: Besides, it isn't said for CERTAIN that The Head is

: "All other sources" being one vague reference
: in the comic to Moagim when Rabican was fighting

: Rabican with an image of Moagim.
BTW Forrest, I sent this to you by mistake instead of posting it to alt.games.myth, here it is on this thread too

Heh, I get it. So, The Head was a guy with an arbitrarily made up name that was beheaded by entities we've never even heard of in the game. Nice one, gurps (I've stopped capitalizing that because it doesnt deserve it). It seems much more logical that it is Moagim... there's a lot more evidence than that one comic. Many levellers have been beheaded before. Indeed we know of none that for sure HAVENT been beheaded...
Moagim was beheaded, DarkSkies, Forrest and myself had an argument about it a while back and we found that the consensus was that the practice of drawing and quartering involved cutting off the head...
Seeing as the four body parts were dragged to the four corners of the world, does it not make perfect sense that the head would be in the center, i.e., Muirthemne? That is, if you want to get the body as seperated as possible.
Still-living heads of levellers are gotten rid of in a myriad of ways - and that this particular head just HAPPENS to be buried under Connacht's capital city - its a logical explanation. The GURPS version most certainly is not.
Son of Wyrd beheaded by "The Dark Gods?" PLEASE. So, Wyrd has less power than Truan, who got him out? Why doesnt Wyrd do anything about his son being beheaded? ("Wyrd killed them, thats why they weren't mentioned in the game!" :P)
and WHO ARE THE DARK GODS?
I'll tell you what happened. Gurps tried to provide an easy answer to a problem that Bungie didnt want to deal with, so they deliberately made something up that had no references within the game. The only problem is it opens up more questions than answers. I refuse to believe that Bungie did not leave the clues to the identity of the Head in the Myth series and made the player depend on buying a book for an RPG instead - The clues that they left point directly to Moagim.
