In Response To: Myth III: The Contradiction (Pyro)

: And about the Deciever and the Trow...

: "The Deceiver claims to be held in high regard by
: the Trow as a being of “furor poeticus”. He has told
: us of their battles against the Myrkridia and believes
: he can win the Trow to our cause."

: Hmmm... does this mean Myrdred and the Trow were allies
: against the Myrkridia once? In Myth 3 the Trow don't
: fight against the Myrkridia.... maybe this means the
: Trow were not against the light during the Wind Age
: after all.

The first two Myth titles have shown us that the Trow respect people who can defeat them in battle despite being tiny, puny, fleshy creatures who can be easily stomped on. Myrdred's being instrumental in the Oghre rebellion, one of the most serious military threats the Trow have ever faced, would almost certainly be enough to win the respect of Nyx's chosen.

: Myth 3 Title Contradiction =======================
: The title is Myth III: The Wolf Age. .... hmm... but the
: main story takes place during the Wind Age, only at
: the end after you won the game does it speak about the
: Wolf Age.

If you go by the strictest interpreation of the ages, the ages change when the comet comes. Connaught was born under the sign of the comet. Therefore the game takes place in the Wolf Age, although it is likely that later historians would only have hailed it as such /after/ Connaught was victorious. Even if this were not the case, the title is reasonable, considering that the hero is Connaught, the Wolf.

: Mazzarin Contradiction =======================
: In Myth TFL we know that MAzzarin was killed by The
: Watcher and became a Shade for The Watcher, but in
: Myth 3 Mazzarin is a Shade but not under the command
: of The Watcher and doesn't want to know anything about
: him. This seems odd. I don't think Mazzarin could have
: made himself a Shade after dying or that The Watcher
: left his body behind instead of making him a Shade.

You're assuming a) that it's the same Mazzarin and b) that the Mazzarin we see in Myth3 is a regular shade. Mazzarin was arguably the most powerful archmage ever to grace the world of Myth, and it seems reasonable that he might have been able to fix himself a life-after-death in some capacity.

: Damas and Powerfull Artifacts Contradiction =============
: In Myth 3 it is said that Connacht commanded Damas to
: gather all the powerfull artifacts and hide them. Then
: why would Soulblighter have a hard time finding the
: Tain? And how do we know Damas was a Heron Guard
: Captain? In Myth it is said that 3 of the Fallen Lords
: were ancient evils and the other 3 were turned to the
: Dark by Balor. One of those ancient evils is said to
: be Soulblighter. Then why is Bahl'al (The Watcher) the
: only evil one who later becomes one of Balor's Fallen
: Lord? Soulblighter could have been evil during The
: Wind Age if he was an ancient evil.

You're assuming that Damas found the Tain before he became Soulblighter. As for the ancient evil stuff, baer in mind that he's only referred to as an ancient evil in the pre-release info. Which is stuff that /didn't/ make it into the final game.
