In Response To: Re: The Fallen sorcerors and Myth races (Wenire the Smelly (welly))

: Hello everybody,

: Nope this isn't the post where I update my info about the
: Fallen; I have yet to order Gurps but once I get it
: I'll take a look. Also, just to make sure, I hear
: everyone tallking about a Myth comic book. This is the
: one at the Bungie store right? Just checking to make
: sure there was another one I don't know about. If it
: is the one at the Bungie store, consider this: why do
: you take its stories so seriously like they were
: definite facts? They're just written by Myth fans like
: you and me. By accepting the stuff in the comic, you
: are just believing in their version of Myth, and not
: the actual storyline.

The comic was written by Bungie and drawn by Bungie artists and copyright 1998 Bungie Software Products Corp, so I'd say that's authentic Bungie-certified info.

grab it here:

http://myth.bungie.org/legends/relics/comic.pdf

: This is about the "pre-release info" on Myth:
: where can I get a copy of it? Or is it just a web
: site? Can someone give me the link or something so I
: can actually see this famous pre-release info myself?
: I hear it says something about Bonesplitter and the
: Faceless Man, but I'd like to see it myself. Thanks
: for anything you can do.

It was a bunch of info on Eidos' Myth page (Eidos published Myth TFL in Europe), but the majority of the page is now down. However, the information from it is still retained, along with lots of other pre-release, beta, unimplemented, etc stuff at:

http://myth.bungie.org/legends/relics/unimplemented.shtml

: Also, here's a little something about the Faceless Man.
: How do we know that "The Faceless Man"
: wasn't a nickname given to the missing Fallen Lord by
: Joe Schmoe that we all heard about and took too
: seriously as the ACTUAL name for the missing one? Or
: if the latter is wrong, how do we know that it isn't
: just another reference to Soulblighter? He doesn't
: have much of a face, right?

Because it was listed on a Bungie-authorized site way back when, and separately from Soulblighter. The list of Fallen Lords given was:

Bahl'al
Soulblighter
The Voiceless One
The Deceiver
Bonesplitter
The Faceless Man

The first three were "ancient evil" and the latter three "turned from the light".

Now, the names of the Fallen have obviously changed between then and now. Soulblighter is still Soulblighter and the Deceiver is still the Deceiver. We have confirmed Bahl'al as the Watcher, and the Voiceless One as Shiver. Now we have two old names and one new name: Bonesplitter & The Faceless Man, and The Lurker. The Lurker is female. The Faceless Man is obviously male. So there's only one old name to match to the Lurker; Bonesplitter. This means that the last Fallen Lord is The Faceless Man.

: Well, I hope one day that this Great Name Debate can be
: put to rest like the Fallen Lords themselves have been
: (at least this thread solved my issue about the races
: spiel!). Hope to hear from you again but please try to
: keep this thread neat, we don't want another huge
: mess.

It is put to rest, if WW would quit saying that the above isn't enough evidence to be certain!
