Ghols, The Living, and hey look a fun theory!

Okay, the leveller is a horrific killing machine. His big things are the Undead and horrible monstrosities. He has a tendancy to nearly scour the world clean, expecially for humans, fir'bolg and dwarves.... though the quote about the world spinning like a coin, belonging to either the living or the dead seems to imply that he would kill all the living, or at least attempt to...

Dark side living units I can think of right now because its 8:31am and I haven't gone to bed yet...

Brigands

Well, they're asking for it. They're going to get betrayed and killed and zombified like everyone else... The ones in TFL were hypnotized by the Deceiver, and the ones in myth II... Soulblighter's not a real Leveller anyway...

Myrkridia

Well, Myrkridia were horrible monsterous beasts... They didn't really willingly alliance as they were just trained and aimed at people...

Fetch

The fetch were desperate to get back to their world... Balor said he could do it.

Maul

The maul were "...tempted by Soulblighter's promises of easy victory over an unprepared foe... "

and I dont think Soulblighter was really a leveller anyway, he just wanted to be like his best buddy.

Trow

They seem to be sorta indestructable... The first time they were working with the leveller, they were in their Iron Age (and really liked crushing those lesser races no less) and I dont think the leveller could have really done anything. The Trow being the avatars of Nyx and all that could have stopped anything the Leveller threw at them during the height of their power. The second time they owed balor. After that, nothing... Prefered not to get involved, sort of saying that the Trow are not part of this, maybe only Wyrd's creatures get killed by the Leveller?

Ghol

Heres where the fun begins.

Some "facts" from the above if no one bothered to read that...

-The levellers I am counting are Moagim (Im assuming his army is similar to Moagim Reborn's in TWA) Mjarin is a different kind of Leveller. I call him a 'political Leveller' since he's really an odd one out, im leaving him out of this.

-The leveller tends to 'totally dominate' whatever races are under their control... No wiggle room.

-The Dark age brings about a time when the world is controlled by either the living or the dead.

-The Leveller Seems to only to go after Lesser creations, the newer lifes, as they never seem to attack the trow (unless they join the army of the lesser creations)

-Ghols are lesser races, yet they've joined the Leveller's army so many times... and they aren't dead yet?

Here's the tough one, they are protrayed as being part of the forces of the Dark in every game. Why? Why do they side with the Leveller? To me they seem to be a lesser race, they definatly don't SEEM to be an older race, so why are they not being exterminated by the leveller. True Levellers (Well so far... Balor and maybe Moagim) seem to be against having anything thats not totally controlled as a race in their little armies. No Brigands or Mauls and that stuff. I don't know about the trow's Wind age involvement, why they were doing it...

They tend to keep it in the
"They swore an oath to fight for me they'd never break" Myrmidons,
"I have something over them" Fetch
"Hypnotized" Dark living units, or
"Undead brainless Zombie"

Then there are the ghols, who
A) It would be dumb of them to fight on a side that would destroy them, and they would have been you know... Destroyed... Three times at least. So they must NOT be lesser wyrd created races at all... They must have been either created by Nyx or the 'Old Gods'. The only support I can give this besides the "they aren't dead" is the "Or we will fell your people like a pine forest." quote. Perhaps they are one of those older races, that like the oghre the Trow didn't destroy, but enslaved, or at least kept them over in their little area of the world...

Perhaps they are a young race, that the Leveller keeps in line with the Trow (and since the ghols are too scared to resist, its slavery, thus 'totally controlled'. The Leveller kills them off like he does to all the young races, by throwing them all AT the other young races. In the time of the campaign of myth you sure kill a LOT of ghols. They don't seem to be careful with them or anything. In the times between games/ levellers the Ghols are fast enough breeders to repopulate....

they joined Soulblighter because they really REALLY hate the dwarves, so he used that to get them to join.... but he wasn't a leveller anyway...
