: That'd work too. Maybe have the narrator come from where
: someone TRIED to do what Connacht did, and actually
: failed; his people tried to stand against the
: Myrkridia and were destroyed, and he's amongst the
: last survivors of a vanquished civilization. Hmm...
: are there any civilizations like that mentioned
: anywhere in canon? People that just got utterly wiped
: out?
"All that we know of the Myrkridia comes from old songs and half-forgotten legends. They are full of horrifying tales of whole armies being devoured and entire cities being erased from the world." Quoting the Myth 2 Journal Writer.
That's the closest I can think of to examples of "vanquished civilizations" in canon.
A thought that just hit that causes a minor problem we may need to deal with. As things stand, we have the Myrkridia as basically organized man eating wolves, with more intelligence and much deadlier. So where do the stories refered to in that quote come from? Simply eating humans on a regular basis is hardly anything to spark viewing them as demons out to wipe out mankind from the face of the world (Myth has things that do have such plans to tell stories about for those who would do so). The kind of 'krids we're thinking of seem to look at humans more as...well, deer. Game to be hunted. Not something to be exterminated.
: Yeah, that works particularly well actually. Moagim is
: Tireces, who founded the city of Muirthemne. The
: Smiths of Muirthemne... built Muirthmne. It would make
: sense that Moagim/Tireces would be well acquainted
: with the Smiths and their magic. Who knows... maybe
: they even helped summon the Myrkridia into the world
: to begin with, and then realizes as all collaborators
: of the Dark do, just how big a mistake that was.
Sounds good.
What exactly is Llancarfan, then? We're apparently steering away from it being the same as Muirthemne.
