Heh, funny you should mention... I was actually with Creation at the time TSG was being made, and wrote a rather large big of back-story that only found its way into the game piecemeal, tying it in to the known lands of Myth. (it was originally a completely separate universe based off of a novella another Creationer, Jack as I recall, wrote). The Dwarves came there in airships, most humans fleeing from Yer'Ks, and the Northmen of course are Berserks, who like the 'Ks sailed around the poles (It's on the direct opposite side of the world from Myth, and it's actually another continent as I recall). Elves and Goblins were the only two native species.
Also, I wonder how many other people missed this - Gorlan IS the Goblins' emperor. (I can't claim credit for that part, all I did was connective backstory). The whole of TSG is Gorlan's prophecies, and as you recall he is amazed that he can see himself in the future, because you're not supposed to be able to see yourself in prophecies! But he CAN'T seem to focus on the Emperor. And toward the end, if you listen to the wording of the journals, he seems to be going a little... nuts. In his final prophecy, that one Goblin general whose name I can't recall screams "GORLAN!" into the spacetime portal thing.... the same scream which awoke Gorlan from his first prophecy. Then he leaves to visit the Goblins, and leaves his possessions, name, and title with his apprentice, according to tradition... THAT is the Gorlan you see in the game. And remember that these journals were written PRIOR to the events foreseen in the prophecy. He goes to see the Goblins and makes the whole damn war happen, slowly losing his mind.
Cool huh?
: at the end you could have the dream of wyrd completed,
: and insted of the world being destroyed, the old gods
: comet would be shattered and the leveler would be
: dead. permanantly.
Nah, that's too black and white. I like the good ending actually being bad too. Now I just need a third.
