: Tireces was a Hero, not a Leveller.
: We knew there was some unknown Hero back in the First Era
: who fought and died against some unknown Leveller with
: an unknown army. Basically we know nothing except what
: we can derive from the cycle - which direction they
: came from, their order/chaos affiliation, etc.
: In the Second Era there was another Leveller, and Tireces
: the Great Hero defeated him and ushered in the Age of
: Reason. We know a little about the Light side of
: things, but again almost nothing about the Dark.
: In the Third Era, Tireces returned as Moagim with the
: Myrkridia, and an unknown Hero fought and died against
: him.
: In the Fourth Era, the Leveller called "Moagim
: reborn" attacked the west at the same time
: Connacht was liberating the east, at least until
: Connacht reached the west and kicked his ass too.
: Presumably he used the Myrkridia which were already
: running around killing things.
: And of course in the Fifth Era, Balor used the Undead.
Wow, been awile sence I posted anything.
Anyways, maybe the problem is that most people think the Levellers must use none humans as their main combat force. This might be the case after magic was well developed and would allow a powerfull mage to controll creatures like the Markridia or raise vast armies of undead solders, but what of the time before humans had an intement knowlage of magic?
If you beleave the order/chaos theory than it is not nessasary for a leaveler to have magic. Perhaps it would simply gather followers along it's line of thought into it's camp untill it had an army of raving fanatics, then unlesh them on everyone else.
An example might be that the leaveler takes over the leader of a powerfull nomadic tribe. It uses it's influence to make other nomads hate more settled folks and blam! You've got a war that might very well destroy much of a begining civilisation.
If this was posable then it would be posable now. Remember the leveler seems to exist to maintain the balence between order and chaos. A massave revolt or civil war in the empire could easaly cause as much damage as the Great War and its aftermath could bring a tightly controled police state or the chaos of dozens of "successor states".
Destroy this as you like;)
