: No more than it took an avatara (avatarA<--) to take
: out the Watcher. Granted Alric was involved, but only
: at a distance. Which could be said of every event
: during the Great War.
Avatar or avatara. Granted Avatara is the Mythically correct, however I prefer to clearly distinguish between plural and singular in debates, so I use avatar for one avatara.
But we didn't have the enchanted arrows, tipped with the bone of the Watcher and a Powerful Bow Artifact to fight the Deciever.
: By who? I won't dispute the likelihood of their demise,
: just the idea that this is written in stone. Or
: written at all, for that matter. Does it actually say
: they were killed?
By The Deciever and The watcher. Yes I agree what the Writer says is not total canon. But what the Glossary says is it states that Maueldun was severly injured, and we can assume that this took him out of action and he probably died of those.
: Is this a drawn conclusion or written specifically? I
: don't recall it.
See olorins reply.
: No avatara except Alric are mentioned after a certain
: point (chapter 18?). So by then all the info the guys
: in the east receive is through Alric. There's no
: reason to believe he'd lie, but then, he's not
: infallible. Remember, he believed the head when he got
: sent into the death trap at the Barrier. :)
The information of rabican's defeat came before their link to the west was severed, thus information would have not only come from Messengers but reassignend survivors.
: I'm glad you like "surmise". Did you need to
: look it up? :/
No, its a pretty often used word.
: The journal writer was not close to the
: big guys. Otherwise he would have spoken to them, not
: been spoken to. He's simply in close proximity to a
: few of them because he is one of few veterans left in
: a war that has clearly eliminated most of the fighting
: forces of the west. If Alric and the narrator were the
: only two men left alive after Balor was killed, one
: could *surmise* that Alric would have something to say
: to him.
Problem being that its clear that the Journal writer was a casualty since his account stops after the final level.
