: Okay, the leveller is a horrific killing machine. His big
: things are the Undead and horrible monstrosities. He
: has a tendancy to nearly scour the world clean,
: expecially for humans, fir'bolg and dwarves.... though
: the quote about the world spinning like a coin,
: belonging to either the living or the dead seems to
: imply that he would kill all the living, or at least
: attempt to...
: Dark side living units I can think of right now because
: its 8:31am and I haven't gone to bed yet...
: Brigands
: Well, they're asking for it. They're going to get
: betrayed and killed and zombified like everyone
: else... The ones in TFL were hypnotized by the
: Deceiver, and the ones in myth II... Soulblighter's
: not a real Leveller anyway...
: Myrkridia
: Well, Myrkridia were horrible monsterous beasts... They
: didn't really willingly alliance as they were just
: trained and aimed at people...
: Fetch
: The fetch were desperate to get back to their world...
: Balor said he could do it.
: Maul
: The maul were "...tempted by Soulblighter's promises
: of easy victory over an unprepared foe... "
: and I dont think Soulblighter was really a leveller
: anyway, he just wanted to be like his best buddy.
: Trow
: They seem to be sorta indestructable... The first time
: they were working with the leveller, they were in
: their Iron Age (and really liked crushing those lesser
: races no less) and I dont think the leveller could
: have really done anything. The Trow being the avatars
: of Nyx and all that could have stopped anything the
: Leveller threw at them during the height of their
: power. The second time they owed balor. After that,
: nothing... Prefered not to get involved, sort of
: saying that the Trow are not part of this, maybe only
: Wyrd's creatures get killed by the Leveller?
: Ghol
: Heres where the fun begins.
: Some "facts" from the above if no one bothered
: to read that...
: -The levellers I am counting are Moagim (Im assuming his
: army is similar to Moagim Reborn's in TWA) Mjarin is a
: different kind of Leveller. I call him a 'political
: Leveller' since he's really an odd one out, im leaving
: him out of this.
: -The leveller tends to 'totally dominate' whatever races
: are under their control... No wiggle room.
: -The Dark age brings about a time when the world is
: controlled by either the living or the dead.
: -The Leveller Seems to only to go after Lesser creations,
: the newer lifes, as they never seem to attack the trow
: (unless they join the army of the lesser creations)
: -Ghols are lesser races, yet they've joined the
: Leveller's army so many times... and they aren't dead
: yet?
: Here's the tough one, they are protrayed as being part of
: the forces of the Dark in every game. Why? Why do they
: side with the Leveller? To me they seem to be a lesser
: race, they definatly don't SEEM to be an older race,
: so why are they not being exterminated by the
: leveller. True Levellers (Well so far... Balor and
: maybe Moagim) seem to be against having anything thats
: not totally controlled as a race in their little
: armies. No Brigands or Mauls and that stuff. I don't
: know about the trow's Wind age involvement, why they
: were doing it...
: They tend to keep it in the
: "They swore an oath to fight for me they'd never
: break" Myrmidons,
: "I have something over them" Fetch
: "Hypnotized" Dark living units, or
: "Undead brainless Zombie"
: Then there are the ghols, who
: A) It would be dumb of them to fight on a side that would
: destroy them, and they would have been you know...
: Destroyed... Three times at least. So they must NOT be
: lesser wyrd created races at all... They must have
: been either created by Nyx or the 'Old Gods'. The only
: support I can give this besides the "they aren't
: dead" is the "Or we will fell your people
: like a pine forest." quote. Perhaps they are one
: of those older races, that like the oghre the Trow
: didn't destroy, but enslaved, or at least kept them
: over in their little area of the world...
: Perhaps they are a young race, that the Leveller keeps in
: line with the Trow (and since the ghols are too scared
: to resist, its slavery, thus 'totally controlled'. The
: Leveller kills them off like he does to all the young
: races, by throwing them all AT the other young races.
: In the time of the campaign of myth you sure kill a
: LOT of ghols. They don't seem to be careful with them
: or anything. In the times between games/ levellers the
: Ghols are fast enough breeders to repopulate....
: they joined Soulblighter because they really REALLY hate
: the dwarves, so he used that to get them to join....
: but he wasn't a leveller anyway...
as i remember, the ghols were an old race, as this flavour text from myth TFl shows.
"The Ghols worship enormous pieces of unworked stone, moved in antiquity to the open meadows far below their mountain dwellings. They alone remember the names of the dark gods."
i believe that the dark gods are the old gods, and if the ghols remember their names, they must be an older race.
