: I was talking about "Durak". I'd never heard
: the name before. So I looked up the reference, and it
: sounds a lot more he's just another berserk:
: "Twelve Motion Jeweled Skull says he was last
: here sixty years ago, fighting alongside the likes of
: Durak and Turgeis with Burning Steel". There's
: nothing to suggest he's an avatara that I can see.
i know there's little to go on but I took into account that the name doesn;t apply much to any other unit and I'd take at least one Avatar to take out the deciever.
: Maeldun wasn't killed that I recall. Injured maybe, but
: not dead. And Rabican just isn't mentioned again. The
: last quote about other avatara by the narrator is:
: "Something like a civil war erupted back west,
: too, as thousands of our own men unexpectedly rose to
: defend The Head. Two of The Nine were killed, which
: makes them something like The Three now, if you also
: subtract Murgen and Cu Roi, who did not escape the
: destruction of the Tain, and the others who have died
: this year." Maeldun and Rabican aren't in the
: West so I'd assume they were the other two of
: "The Three".
Rabican and Mauldun had been already taken care of by then. I doubt either of them would survive a battle with either Deciever or bahl'al if their armies were defeated.
: Later you can *surmise* from Alric's claim that the west
: has been lost that Rabican at least is killed,
Surmise!!, note the word Rabican was encircled (thus trapped) and crushed (thus killed, I doubt he escaped the clutched of on of the most powerful mages of all time.) Secondly we here throughout the journal that the writer is in contact with the high up officers, he spoke to Murgen for example.
: but
: there's still nothing to support Maeldun buying the
: farm.
Except the fact that it states his army is defeated by the watcher, I would expect that had he still lived then he would have been continued to be mentioned, being such a major character.
It also takes away from the story that most of best Avatar were still alive and that there was a big army back home, It gived the, Don't worry lads, if we fail we can send over the big army back home to tack em out, effect. Which I doubt Bungie was aiming for.
: The And if The Black Company is any basis for Myth,
: then at least half of the guys the narrator
: thinks/hears are dead aren't actually gone. :)
I can't believe your using information, from another media to prove your theory, some people complain about Gurpds, other Myth III, but using other media, whether or not the game is based on it is stupid.
Since we here nothing more of them, and they are cleary defeated by far superior mages than they it is quite clear and easy to "surmise" that they were dead. Taking into account that the journal writer was close to the big guys it is acceptable to think that maybe if they don't appewra anymore then they_are_d.e.a.d.
