: "These caves are so vast that we've been able to
: locate less than fifty of the four thousand men we
: suspect are imprisoned with us."

: This suggests that there are many small groups trapped
: within the Tain, coinciding with the opinion that
: there were many small groupd in Forest Heart when
: Soulblighter imprisoned the Legion. The Journal entry
: does not always coincide with the level following it
: as we see in the Myth 2 levels: The Ibis Crown and
: Redemption: "Though willing, I will not be going
: below to help find the crown. Instead I will be
: travelling south to Forest Heart to search for another
: relic: the Tain."

: "The events I am about to relate occurred just a few
: days after my departure to Forest Heart. In the
: interest of historical accuracy, I have inserted these
: pages in my journal to acknowledge this important
: moment in time."

: and in The Five Champions level of TFL: "I did not
: witness the events I am about to relate, but instead
: repeat here the stories of those who survived them. It
: wasn't until after the disaster at Forest Heart that
: the rest of us even heard about any of this."

: This is evidence to support my view that you cannot
: determine who the Journal Writer is from the units you
: have in the levels. I think he is someone like Ewan in
: the "Tales from TFL" comic. Although he does
: fight in the battles which could mean he is a warrior
: scribe.

Having never read the "Tales from TFL" comic that doesn't make as much sense to me as it might.

But remember "I am relived to not be one of those chosen to die", I don't think a scribe, even a warrior scribe would be treated like an ordinary grunt, so to speak.

Maybe, maybe not.
My theory is that he is a Warrior.
He does not have the knowledge or power of the journeyman or avatara.
He does not have the fearless attitude of a Berserk.
He writes up the Dwarves as a different race. "The Dwarves that remained with us after Forest Heart swear by its truth." Not "Those of (whatever the Dwarves call themselves) who did not go to liberate Myrgard (or something like that).

I'm sure there is good reason for him not being a Fir bolg, but I cann't think of any off the top of my head.
If I do I'll post it.
But does it really matter what unit he is?
waaaiit, a second.
That's all we talk about here
Arcane knowledge with in a computer game that doesn't really matter in real life.
If any of us manage to have a LIFE which I doubt.
Myself certainly included.
