: According to me, check the TFL Wight flavor text! Look,
: "unlife" is there... Unlife. It is an
: in-game term, similar to undeath in that memory can
: still be present. I never invented the term, Myth did.
Well then. Bahl'al, father of Thrall, went looking for the Dream of Unlife. Wights are described as "unliving," "undead," "dead" and "a corpse given new life."
That pretty much settles it, doesn't it? "Unlife" and "Undeath" mean exactly the same thing in Myth. "Unlife" is the term commonly used by the more learned and poetic Mythworlders..."undead" is used by the instructional part of the manual and by the narrator when he's bitching about how cold it is.
So everybody's wrong. :-) We can use "unliving" or "undead" to describe all them d00ds. If we want to distinguish between sentient and non-sentient undead, or at least establish some sort of IQ continuum, we should use different terminology.
And the Dream of Unlife must either be the only way of creating undead/unliving being, or an exceptionally powerful way...no longer any reason to think of it as a method of creating sentient undead as opposed to nonsentient ones.
