: A fetch? She's not shaped like a fetch. She's shaped like

Blah. The fetch-idea was just my way of showing what would be more reasonable than saying she was a Myrmidon.
: And there's not the
: slightest evidence that there is a single female
: fir'Bolg. Or bre'Unor. Or ghol. Or Myrkridia. Or that
: there are children of any of those races. Or that the
: Province contains any ordinary mammals aside from
: wolves, deer, squirrels and pigs.
Well, for one thing, there are horses shown in the first pregame picture from "Into the breach" and "cattle" is spoken of in the journal entry before "Through the Ermine".
But besides that, that there would be females of living kinds of creatures or that there should be other mammals than the ones we see or hear of is something we can most likely assume without any hesitation. There might be some border line cases in the gender issue, but that's not interesting anyhew. Most of these things are taken from real life features and aren't something that would be good examples.
The Myrmidon, however, are DEAD. Stone dead. They just happened to be resurrected by Balor to go fight the forces of The Nine. Since there is no sign of any female warriors in the wortld of Myth (fetch don't count since they use magic as a weapon and are from an entirely different world as well). It MIGHT be that Shiver was a Myrmidon in their living form, but then why did she get the name Ravanna to begin with?
If Shiver, Ravanna, was supposed to be the Fallen Lord (Lady?) previously known as Bonesplitter, this Bonesplitter must never have been a Myrmidon.
: We're allowed to
: assume there's *somewhat* more to the Myth world than
: appears in gameplay.
When we discuss things produced mostly by the imagination of the story writers, we can assume a whole lot more than when we deal with things inspired by actual biology.
: For us regulars the Shiver argument was over and done
: with almost a year ago. Some people decided on
: Bonesplitter, some people decided on The Voiceless
: One, and we didn't talk about it after that. The
: argument only restarted because newbies and folks that

: looks to me like the argument's dying down again, so
: you needn't worry.
I merely contested that Shiver is definetly not a Myrmidon.
