: This is a pretty basic question, but it's late, I'm at
: work, and I'm bored...
: How does Bungie reconcile the obvious death of Alric in
: the first Myth with the second Myth? I know that just
: about everyone has seen the flying Alric head amidst
: the detritus showering Truan after the Great Devoid
: erupted, but obviously the avatara lived. How? Is it
: that he was so powerful that he could resurrect
: himself? Doubtful, since it took an Eblis stone to
: equal himself with Balor. What if, and this is a big
: IF, he died and then came back immediately as the
: Leveler. We know Alric is slated to become the Leveler
: since he is the savior of the Sword Age. But what if
: after his death from the Great Devoid's explosion he
: was immediately resurrected as the Leveler and like
: Balor/Connacht before him, waged what he thought was a
: just war against Soulblighter? I mean, this is a hard
: claim to justify since the Leveler is all
: about....well, levelling. And Alric definitely
: presided over the rebuilding of the West and even the
: retaking of the Cath Bruig. But what if it's a matter
: of perspective? No doubt Balor thought he was waging a
: just war, apparently unaware of his
: "possession" by the Leveler. What if the
: same was true of Alric sixty years later? I'm not
: saying this theory is fullproof (obviously), but maybe
: it warrants some consideration. After all, everyone
: thought they were doing the right thing, but then
: again...
: we did free the Deceiver.
Ok
1. I don't recall seeing Alric's head in that film, but I do remember Thrall heads.
2. Alric didn't go to the Great Devoid, as he doesn't teleport with the rest of the troops, he sorta stays to fend off the waves with a dream I'd expect.
3. The Deceiver was freed yes but as a weapon to use against the dark, and The Deceiver died in the battle with Shiver not long after.
