1. Are the two fallen lords who are
: never seen in the game, ever mentioned in anywhere
: else except the pre-release? Those guys being Bheil
: and Faceless Man.
We have a number of names that are not conclusively assigned to any of the four known Fallen Lords, but none of them are from the games: The Voiceless One, The Faceless Man, and Bonesplitter are from prerelease materials, and Bheil and a bunch of other confusing misinformation is from GURPS. I no longer consider GURPS canon because of all its obvious contradictions of in-game materials, and pre-GURPS the best candidate for assigning one of those three names to the last of the four known Fallen (Shiver) was "Bonesplitter"; it's not mentioned on the Fallen Names article, but her vanity also makes her a great candidate for a former Myrmidon, and Bonesplitter is an archetypically Myrmidon name. Myth 3 also depicted her as a Myrmidon, for what little that's worth.
So that would leave the two unknown Fallen Lords as most likely named The Faceless Man and The Voiceless One, much befitting their silent invisibility in the story.
: Also, could they be the ones that
: took over Madrigal at the final stages of the war of
: TFL? As far as I remember, Watcher was dead, Deceiver
: was routed, Balor was in Rhi'Annon, Shiver was
: defeated earlier, and soulblighter was somewhere close
: since he showed up at the Great Devoid.
Sounds plausible.
: 2. Was Mazzarin the founder of the Avatara order? Is it
: confirmed anywhere else than myth 3 that Myrdred was
: once an Avatara
No canon sources say that Mazzarin founded the Avatara, but Myth II calls Myrdred "an Avatara of the Wolf Age".
: 3. Was Alric the only Avatara to survive the war? After
: the tain, the narrator mentions that the nine are
: "more like the three now". Maeldun is kind
: of tricky, he was severely wounded, but did he really
: die? Though we can assume that the rest of the avatara
: died when Madrigal went down.
Sounds plausible. Seems like none of them survived to Myth II either way, otherwise we'd most likely have heard of them.
: 4. Are berserks from the Twelve duns/Gower area? Though I
: think theres a myth 2 flavor text that suggests that
: the berserkers homeland was left untouched by the
: dark, and that would make it impossible, since as far
: as we know, balor ravaged the lands east of
: Cloudspine. Then where are myrmidons from? Someone
: mentioned that they were from the 12 duns.
No canon information; all we know of the Twelve Duns is that it's "closer to the Trow demesne than any sane man has dared in two generations", i.e. since the Great War. So, probably not the Berserks' homeland.
: 5. Are the other incarnations of Leveler, Mjarin and
: Sorangath The Flayed considered canon?
: 6. Is Myth the Wolf age considered canonical at all? What
: about GURPS? I ordered it yesterday because I became
: interested in myth again.
No, no, and no.
: 7. Were the Smiths of Muirthemne really Dwarves?
Yes, but they were named after the city, not vice versa.
: 8. Where in the Myth world do the event's described in
: Chimera take place?
The Untamed Lands.
: And questions where there are probably no canonical
: answers
: 1. Where is Leix? It's mentioned in the flavor text of a
: warrior.
: 2. Do we know anything about the island with the tower on
: it, south of covenant?
No canon information, but it's hypothesized that that island is Leix.
: 3. Do we know anything about lands beyond myth? Untamed
: lands, blind steppe etc.
Nothing canon, besides Chimera.
: 4. Are the figures in murals we see inside the tain the
: real form of Fetch?
That's my theory and I'm sticking to it, but no canon info.
: 5. Did anyone ever think that the head could be the
: leveler from the era preceding Tireces, where the
: leveler was burned at the stake and beheaded? Though
: the head claims that it's an old enemy of balor, it
: might not be so, as the head is known to lie.
Don't think anybody's suggested the Leveller from BEFORE Tireces. Plenty of people were suggesting Moagim, which is the theory I finally came around to too.
: 6. Magical suit of armor Alric was searching from the
: desert? Did it really exists, or was it the one that
: balor wore?
No canon confirmation, but I always thought it was the suit Balor was wearing.
: Also, the trow say that they saw that he
: wore the mantle of the Leveler, is it the armor or is
: it more like a presence or something?
A "mantle" is a figurative expression for a title, position, or responsibility, deriving its use from a literal article of clothing (a broad-shouldered cloak) that signified a position of authority like that of a king. So for example, if I were to retire from admining this forum, someone else could take up the mantle of adminship; but that doesn't mean I'd have to ship them the cape I wear whenever I'm acting as admin, I'd just have to set their account to Admin. So Balor saying "wore the mantle of the Leveller" is a poetic way of saying he held the position of being the Leveller.
