Yet another hole scuttled into my Flagship of Arguements. BUT, here comes the whole friggen Fleet!
Gurps is a book meant to promote the GURPS system of roleplaying, thus it will take liberties with the storyline to add more interest to a possible game, which is why every statement cannot be taken as Myth canon.
This means: in the eyes of Myth, the story counts #1, but in the eyes of Gurps, the role-playing gameplay is first, with the close second being the storyline, which supports the gameplay. This was a book made to show how to play Myth in GURPS style, not the official Myth history book as some people have taken it to be. Plus, not all that the book said can be hewed to, such as a statement about The Deceiver is now flourishing because he joined the Light. Apparently he didn't see the Deceiver do the opposite of flourishing: being rent to pieces. Hah! Flourishing, you say?
Besides, I do not remember a statement in GURPS that explicitly said that the Dream of Unlife was ever found. Perhaps I missed it, could you tell me where you read that? I'd like to see this since it has been awhile since I last read that dusty old tome, and I'm too lazy to find it myself :)
