: According to the journal, Muirthemne fell 110 years
: before Myth II; that's fifty years before TFL.
Yeah, but according to the MythTFL opening cutscene, it was thirty years - seventeen for the West and thirteen for the East. Another place where the story is self-contradictory :P

: I don't believe this, by the way; I agree with you that

Ah, playing devil's advocate I see. Well, seeing as Ceiscoran is *immortal* he probably didn't die of old age or disease. And seeing as he's protected by the fiercest fighting force in the world, I doubt he'd fall in battle. And if he DID fall in battle, that fighting force, the Heron Guad would be a LOT more dishonoured than if he fell while they were away, right?!? It would mean they REALLY screwed up! It would mean they'd have to, like, KILL themselves or something, or at least take on a stiffer penance than becoming Jmen. Since they *didn't* become Jmen or anything more drastic at this point, he can't have died until they were at Bagrada, and then logically, Ceiscoran was the emperor that caused them to become Jmen, therefore he was the last one before Alric.
Besides, why would there be an emperor between Ceiscoran and Alric? We've got no evidence of one, and the burden of proof would be on those claiming that there could be one, but we have not one scrap of evidence to support it.
