THE GREAT DEVOID
THE SURVIVORS OF RHI'ANON ARRIVE AT THE GREAT DEVOID WITH BALOR'S HEAD. |
Tuesday July 21, The Great Devoid
"Balor has been killed before," Alric told us after we raised
the Myrkridian standard, "and each time it has only made him more
powerful. Our best hope is to cut off his head, and hurl it into
the Great Devoid. Only in this way will the world be rid of him
forever."
As Balor approached, Alric drew from his robe one of the five
Eblis Stones, and for a few moments it made him an equal of Balor.
I have no doubt that this is what was brought to him yesterday,
though where it was found or how Alric arranged for it to be delivered
I have no idea. I am only certain that he must have set this plan
in motion months ago.
There are fewer than thirty of us now, most of whom are men I've
never seen before. The rest of the Legion was sacrificed in front
of the fortress, to give us time to take Balor's head while Alric
held him motionless.
After writing these last lines, I will bury this manuscript so
that it may survive even if we do not. After all the danger we
have faced, it seems ridiculous to do that only now. I cannot
see what could possibly stand between us and the Great Devoid,
only a few thousand yards away. |

Go to the Field Guide Entry documenting this level's easter eggs and points of interest with
pictures.
Mission Objective: Throw Balor's head into The Great Devoid.
Notable Quote: "Who decided we should go this way?"
Notes: Soulblighter is classified as undead and can thus be "unhealed"
with your jman. |

This appears to be a graphic showing Alric removing the cloth
that held the Eblis Stone. |

See that crow? Remember what Soulblighter turned into when you
approached in Flight from the Covenent? Thats forshadowing |
| Af the level there is a cutscene that we can draw some information from. Here are the different
scenes shown in the movie. |
This is the same statue that we encounter at the very beginning
of the mission. We can identify what it is in the field guide. |
Check the field guide for a number of interesting ings found in
this scene where bodyparts fly across the screen from the dead
legion. |
| This is the most important cutscene of the game. It's pretty obvious
there are tons of secrets in it which is why Bungie crippled it
(of course, it could just be so you're forced to watch the credits
go by; it doesn't accept any keystrokes, so you can't abort that
movie, but you can't take screen captures either). Yes, they crippled
the last cutscene. Don't believe me? try taking a snapshot of
it. But we outsmarted them by extracting the mesh from Crow's
Bridge and changing it to play this cutscene instead of the one
it was supposed to play. Be sure to check the field guide for
some secrets hidden in this scene. |

If you lose this level you see Soulblighter has reclaimed the head.
Sooo Close.

Found anything we've missed? Got a theory that fits? Have a correction to make?
Please post it in The Asylum so others can add their ideas and thoughts.

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.
