: No reason to think of Wyrd as affiliated with the Light
: any more than the Dark Gods are affiliated with the
: Dark, though. Wyrd created almost everything, so far
: as we know, not just the good stuff. Light and Dark
: mages alike use his Dreams. And the only action he's
: said to take these days is to "smite" alien
: beings like Fetch if he sees them trespassing on his
: world. He definitely hasn't established himself as
: being a "good guy."
: (That's another gap in the Myth III story, btw...now that
: damn near every evil creature ever came from another
: dimension originally, why isn't Wyrd smacking 'em down
: right and left?)
Myth III seems to set the Gods as a more important role in Myth. The Dark Gods are given more mention, nyx is seen taking a more active role. And Wyrd is dead. It says so in the Manual. On the factor of using dreams put it this way, hypothetically, Your attacked by a vampire and there's a cross that you can grab, but your religion may strictly say that the use of Chistrian holy items is forbidden, do you use the cross? Hell yea (No pun intended).
: Sure, the humans worship Wyrd while the Ghôls worship the
: Dark Gods. But we've seen that the various races have
: different viewpoints on the natures and history of the
: gods they worship. I doubt the Ghôls would agree that
: Wyrd is the "good guy" and they worship the
: "bad guys."
: Human sacrifice is nasty, but plenty of cultures do that
: without us classifying the individual members of those
: cultures as evil. And remember, the Ghôls aren't
: human. :-) Humans are loathsome animals to them, just
: like Ghôls are loathsome animals to humans and
: Dwarves.
I agree.
Gods and their doings, like in Myth I and II, are still very vague in Myth III. Hopefully in future Myths Further light is shone on this.
