Although the hero of every age of light is different, every dark age is ushered in by the same beast ó a transient divinity that seeks only conflict ó The Leveler. And so Tireces returned as Moagim to end the Age of Reason ó and Connacht, the great hero of the Wind Age, returned as Balor to lay waste to the greatest empire the world had ever known.
The Leveler was never killed. He was immobilized by sorcery, beheaded and burned at the stake in the Second Era. A thousand years later he was drawn and quartered on the plains before Ileum, the tireless horses dragging the pieces of his lifeless body to the four corners of the world. Again in the Fourth Era his body was destroyed by fire, his ashes mixed with salt and buried under the Mountains of Kor. Balor, Moagim and all those before them wore the Mantle of The Leveler.

Alrught, if your theory proves true, then I have some tidbits that may interest you. First off, how far East does the land extend? We know that the Untamed Lands extend quite far to the Southeast, but does anything lay beyond Gower, or was the Mad Journeyman correct?
Here are some quick associations based upon the current Levelers and the current Myth world. If Alric arose from the West and Connacht from the East, then Tireces arose from the West!
Another question remains... can geography play the same role as the home city of the Great Hero/Leveler? In that case then Connacht arose and died in the East, while Tireces would have done both in the West. If this follows suit, then the Moutains of Kor and the Plains before Illeum are opposite one another. And Alric will be killed somewhere to the West of the Cloudspine.
These are just a few quick ideas, but let me know what you think about them.
Sincerely,
Pimpyō
