SOULBLIGHTER RETURNS FROM THE UNTAMED LANDS IN THE SOUTH AND ATTACKS THE LEGION.

Tuesday May 19, The Edge of Forest Heart

It's spring again, and after five months of rest the Legion is once more on the move. Last week we passed through Seven Gates into the eastern lands over the Cloudspine. The Fallen seem to have abandoned the mountains, but for what reason we cannot tell.

The Legion is here alone, camped on the edge of Forest Heart and dangerously far into the territory of the enemy. Two of the Nine are with us, Cu Roi and Murgen, trying to make contact with the forest giants who live in this place, to beg their help against the Dark.

No man has seen one of the giants since the first battle for Seven Gates thirteen years ago. They helped contain the fury of Balor himself for three years, but on the fourth they did not return and the pass was lost.

One of our scouts just came crashing through the brush, winded, and a crowd of excited men has gathered around him. Someone hurrying out of the group paused beside me long enough to say, "Soulblighter is here. Put that in your journal."

 

Go to the Field Guide Entry documenting this level's easter eggs and points of interest with pictures.

Mission Objective: Find and kill the four Trow generals of Soulblighter's army.

Notable Quote: "Soulblighter is here! Our scouts are dead!"

"One of our scouts just came crashing through the brush, winded, and a crowd of excited men has gathered around him. Someone hurrying out of the group paused beside me long enough to say, "Soulblighter is here. Put that in your journal."

Are one of these guys the narrator then? One would infer yes, but which one?

Before the level starts there is a cutscene that we can draw some information from. Here are the different scenes shown in the movie.
Scene 1
Soulblighter is overlooking the excavation effort when suddenly...
Scene 2
A beam of light erupts from the hole in the ground.
Scene 3
Yes, it's confirmed, Soulblighter is worse off then Weevil's mom in the looks department it appears.
Scene 4
Soulblighter is eyeing the tain with the glimmer in his eyes.
The only purpose is that of foreshadowing your demise. You're about the be locked up inside that bad boy

If you win this level you see your forces cheering, and Forest Giants inspecting a broken Tain.

This is intriguing. After we finish Forest Heart, we are teleported inside The Tain by Soulblighter. Then moments later The Tain shattered within his hand. So, why is a giant picking it up? and why are we cheering in the background?

The following is from the journal entry for Sons of Myrgard:

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.

Anyway, he didn't stick around to figure out what went wrong.

Foreshadowing our 'immediate' release from the Tain. Soulblighter imprisons us in the Tain and then we escape and it shatters in his hands, all within a brief period of time because time doesn't really pass for us in the Tain. So there we are already escaped from the Tain and cheering, and the forrest giants are picking up the remains of the shattered Tain that Soulblighter just tossed aside before taking off.

If you lose you see a dead forest giant consumed by fire.

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.
