: Present the world of that time as Bungie originally
: portrayed it - blackened and desolate, living under
: the long shadows of Myrkridian battle standards, the
: Trow empire "technically" dominating the
: entire continent, with Myrkridia and Humans mere
: insects scampering under their feet, Bahl'al stalking
: the lands raising the many dead to serve his mad whim,
: and a looming shadow rising in the west... a dark and
: menacing figure who some say may be Moagim, reborn.
: Unexpectedly, out of this madness comes the hero
: Connacht, who eventually leads a desperate effort to
: drive back the forces of the Dark and return Light to
: the lands of men...
: I once had such a story outlined, for the expanded
: version of the Mill contest winner "Under
: Myrkridian Standards", which I helped write. I'd
: love to see this "alternate" version of the
: Wind Age / Wolf Age told, but I don't have the time to
: write it myself. However, I know there are many decent
: fan-fiction writers here, and I would be willing to
: help get the outline and details down right, if
: someone else is willing to do the bulk of the actual
: writing. We could "set the record straight",
: so to speak, as to what really happened in the time of
: Myth 3.
I've played part of that (Under Myrkridian Standards). Good maps...if a little too hard for my tastes (I have the bad habit of hating to take casualties, although in this type of situation, that should be given up as nigh impossible and the maps enjoyed)
I'll volunteer to do some of the writting for flavor texts and (if possible) journal entry kind of things. It would be nice to think of the Wind/Wolf age in the true Myth sense, rather than imagining Connacht as Ye Olde Invincible Barbarian who cannot fail.
We know he does not...but it should be possible to create at least the illusion of suspense.
Seraph
P.S. If we do this, what would Myrdred be? Somehow, portraying him as having always been the Deciever (in game effects) seems a little much, although he's apparently a mage first and a warrior as a distant second. Using the Alric-standard avatara for him would not fit.
