: We were debating that one long before GURPS came out,
: though. The curious absence of any reference to The
: Deceiver's death in text or art after
: "Shiver," plus the later text about Myrdred
: still possessing Soulblighter's crow, had led many of
: us to believe that Myrdred's death was faked in some
: fashion (or else that he really died, but transferred
: his mind into Phelot's body).

"The Fallen Lords are dead and the Dark has fled the land."
So, unless Bungie was thinking of publishing a new story set before the end of Myth II, they probably meant to imply that the returning heroes reported The Deceiver dead. More references to his death would be redundant and clutter up the journal entries.
