: example: Myrmidon is a term meaning 'slave' or 'lackey'.

Where does it say this? Not in Myth, and in reality the Myrmidons were Achilles' race, definately not slaves or lackeys.

: It has a few other meanings, but that's the gist of
: it. Apparently MJ deicded to interperet the name
: myrmidon to mean the race of those who were enslaved.
: I'm slighty unsure, but I do not believe it states the
: name of said race anywhere in either of the Bungie
: myths.

Here's the Myrmidon flavour text from TFL:

"Desirous of power and immortality, the warrior race of the Myrmidons left their northern kin to join Balor and the Fallen Lords, and so they became known as The Kithless."

And here's the TFL manual's description of them:

"A race of warriors who betrayed the light when Balor promised them immortality. Three hundred years later, their decayed bodies still walk, held together only by rotting bandages and the desire to rend flesh from the bodies of the living."
