Myth III PR storyline info

You can find it, and a link to the whole thing, at Rampancy.net. The most interesting sentence: "The game will focus on the exploits of Connacht, the first emperor of human lands, who saved mankind from the vile Myrkridia and Trow races."

1) Connacht--the first emperor? Clovis, of course, was the first known emperor of the Cath Bruig. If the PR's statement isn't simply an error, it must mean "the first emperor of *all* Human Lands," from the Northlands to the Province to the Cath Bruig to Gower. This is true as far as we know; Gower didn't join the Cath Bruig until Connacht became emperor, and it broke away shortly after he disappeared. The statement would perhaps also imply that Berserks were more strongly under the yoke of the Cath Bruig; they didn't just fight for the Emprire back then, they were actually ruled by it.

2) Both in this statement and in the earlier Myth III info, the Trow are described as an active and evil threat. But we know from other sources that, following their battle with the Oghres, they threw away their weapons, withdrew to their core lands and sat around in self-loathing for a few years. And that Connacht, somewhat unscrupulously, chose this moment to attack them. Is Myth III going to justify Connacht's behavior more, by emphasizing that the Trow *would* have recovered and returned to oppressing mankind? Admittedly, after a thousand years underground they opted to try to rebuild their empire when Balor let them out. But that seems to have been largely at his prompting.
