: There's two possible interpretations to this: 1) The
: Deciever was lying. That's why he's called "The
: Deciever". It wouldn't exactly have done the
: men's morale much good if he'd said something like
: "Sure, the Trow probably hate my guts because I
: triggered a major rebellion which was probably the
: single largest step towards the collapse of their
: empire, but I think they'll respect me for it."
: 2) In the "With Friends Like These" blurb, the
: Big D talks of "Their battles against the
: Myrkrydia". I believe that "their"
: means the Trow's, NOT the Trow and the Deciever's. And
: this makes sense: the Trow are only seen actually
: aiding Moagim's forces very late in the war (bearing
: in mind that the war has been going on for nearly a
: millenium), and are never seen fighting alongside the
: Myrkrydia.
I doubt The Deciever would lie to them if it seems he is in charge of that group of men. The journal writer complains about The Deciever as if the men had no choice to leave... Of course maybe it was an order by the Emperor Alric, but I doubt The Deciever would lie if those men are going to follow him anyway. And I doubt The Deciever would try to convice the Trow if they have a reason to hate his guts like the Oghre Rebellion... the Trow would not be his ally or maybe not let him live either. So I do think that at sometime The Deceiver and the Trow were allies against the Myrkridia... You might think why only the Deceiver and the Trow well maybe the Warlocks were following The Deceiver... or maybe when he was an Avatara and was on the Light side.
: And that's a contradiction how? Most people have reasons
: for giving certain names to ages, and the fact that we
: aren't told this reasoning in the first two Myth
: titles doesn't make it any less valid.
: CONNAUGHT: "HMM, now that Moagim's gone, we'll need
: a new name for the age, something upbeat, something to
: take pride in... how about the Wolf Age?"
: IMPERIAL ADVISOR: "The Wolf Age, sire? But nobody
: likes wolves! Now, the Fruitbat Age, that sounds much
: more positive..."
Hmmm... this is what I said exactly:
"Again, if you consider Myth 3, but ONLY Myth 3 called Connacht the Wolf to explain the name for the "Wolf Age." Most of the story takes place during the Wind Age. Just the ending it speaks of the Wolf Age. He was not born during the Wolf Age.... then he would not have fought during the Wind Age."
Tell me when did I say it was a CONTRADICTION! I was mearly stating that Myth 3 is the only Myth that explains the name of the "Wolf Age." Not that it is wrong or contradicts anything.
