alric: "Ah, Sinis! I thought you died when Mazzarin collapsed the Shrine of Nyx upon you."
Sinis: "Indeed Alric, then I'll wager that you thought you'd seen the last of me!"
Alric: "I have seen the last of you."
This seems to suggest that Alric was around in the time of Mazzarin, the Sword Age. I thought that that age was 1000 years before Myth:TFL. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems as if Alric had been around for a looooong time. I would say that maybe he was a Heron Guard before becoming an archmage (hence immortality), except that Heron Guards are forbidden to dabble in magic outside of the healing arts (where did I hear that? I don't know. I heard it somewhere...). Anyway, what is going on here? Either Alric has been around for a long-ass time or I'm just going crazy.
Sorry for so many posts in the past few days. I'm just now becoming interested in Myth's backstory.
