Yes, but carrying on Balor's mission *was* usurping the mantle of the Leveller. No one except the Leveller gets to try to destroy the world. And the epilogue *does* say that Soulblighter attempted to "force the cycle." I'm not saying Soulblighter was actually thinking "haha, I'm going to be the Leveller early," but he did try to do what the Leveller does and got smacked down because of it. Fate doesn't allow wannabe Levellers.
: P.S. yes i know what the epilogue sais but he doesnt say
: anything for sure, note the world "prehaps".
Note the pair of words "almost certainly." You don't get much more definite than that in the Myth world. Whee, silly debates are fun. Shall we have a separate thread for discussing the use of probabilistic adverbs? :)
