: Except the Myth II quote I still haven't the time to look
: up, that Soulblighter learned "Balor's greatest
: secret - the reanimation of the dead".
Exact quote, please, and resources to back it up. I recall something about Balor's secret, but the thing about the undead dosen't strike me.
: Through all of this you seem to be overlooking one simple
: little thing...
: I didn't start the Bahl'al = Watcher theory. I thought
: Bahl'al was Shiver, initially. Someone else proposed
: the Bahl'al = Watcher theory and I jumped on behind it
: because they made good counterarguments.
Well, all my research led to a chat log with you stating it and one of the first few posts here from you with some archived data, apparently.
As the proprietor of the site, you, unfortunately, were the ideal target to lay this blame on, but at this point, I think it no longer matters, and I'll just be sticking to the facts of the game in future posts.
: Except that it says that Soulblighter learned how to make
: them, and the Balor knew as well.
Please state fact only, if you would. We don't see them doing anything of the sort, there is nothing in the texts to indicate that they do, etc.
(This whole thing still is about Bahl'al not being the Watcher.)
: The Gjol river flows out of the Trow lands. The Trow
: water supply is so full of rusting iron that it's red.
: Rusty water isn't good for most living things. That is
: more clearly why the Gjol is poisoned.
Rust DOES precipitate in water (settle to the bottom); it does not become a solution when they mix. I've seen enough rusted, rain-filled buckets to know. Also, iron oxide IS NOT a poison, you get plenty of iron filings in a box of Total cereal (the type of iron they use). In addition to that, there are very many potable sources of water that run through and among iron deposits- if you see red sediment on a riverbank, it's probably got iron inside of it.
So *clearly* it isn't any sort of rust doing the job. (I would assume that they're referring more to a death fever anyway.)
Furthermore, the Trow used iron in great amounts, but so do the armies of the west.
By your reasoning, every river in the west should also be 'poisoned,' as well, because the living use iron, too.
: What is this thing with Tuncer you keep thinking of?
: Tuncer was not the primary writer of Myth's story -
: Jason Jones and Rob McLees were. I believe Tuncer was
: still just with IMG when Myth 1 was being made.
Fine: Jason then, my bad.
: All Dreams are not necessarily physical objects that must
: be carried around, and "used up" to be cast.
: Despite the fact that several sources, most of which
: you are ignoring, state otherwise, wouldn't Bahl'al
: have to "make" a new Dream of Unlife each
: time he makes a Thrall, akin to how Shades and Avatara
: must get new energon cubes and such to cast each
: dispersal? It makes much more sense that energon cubes
: are simply manastones in the traditional fantasy
: sense, power sources for big casting spells, and that
: Dreams are a known thing, though perhaps learned from
: a physical object.
Manastones? Come now....
As for the nature of dreams, Alric suddenly has a few every so often, and then, at Twice Born and The Forge, he has none. My guess is that he 'lays' them, as an avatara, when he sleeps (hence 'dreams.' he has some in Gate of Storms and again in Landing at White Falls, with a month and 6 days in between.), but, we'll never really know because no one mentions more about dreams.
There has been some discussion about the Dream of Unlife being a runestone, but I'd like to see some evidence supporting this before I consider it.
