: Second, the Trow really like Myrdred, and I doubt they'd
: be particularly affectionate toward him if he helped
: entomb them for a thousand years.
--ahem--
We don't really know that the Trow actually 'like' the Deciever one single bit, only that they respect his Furor Poeticus... We know that they don't really mind being beaten, so long as the fight is fun (With Friends Like These, and that they sided with Balor, who in a past life had treated them less than cordially)... They perhaps know that anyone who can beat them is definetly worth considering for alliance purposes. They don't seem to bear a grudge against anyone except the Forest Giants (and those few extinct races, but I imagine that the grudge is gone there too)
: My personal chronicling of Myrdred's history is: He
: joined the Avatara during the Wind Age, and perhaps
: was a founding member. Based in Madrigal (according to
: GURPS), the Avatara mainly fought evil west of the
: Cloudspine, while the Cath Bruig sparred with the
: Krids in the center of the continent and people were
: generally miserable in the East. The Trow remained
: aloof from humanity, and Myrdred visited them
: occasionally for poetry slams. :-)
: Shortly before Connacht arose in the East, the Watcher
: attacked the West and was imprisoned under the
: Cloudspine by Myrdred after killing Mazzarin. When the
: Dark attacked from the West, Connacht imprisoned the
: Trow and then attacked the Leveller himself. By now
: (after he'd taken care of the Trow), he was far enough
: west to formally meet and ally with the Avatara, and
: impressed the hell out of Myrdred. When he returned to
: Muirthemne to be emperor, Myrdred followed him and
: went with him a few years later when he exiled
: himself.
: So basically, my only disagreement with you is on the
: finer points of when Myrdred and Connacht became
: friends.
: But, as usual, this is an Asylum-level discussion and is
: far beyond definite proof/disproof of major issues. So
: feel free, in your scenario, to make Myrdred an old
: friend of Connacht who went with him to entomb the
: Trow. Whatever the truth may be, I think you're
: certainly close enough.
