Allright i think that some of the Cath Bruig emoire was in the west. i dont remeber where i read it but somewhere i read that the empire west of the cloudspine collapsed. this is a evidence that the cath bruig had lands in the west.
i try to put up an timeline of the early war, there are properly many mistakes in it, but remember it is ducky style.
-500 years before Sword age.Balor appears in the east.
he gets some fallen lords. i dont remeber how and when.
-300 years from the siege of madrigal. the Myrmidion bertay the light.
i think that it is about now Balor stars the large scale attack, at his time he have already sacked Gower, and the he have properly also attacked the eastern borders of cath bruig.
-Cath bruig and the west aint best friend
evidence that indicates that: 1. to different cultures, were one of them are a large empire, and he others are city states ussualy dont like each other. they had alot of trade but they didn't love each other
2. another evidence. the west didn't support Cath Bruig with a large scale army.
3. i like the idea that there have been a war once.
4. thay have different religions i think. the Avartara were most of them are educated in Muithemne or Covenant ( wich a think have been a Cath bruig dominated area), belive in the same thing, the preserver and leveller thing.
but we know that an ordinary man ( the narrator, dont know anything about the cycle, the mad journeyman from Cathb ruog belived it, but the people of the west dont know a thing about it.
evidence against my theori.
1. the heron guards helped defend Bagrada.
yes but the empire had land in the west, so ofcurse they defende bagrada, and i dont say the two countries were enemies, but that wanted to take care of their own buisness.
2. the heron guards supports alric when he becomes emperor, it is unlikely they would do that if they were enemies
3. they have the same religion.
some people means that they all belives in the preserver thing.
let me continiue with my timmeline.
150 years before the siege of madrigal. the war ended in 130 years before the siege of madrigal, i think this war was the war that brought Alric ( Caliban) to the power. i think that is correct, and it have to be it think this is the reason why it was in the glossery.
50 years before SOM ( siege of Madrigal)
Muirthemne falls, the same did the rest of the eastern empire, only the empire in the west remained.
i cant remember more right now i have to find my Myth glossery.
