: In the introduction to the Myth II manual, Soulblighter
: and some unnamed ancient beings prepare to destroy an
: unsuspecting village. Now I always assumed that his
: servant creatures, "nameless for a thousand
: years," were the Myrkridia. But in the game, the
: Myrkridia aren't resurrected until long after open war
: has broken out between Soulblighter and the Province.
: What gives? I can think of three possible
: explanations: 1. Bungie made a mistake. No
: self-respecting Inmate would accept this explanation.
: 2. The creatures are something other than Myrkridia,
: perhaps Mahir,
: 3. A small population of Myrkridia survived the rest of
: their race, barely sustaining their existence by
: eating spiders and lichens in some corner of the Tain.
: Just before Myth II, Soulblighter located the myrk
: colony in one of the Tain shards he still possessed.
: From them he learned of the existence of the Summoner,
: and with their help was able to locate the man without
: the Total Codex. We never saw these myrks in the game
: because Soulblighter considered them far too valuable
: to waste on the relatively minor engagements of the
: first few levels.
: Guess which explanation I like?
I can almost see William of Ockham turn in his grave...
