: Here's my question, it sounds like an accusation but it's
: actually just a question: Where does it say that
: magics hold up the Myrmidons?
Why Myrmidons are undead: Undead are defined as being annihilated/disintigrated/killed by a Journeyman's heal. The "dark magics" within undead are dispelled by such a healing process. Only undead can have this happen to them. Myrms are also destroyed by a Journeyman's heal. Therefore, Myrmidons are undead.
There's classic Asylumite deductive reasoning :-).
Myrms are also referred to as undead in other instances.
And I don't think that undeath requires death in the strictest sense anymore anyway.
: Agreed. Except I don't think any of the six Fallen Lords
: are part of this, because I don't think they Died.
Their natural lives ended (except mb The Deceiver). We can see this from how healing them kills them. Since we know only undead can have this happen to them, The Fallen Lords (when Dark) are undead. Soulblighter will die without his rituals and his life will no longer be so entirely extended.
The Deceiver is interesting. Since all Dark archmages have figured out how to counter the healing affects by m2, he could very well be undead in m2, for all we know. Perhaps, though, he switched during his pupal stage of ice. Who knows
he's dead now anyway :-).
: Myrdred wasn't killed, he was Almost killed, but was
: preserved with his magics from death. Soulblighter is
: alive, and remains frozen in life by whatever process
: he used... he never experienced "death" and
: so isn't undead. And Shiver wasn't fully killed by
: Rabican, which is why the Tales says she lingered in
: defeat.
She's on her second or third lives by TFL and m2. She died in between those lives.
And don't bring Shiver into an already extremely complex situation :-).
