: What I'm beginning to think it boiled down to was
: multiple writers working on GURPS Myth who didn't get
: their facts straight, neither between each other nor
: through close enough analysis of the game. The reasons
: for the contradictions in Myth II, however, are
: anyone's guess. If I had to guess, I'd have to say
: sloppy writing (given that Myth II was a rush job) was
: probably the number one cause.
Here's what I think. The Watcher and the Deceiver clashed in Seven Gates in the winter of the 17 year of the War in the West, and the Deceiver was bested. He disappeared, probably running of through "odd angles" to grab a new army and recover from his wounds. In the next spring, about the time of the Tain incident, he reappeared and crossed the Cloudspine at the Stair of Grief. Later that summer, after Balor's fall, he was beaten back to the Stair, and plunged into the Dramus.
