: This begs the question does the light always know of the
: Leveller's presence before he attacks, during the
: light age.
OMG, you misused begging the question. If a question is begged, it means someone pretended that something was already answered when it wasn't.
: Just one more thing. In the TLF instruction book, the
: story near the begining is set in the 7th year of the
: war in the north, and it says that Muirthemne was
: sacked, '...just a few years ago.'. In TFL, you start
: playing in the 17th year of the war (the Seven Gates
: narration says, 'So ends the seventeenth year of the
: war).
: This is inconsistent with GURPS. According to it,
: Muirthemne was sacked in 2431. It also says that the
: light begin their long-overdue fight back in 2463, 32
: years after Muirthemne fell. I think that this fight
: back is what is referred to as the 'war in the north',
: because (still according to GURPS) Shiver was killed
: in 2480, 17 years after the start of the fight back
: (which is consistent with the game, Shiver is killed
: in the 17th year).
: That means that in the 7th year of the war, the year was
: 2470, 39 years after Muirthemne was sacked. So how
: come the instruction manuel says that it was but a few
: years ago?
This is consistent with GURPS. I can't find anywhere where it says Muirthemne fell only a few years ago. In the glossary, it says Muirthemne fell fifty years ago. Since this is the 17th year and the war started 32 years after Muirthemne fell, this would seem to add up about right.
