Appologies to Mumbo Jumbo, but I'm beginning to hate Scott Campbell.
It's pronounced "KAHN-aht" in both games. Scott probably played UMS, where our horrible voice actors pronounced it "kuhn-AT".
As for the Fallen Lords, he's wrong. Myrdred, The Lurker, and The Faceless Man were all good until Balor turned them to the Dark; we don't even know if the latter two were alive in Connacht's time. Damas was good in Connacht's time, but soon turned to evil as he went campaigning in the east. The Watcher was evil long before Connacht was even alive, and if there are wights in M3, then Shiver was evil back then too, because SHE INVENTED THEM.
AND NO SCOTT, YOU CAN'T MAKE UP MORE CRAP LIKE YOU DID WITH THE SOULLESS!
"Also known as 'Messengers of Culwyeh'..."
- Wight flavor text, M2.
"The Ghols whisper of [Shiver's] long-ago exploits using the name Culwyeh . . . Among other exploits, she is credited with first fielding Wights."
- GURPS Myth, page 101, Shiver subheading, paragraph 1, sentances 2 and 3.
SHIVER FIRST FIELDED WIGHTS! NOT MOAGIM!
AUGH! I should have written this goddamn story...
