: There never was any proof that the spirits alternate. In
: fact the Myth II epilouge blatantly goes against the
: suggestion, "The hero of every light age is
: different," and "a transient divinty that
: seeks only conflict - Leveller." So for the
: alternating spirits to work there would have to be 4
: spirits. The Leveller, the Hero, the A Spirit and the
: B Spirit. And the existence of an actual Hero spirit
: is also debatable, something more like an actual god
: given power up rather than spirit. There has never
: been any Myth I/II evidence of this alternating AB
: spirit, only GURPS theories that that go completely
: against Ockhams Razor. This whole Moagim Reborn thing
: which suggests that the Leveller is an intelligent
: spirit which chooses it's host rather than controlled
: by some cycle. Rather than some repeat in a cycle, in
: fact is isn't very cyclical for it to repeat itself.
: In fact the only cycle that exists in the True Canon
: is the Light Dark Age cycle, and no mention what so
: ever is said of a AB spirit cycle. So to believe in
: the this Cycle you have to believe in GURPS being more
: right than True Canon.

Personally, I interpreted the Myth2 Epilogue Heron as being far too optimistic for his own good (or perhaps just not wanting to depress everyone else, seeing as they'd all be dead by the time the next age came around).
As for "True Canon", remember, Myth2 Epilogue Heron does not equal Omniscient Narrator. More likely, Myth2 Epilogue Heron equals Another Crazy Journeyman!
