: C- Why would him being an officer point to him coming
: from the Provence? Well think about it. "When the
: Armys of the Provence were broken at Covenent, they
: scattered throughout the North; taking their arms with
: them" and their combat exsperiance. A veteran who
: had faced rotting corps men and iron giants (yes I
: know they aren't iron) would make a better officer
: than some green land lord who joined up because of
: political reasons. He would also be more likely to
: survive for ten more years as well.

Personally, I got the impression that /everyone/ in TFL was experienced, pretty much. Mainly because anyone who wasn't experienced would be dead. As for people who joined up for political reasons- everyone above the age of 15 was being conscripted!

: D (alittle more far out, but I include it anyway)- He
: doesn't seem all that concerned about getting home,
: almost like it was already destroyed. Nor does he get
: too worked up about the fall of Madrical (although it
: could have been shock) and the imminant destruction of
: what was left of civilization. Kind of hard to do that
: after you've already seen your own citys go up in
: smoke, and had to fight the reanimated bodys of your
: neibors and friends don't you guys think? (By the way,
: this is one of the reasons the ending of Myth was so
: powerful in my opinion. The writer died, despite every
: thing he had survived and suffered through and not
: even his Journal would make it back to tell his
: story....:Sniff:)

Well, we do learn later that The Baron or one of his somewhat questionable retainers or associates later found it. I really like that ominous bit, something to the effect of "I cannot see what could possibly stand between us and the Great Devoid, only a few hundred metres away." If only he knew...
