Well we can't really use Myth 3 or GURPS for this argument, simply enough because we consider them 3rd party addons or theories, but not all of us want to use either them.
And somebody said The Watcher and Soulblighter both wanted to look for the Total Codex to find The Summoner..... how would they know The summoner would be born in the future? And I doubt they would work together. We know that the Fallen Lords would fight against each other at times.... but we don't know much about Soulblighter in TFL as we do in Myth 2. So we can't say they worked together.
About Shiver... she never died in the first place in TFL.... Soulblighter did make her corporeal once again. And The Deciever didn't die either he was close to death and unable to free himself from a half-death state. The Watcher did die, and we don't know much about the other 2 Fallen Lords.
I believe that the Soulblighter being healed to weaken him is not true. Yes I see his health go down to 0... meaning he dies and his death proj. group is his crows, but I think that was more of a shortcut or easter egg... I do not believe he got immune to it on Myth 2. The healing won't know if its victum is undead or not... I think that Thrall and other undead have a certain magic that seems to seem like a wound (as if the magic hurts) for the root to heal... once the magic is gone then the body becomes better but is still dead and healing doesn't revive. Shades are different undead... they are undead but have a different magic in them than Thrall, Ghasts, Wights, Soulless, and other undead. Shades are rare as we know... they are the bodies of long past mages, sorcerers, Avatara, etc. Shades and talk unlike the other undead. I think the magic to make Shades is more costly then reanimating corpses. They use that costly power to use the knowledge of those sorcerers and power. They would not need the other corpses to have a mind to think, plan, use magic (which they don't know any), etc.
I do believe The Summoner resurrected the Myrkridia. The Watcher didn't know of The Summoner ... he would want the Codex because ... well if you want to rule the world wouldn't you want to know the future to prevent harm to yourself (like ambushes) or know the right path to be successful.
About Soulblighter fleeing ... well just because in that level you might have a few units in the story it might be more.... remember the GAME has limitations and if you have so many units all the time it won't be that fun all the time. The units you have in the GAME might represent more or the same in the STORY. Soulblighter seems to observe a lot to plan and strike on the right time. We see him on that level.. but he doesn't attack... we see him in forest Heart but he traps you and the rest of the Legion in The Tain on the right time.... but he also sent some of his army after you or so we think.... The Tain breaks and he flees.... He tries to attack you while you head to Balor... but he flees and doesnt go all force... we see him at The Great Devoid trying to stop the Legion from throwing Balor's head.... he fails and flees. Stays in the shadows for 60 years to plan and make allies. He seems to always play it safe to return another day to fight back.
And once more about the Tain, The Summoner, and Myrkridia.... somebody said the Myrks died in the Tain because of no food... I also think that, but what about the spiders in the Tain... their race is still alive... why? how? The Tain seems to have so many caves.. maybe there is a food source found in some caves... we know the spiders decend from them to attack us on some of the Tain levels... they are not really stuck on one level of the Tain... they might roam around by climbing the cave walls.
