: So perhaps the Myth world is still in a Dark age and even
: greater evil has yet to come. The current year is 2542
: A.E. (page 18 of GURPS) so the cycle is approximately
: only 100 years delayed. Perhaps just as Mogaim
: organized the Myrkridia, it took them time to
: reorganize their efforts. So an even greater evil was
: unleashed upon the world by the actions of
: Balor/Soulblighter and has yet to be unveiled upon the
: Myth denizens.
But Gurps doesn't say anything about evil still walking the land except for the rements of the Dark armies.
: Another important note is that Tharsis, the place
: Soublighter attempted to destroy was the only symbol
: of Nyx in the Myth world. The known Myth world is all
: that is considered the creation of the Wyrd
Soulblighter's attempt to destroy Tharsis could also be a slap in the face to the Trow who refused to join his cause.
For those of you without Gurps, the Myth world was created by Wyrd during a battle with Nyx (both Gods) and Tharsis was a wound from the battle. Before for this there were the Dark (old) gods. After the battle the Dark gods behead Wyrd's son Segoth (sounds almost like an old Marathon name) which was preserved so that it would never die and could always speak... Sound like the Head to me.
Also another idea: maybe Tharsis, the legendary Forge of the Trow, is not the Trow's forge where they used to make weapons, but the forge where Nyx made the Trow. It's the one place in the Myth world that is Nyx's. What better place for him to make them. They're not normal beings, they seen to have certian metallic properties. The volcano would be the best place. Theoretically Nyx could create more, or even reincarnate Trow when they die. That would explain they're fanatical devotion to Nyx.
