I understand that reasoning too. But that was only about a hundred or so people (the Journeymen) plus other mages and the Avatara. That's a very small number of people in a rather large community. Remember how the Journeyman was treated in the Prologue to TFL? They thought he was crazy, even though he was one of the most enlightened human of the waking world. Mages don't tend to talk about those kinds of things very often, and obviously don't tell commoners their plans any more than Alric did in the end of TFL. The people of the Mythworld are very ignorant generally, more worried about survival than academic knowledge. So, they're concept of history is reduced to rumors, mostly of the recent past, and only a great like Connacht could penetrate the murky darkness of time to be known by people of the Great War. Also, The Watcher is a very recent legend to the TFL Mythworlders, as he destroyed a great city (Tyr, I believe) at the start of the war…which was a while ago; nearly two decades. That's life expectancy for a tortured people. :-)
