: "Of all the other archmages destined to become

: For anyone who doesn't realise, this is the text in GURPS
: Myth before the paragraph concerning Mazzarin.
: This seems to say that Mazzarin took part in the Great
: War, yet strangely enough in the next paragraph it
: aknowledges that he died many decades before Connacht
: defeated the Trow, and we know that he died during the
: Wind Age. So how come Mazzarin was involved in the
: Great War? Gene Seabolt skipped the levels and so
: could not have seen the Mazzarin in the Watcher level
: (something which will need to be confirmed), so he
: must be referring to someone else.
: Maybe this Faceless Man is Mazzarin...
It could only be saying that he was more powerful than anyone involved with the Great War, but it does seem to imply that. Weird.
Gene Seabolt didn't skip all the levels, just the really hard ones. The Watcher is one of the hardest levels in either game, so it's quite likely he skipped it. I'll include a question about this in my next erratta report. Apparently, he didn't realize how much of the story was carried out in game.
