: I would assume, since the Legion discovers the journal in
: the Baron's keep. Remember?
: Very good point, it'd sure put a new slant on the whole
: Alric angle. Who knows, maybe if and when MJ releases
: Myth IV, which they did elude to, they'll explore
: Alric further.
: Not doubting you, but where'd you get that?
From "Through the Ermine":
The King has decided to fight fire with fire. He seeks Myrdred, an avatara of the Wolf Age whom Balor renamed "The Deceiver" after bending him to his will. Although The Deceiver fought alongside Balor during the last war, he held no great love for the rest of The Fallen, nearly being killed by The Watcher in a legendary battle at Seven Gates.
: Either way,
: he may have been bent to his will, but did retain some
: sentience. We can be sure of that, if of course, he
: was Alric's informant through the Head.
Alric never spoke to The Head after he left for the Eastern War he planned, before getting captured by The Deceiver. He didn't need The Head after talking to Dec.
: That works. I kinda liked my angle, mostly because it
: makes old Myrdred out to be a big good guy. Each to
: his own though...
: Glad you agree. :)
: Damn it Forrest! Just tell us who the Head is!
: Yeah, but old Balor had a helmet, but I suppose he
: would've taken it off for intimidation purposes.
I don't think he has it yet. That is supposedly the same suit of armor that Alric was sent by The Head to search for in the Eastern Desert. It's possible Balor had it
but I doubt he had it until later.
: Gets rid of those annoying Spirit theories.
Hell yes! There is only one small instance where true reincarnation *may* have occurred. This is with Moagim Reborn. We don't know for sure if Moagim's, Tireces', spirit actually is the same as that of Moagim Reborn or it merely being a threatening title (certainly threatening to hear the name of the Myrkridia-bringer, for sure).
: Actually, that is a very cool point. Maybe Myrdred fell
: out with Connacht, We know that Connacht aka Balor is
: evil, but that he maintains something of his former
: life (he still loathes the Myrkridia for example). So
: maybe this falling out was the cause for Balor
: enslaving Myrdred, as a punishment. Maybe without
: Myrdred standing up for the Trow, Balor would've left
: him be? Just an opinion. He is evil, so maybe he
: doesn't care about former friends. We all know Damas
: didn't need much convicing, hell, he didn't even need
: Balor.
: Yeah, but Binding is a lot different than decieving.
Not really. He forces the people to deceive their allies and themselves, forcing deceit upon them, making them deceive
there isn't any other word for this than an ulterior connotation of "deceiver".
: Besides, he may also have had a honeyed tongue...
Sure.
: Yeah, just played some levels. You're right.
: Whoot! My first theory, however closely based on your
: own, and it isn't picked to pieces!
Really, your first? Heh, the picking apart of an Asylumite's theory by another Asylumite is the greatest show of honor! :-)
