The Encyclopedia is a vast tome of knowledge on all things Myth, compiled from
all official Bungie sources available, including both Myth games, PRASP maps such as
"Boil & Bubble", scenarios like "Chimera", and verbatim Bungie texts such as "Tales From
Myth The Fallen Lords", the Sybex strategy guides, GURPS Myth, and the manuals from the
games. Think of it as a cyber-Codex, with every entry cross-referenced to all other
relevant entries, accessible with a single click. For example, a shortened entry from the
What section, on the Tain:
|
Tain, The
A small device with a very unusual pocket-universe within it, where neither space or time
correspond to their outside equivilants. It was forged for
Connacht by the
Smiths of Muirthemne,
and used to imprison the Myrkridia. It was later
stolen by raiding barbarians from the south, but was eventually found by
Soulblighter and used against the
Legion during the Great War, when it was destroyed by the
avatara Murgen and Cu Roi.
Sixty years afterward, a shard of it was again used by
Soulblighter to let the
Summoner ressurect the
Myrkridia, and by
The Deceiver and the
Legion to kill the
Summoner.
Passages From The Game:
"Murgen believes that we are close to finding a backdoor. A secret exit from the Tain
added by its creators so they could escape the thing if it were ever used against them.
It will be hidden, of course, and almost certainly protected by traps, but it is our only
chance of escape."
-Myth TFL, Level 16, "The Smiths Of Muirthemne"
"I think Soulblighter lost his nerve when the Tain shattered. To him, only a few seconds
passed between the invocation of the thing and its sudden destruction, while it took us
two days to escape the caves inside it."
-Myth TFL, Level 17, "Sons of Myrgard"

The Encyclopedia is divided into four sections: Who,
What, Where, and
When. As for why or how, that's what the rest of the site is for!
"Who" is divided into sections for individual people (such as
Connacht), groups (such as the
Smiths of Muirthemne), and races (such as the
Myrkridia). "What" contains
information on all objects seen or heard of (such as the Tain).
"Where" has information on regions (such as the
Cath Bruig Empire), locations (such as
Muirthemne), specific places (such as the
Mausoleum of Clovis), and maps of the Myth world
in different time periods. Finally,
"When" contains data on periods of time (such as the
Wind Age), events (such as the
"Sack of Muirthemne"), and a timeline of events
and periods.

| A note: later sources are taken as truer than previous sources, and when paper
and digital sources (for example, a manual and a game) are released together, the digital
version is considered truer than the paper one. |

Legends and Lore is really Forrest's baby, though Gholsbane probably does more work on it nowadays. It also contains a lot of work from the Myth Nontoxic days whose exact authors have been lost or forgotten. Some of these lemurs include Joshstar, Orange, Lacrymosa, and poena.dare. Original "Journal of the Legion" concept by poena.dare and Hamish Sinclair. Other authors are credited as appropriate in their individual articles.

Myth at Bungie.org is now maintained almost entirely by Gholsbane and Zandervix; Forrest is (theoretically) still around calling the shots when he can be bothered to check his email, and Claude, as always, OWNZ U. Original Nontoxic™ webpage design copyright (c) 1998 by Joshstar; updates and revisions mostly by Forrest. Many thanks to all those old Nontoxic™ munkies - you know who you are.
