: That doesn't make any sense to me.
Well, my source is the Myth II game's actual epilogue. Copied below so you can see I am basing my statement from the game's owns words.
"Soulblighter was not The Leveler. He may have been if he had survived into the next millennium – but, in his attempt to force the cycle, he perished and almost certainly will suffer at the hands of those who set it in motion. It is even conceivable that because of his actions the cycle has been broken, but we cannot be sure — at least not for another nine hundred and forty years."
: You seem to be forgetting that the Leveller who ushers in
: a Dark age always dies before everything goes dark, at
: least in the examples we know of. It happened to
: Moagim after he summoned the Myrkridia, and then to
: Balor after he let loose the Fallen Lords, one of whom
: fell along with him during the Great War, two others
: who died after causing more war and horror 60 years
: later, and three who are still at large and likely to
: plunge the world into darkness completely until the
: next age.
Again, I was using the game's epilogue:
"When I stated that Balor was vanquished but sixty years ago, Nine Skull nodded thoughtfully."
