: That said, we should remember that the Myth II manual has : the comet "heralding Balor's
: arrival"--apparently even before he torched
: Muirthemne--even though the TFL narrator doesn't
: comment on it until Balor's about to be defeated. To
: my mind that suggests that the comet moves through the
: sky; it became visible to the East when Balor started
: rampaging there, and over the space of fifty years or
: so drifted to the West to be present when Alric rose
: to prominence and finished Balor. Sort of like Wyrd's
: spotlight on the most intense action playing at the
: moment. :-)
: So conceivably Connacht could have been born under the
: comet when it was visible (or bright) only in Gower
: and farther east...as he moved west and prepared for a
: showdown with the Levellers, the comet gradually
: followed him.
That makes allot of sense. For a comet that only appears every 1000 years it'd be moving farily slowly.
