: From "Sons of Myrgard"
: "Messengers reached us today saying that Maeldun has
: lost Bagrada and that The Deceiver crossed the
: mountains at the Stair of Grief. Worst of all, what's
: left of the Nine had it out with The Head, which had
: apparently been double-crossing them ever since they
: pulled it out of the ground last summer."
: "Something like a civil war erupted back west, too,
: as thousands of our own men unexpectedly rose to
: defend The Head. Two of The Nine were killed, which
: makes them something like The Three now, if you also
: subtract Murgen and Cu Roi, who did not escape the
: destruction of the Tain, and the others who have died
: this year."
That's it? Forrest, you disappoint me.
There has obviously been an inconclusive way of dealing with the story surrounding The Deceiver. The last thing we hear about The Deceiver is that he crosses the Stair of Grief. The next thing we hear of him is about how he got trapped in ice thanks to members of the Legion. And there is NO mention of him ever sacking Madrigal.
Gee, I wonder what the ol' razor would do to this...
Oh, and I just remembered something. To whomever it said about there being no troops at all up at the Stair of Grief:
"A berserk at the Stair of Grief, having been told that the hosts of the Soulless were so many that their spears would hide the sun, is said to have replied 'Then we shall fight them in the shade."
Myth TFL berserk flavour
A battle at the Stair of Grief before of after The Deceiver crossed it?
