In Response To: Re: A thought (yes, just one) on the Leveler (Jonathan Goss)
Hi. I,m new to Bungie but I've played myth and got a theory of my own.
1. I think that the leveler is a human who was one of the very first on the myth world, who probably had a cruel life and didn't know much. And who's family hated him, Like Hitler. Then, like Hitler he found his strength in fighting and became a great and favoured warrior. He might of even of lead a kingdom by overthrowing the original king. Then I think he explored the myth world and found great magic powers and became such a great sourcerer and knew so much that he was able to cheat death by leaving his physical body before it died and so became a wandering spirit who waited for a powerful leader who would be able to sustain his soul and so he waited until Conyak arrived. A great warrior who could turn into a werewolf and had many powerful friends and allies. As soon as the leveler saw the strength in Conyak he tried to take over Conyak but Conyak's will was too strong to be wiped out straight away that is why he told Damas to hide the great artifacts and became Balor.
Now going back to the leveler and his powerful kingdom my guess is that he was a cruel leader and so when he left his body his people destroyed all record of him like the Eygiptians would do and of course seeming that he was in his spiritual body, could do nothing about it. He was washed away from history and knowledge.
Well I've got to continue searcing the site. Hope someone replies to my idea.
: I think that there are at least two options here: 1) that
: the Trow DID in fact fight against the Leveler just as
: the Humans do now, and this is a cycle that supercedes
: Myth species (hell, as a joke even the deer have their
: own version in the flavor texts! But then again, it is
: just a joke) and goes back for countless aeons. If
: this is true then I do not think that the Leveler
: would remember or care necessarily about past
: encarnations in the manner of Trow Callieach, et al.
: The Leveler seems to be a somewhat mindless antagonist
: who never really knows what's going on (hence, Balor's
: outrage at the placing of the Myrkridian standard at
: Rhi'anon, indicating that he still thinks he's
: Connacht). Perhaps the theories are right and the
: Leveler is nothing more than an all purpose population
: control device, like a giant can of Raid for the Myth
: world.
: 2) That the Leveler is exclusive to the Human race and
: has never been incarnated as a Trow or Callieach or
: any of the former "Great Races." This is
: obviously a suspicious theory as it comes from Myth
: III, which no one really seems to regard as canon
: since it's not Bungie. The whole story of that game
: seems a bit forced, like it's trying too hard to tie
: up loose ends. But regardless, if this is the case,
: and the Leveler is Human only then it would fall in
: line with the Myth world without a hitch. Here's why:
: sure there's no "Leveler" for the other
: races, possibly b/c the other races weren't in need of
: an all purpose antagonist/population reducer. Perhaps
: the younger races are more fertile than the elder
: ones. This seems to be a common trend in most
: mythologies anyways, why not here? But we're still
: left with the Trow who waged war against pretty much
: every race. Why? Perhaps THEY were the Leveler, in a
: different fashion. Their entire race was population
: control/antagonist, constantly being pitted against
: the other races. Who knows why this started? In the
: case of the Oghres, it's obvious: the Trow enslaved
: them. Maybe the Trow were the universal badguys (being
: created by Nyx) and Wyrd's creations were somewhat
: "nicer." Then again perhaps the Trow were
: enlightenned, and saw their role for what it was:
: enemy. Some badguys throughout history have no doubt
: realized what they were and accepted it as part of
: fate, the universe, or whatever, maybe that's the case
: with the Trow?
: So basically, The Leveler has always been around and
: doesn't care what race he comes back as as long as
: it's the most powerful/biggest in population. Or that
: the Trow are a somewhat different version of the
: Leveler, as a race, harkening back to the god-struggle
: of Nyx and Wyrd, thus making Myth not a world where
: the races battle against flesh and blood, but against
: the very gods themselves (which would make for a more
: "mythical" experience). Think of it as the
: old and new testament: Two different sets of rules and
: needs for two different eras.
: I personally would go with theory 2, but I really need to
: go to bed.
