Well, my conviction isn't absolute, but it's pretty close.
: It's not cannon when the game obviously contradicts it
: (like the name "Ashfear"), but aside from
: that it should be considered cannon. Soulblighter can
: still be an ancient evil from what we know of his
: history; he was good a thousand years ago, and shortly
: thereafter turned to the Dark of his own accord.
: Myrdred, on the other hand, was an Avatara right up
: until Balor bound him late in the Wolf Age.
: And where do you get this absolute conviction that some
: characters were combined into others? The Deceiver is
: the Deceiver, Bahl'al is The Watcher, The Voiceless
: One is sorta-kinda Shiver, and we have no reason to
: think Soulblighter was combined with the Faceless Man
: other than some people believing that cutting your
: lips and nose off counts as having no face.
: Bonesplitter and The Faceless Man were never mentioned
: in-game, so Bonesplitter could have been changed to
: The Lurker without upsetting anything set in stone;
: and The Faceless Man is still a perfectly valid name
: for the sixth, unknown Fallen Lord.
Well, you've said it yourself, 'the Voiceless One is sorta-kinda Shiver'. Well, we know Shiver is Culwyeh, Ravenna, and possibly The Voiceless One. Of course, only one of these (The Voiceless One) is mentioned in the pre-release.
But we have to remember that all the Myth info we have comes from rumors and myths of the people of the world (hence the name, Myth). So, anything we read in the Myth book or hear from ingame has been passed down from other people. The first-hand knowledge we get from the journal writer and in-game information may seem to contradict other facts, while it really is clarifying it.
So in answer to the absolute conviction question, we can't be absolutely sure that SoulBlighter=Faceless man, but we must remember that SB was turned from the light, and has part of his face removed. Also, he is referred to as Soulblighter in the game, and so he could have both titles.
