: Why do I think this? I don't rightly remember exactly
: where I'm dredging this up from, but I do believe that
: Muirthemne fell earlier in the war than we may think
: (And it was 13 years, not 50). The Ibis Crown is
: another link between Ceiscoran and Balor. Remember,
: the Bruig are immortal (at least the worthy ones).
According to the journal, Muirthemne fell 110 years before Myth II; that's fifty years before TFL.
: the timeline goes
: 1.) Ceiscoran makes copies of the crown
: 2.) Muirthemne is razed and Balor finds one of the false
: copies. The Emperor is killed (happens at the same
: time as the fall of the city, Redemption journal text
: and TFL Jman flavor)
: 3.) The Heron Guard become the journeymen as a show of
: penance.
: Now why would we throw in an extra emperor between the
: time that Ceiscoran makes the crowns and the time that
: Balor kills the emperor and finds one of the the false
: crowns that Ceiscoran made? It doesn't makes sense -
: how COULD the Emperor fall with his capital and empire
: still standing when he's got an army of Heron Guards
: protecting him? Answer: He doesn't - they go to
: Bagrada and BAM, THIS is where the Emperor Ceiscoran
: falls. And if this is when he falls, there are no
: emperors following him until Alric, because if there
: was another Emperor, the Jmen would become HG's again
: to fight for him.
I still don't see why there couldn't be an emperor between Ceiscoran and the fall of Muirthemne. Couldn't Ceiscoran die of old age? Or mumps? Or on the battlefield? Then the *next* emperor dies while the Heron Guards are away and they become Journeymen in penance.
I don't believe this, by the way; I agree with you that Ceiscoran was the last emperor. I just like arguing.
