: The Trow don't particularly hate anybody or really hold
: grudges or anything, as far as we can tell. They're
: just cocky and think everybody is inferior to them,
: and thus why should they care how many humans die or
: whatnot?
: When someone manages to kick their asses, however, they
: reconsider this position. Connacht killed a ton of
: them, melted their cities and imprisoned the rest of
: them - and when he returned as Balor, they served him
: despite being able to see the Mantle of the Leveller
: upon him. (Apparently they don't like the Leveller,
: which makes me question their alliance with Moagim in
: M3). In Myth 2, you gain their help by beating some of
: them in battle. Myrdred, likewise, really kicked their
: asses - and so they respect him.
: The Trow respect power and will negotiate with those they
: consider to have power over them, if they think the
: cause is worthy or if they are indebted to those who
: request their aid. (They refused to help Soulblighter
: - "set iron to rest and choose you one from our
: number. ask his name and what he owes you" - but
: Balor spared their lives as Connacht, so...)
I see.
But worthy cause is up for debate.
I do not remember but I think that the JW (Journal Writer) says
"The Trow do not believe that our race is worth fighting for. However they will fight with us for one year if we beat them in at game of their devising..."
or something like that.
Still, yes the Trow respect power and apparently to a degree those who weild it.
But they will not help people because they are nice guys.
On the subject of the Deciever, do we get any idea (in Myth III or anything else) why he and the Watcher are such bitter enemies?
Rivalery for power is my guess.
