: 2 reasons. First, Alric and The Head figured out lots of
: clever ways to get rid of the Fallen Lords one by one.
: Second, Balor linked the lesser Fallen to himself so
: that they were destroyed or weakened by his death.
: Now the cycle had proceeded normally, Alric would have
: killed Balor, but the remaining Dark forces would have
: killed him and finished off the few Light soldiers
: left; and the Dark would have reigned for a thousand
: years. But because of the 2 reasons given above, after
: Balor died there were virtually no Dark forces left.
: So Alric survived and the Light triumphed.
Are you saying that every fallen lord must die after securing the dark's victory? I don't think that because Moagim died before his forces won would mean this was part of the cycle. I beleive that a Leveller is only responsible for bringing in a dark age, not ruling it or seeing it through a thousand years and that Moagim dying is a random event. I thought that if the cycle proceeded normally then Alric would have died and the dark would rule for a thousdand years. I also thought that Alric was just a regular Joe that happend to have a crap load of power and that he wasn't a Great Hero.
