: First, the facts: In ancient times there were the old
: Dark Gods. Then came Nyx and Wyrd, who were/are
: enemies, and the war between them created the world as
: we know it. Nyx had Wyrd's son beheaded as revenge for
: her defeat. Right?
Actually the Dark gods not Nyx beheaded Segoth (Wyrd's son) because they thought Wyrd had tricked them.
: Now, where does the Leveller fit into all of this? Here's
: what I think. Since Wyrd won the war, Nyx created a
: transient divinity, a son of sorts - The Leveller.
: Every thousand years this Leveller would inhabit a
: powerfull mortal and attack the world, though it only
: wins half the time. But the first thing it did was
: behead Wyrd's own son. Now that son is drifting around
: the world as a severed head, popping up every now and
: then to avenge himself on his mortal enemy - The
: Leveller.
Technically it doesn't say that Wyrd lose the battle... only that the world began with it. Ok, so it does say that the Trow choose to worship the "looser" perhaps as a result of their judgement of Wyrd's craftmanship. Although I would probably worship the god that created me not the god thats my creators enemy...
: So, The Head really did lose his body at the hands of
: Balor - seeing as Balor is The Leveller. (Like Alric
: said "Balor has been killed before", talking
: about the Leveller). And he may have been one of the
: avatara of Connacht, as he's out to defeat the
: Leveller. And that's probably why Balor buried him
: under tons of sand and rock, to prevent his helping
: the Light.
Speaking of avatara and dreams, Wyrd drew his power from the One Dream. Legend has it that the map we see of Myth is what Wyrd saw when he first awoke, from the One Dream. Everything beyond that does really exist. That is just common belief in Myth not fact. Anyway, apparently, the Dark gods finally got revenge on Wyrd himself by shattering the One Dream into the 49 Dreams of Wyrd (49 = 7 x 7 Bungie and their sevens!) and scattering the them across the world of myth. Rune stone now mark these sites.
: Or maybe he didn't intentionally hurt the Light, but
: simply put them in dangerous situations without regard for : their safety, in his merciless persuit of the Leveller.
Well I don't know if he out after the Leveller so much, but he would probably risk the Light a lot more than the average person would, because he is immortal and cannot die because of the magics placed on him.
