Myth II: Gonen's Bridge Index Myth II: The Great Library BEYOND THE CLOUDSPINE Wednesday September 17, Plain of Scales Cruniac is dead. Our sergeant, Garrick, says he saw the commander and half of the color guard running like hell back through the lines ordering a general retreat. When Garrick caught up with him, Cruniac collapsed; he had been holding his guts in with his shield. Cruniac's last words were of the bravery of the color guard, who had given their lives trying to save him even as Soulblighter had delivered the killing blow. Soulblighter... I have not heard that name since the days of my youth, when my grandfather would tell me stories of the Great War. According to legend, Soulblighter was killed in the last battle of that war, when Balor's severed head was thrown into the Great Devoid and the armies of the dead collapsed. But after the horrors I have witnessed so far, no tale is too terrible to be believed. And if Soulblighter is alive and the minions of the dark have risen to do his bidding, the events of the last few weeks begin to make sense. All of us agree we must reach Madrigal and King Alric soon. But it would take months to get to Madrigal on foot. Garrick believes there is a World Knot directly west of us on the other side of the Cloudspine. Although it was destroyed during the Great War, the Dwarves seem confident they will be able to repair it. This I will have to see for myself. As we were breaking camp, Garrick handed me a journal he had recovered from Croniac's belongings. The commander must have taken it from one of the Baron's libraries. What significance it may have had to Croniac I do not know, other than it appears to have been written by a man who served in the Legion during the Great War.   Go to the Field Guide Entry documenting this level's easter eggs and points of interest with pictures. Mission Objective: Reach the World Knot with your Dwarves. Use the Dwarves to repair it. Enter the World Knot to escape. Notable Quote: "So they've finally toppled the mad, deadly, world-wide, gangster, communist, frankenstein computer god!" Notes: This level takes place in the same location as the Myth:TFL level "Force Ten From Stoneheim", and the heightmap is almost identical. The following are the pregame pics for this level. "Cruniac is dead. Our sergeant, Garrick, says he saw the commander and half of the color guard running like hell back through the lines ordering a general retreat."   "When Garrick caught up with him, Cruniac collapsed; he had been holding his guts in with his shield."   This pic is present in the tags, but never used. I wonder why?   "Cruniac's last words were of the bravery of the color guard, who had given their lives trying to save him even as Soulblighter had delivered the killing blow."   "Soulblighter..."   "I have not heard that name since the days of my youth, when my grandfather would tell me stories of the Great War. According to legend, Soulblighter was killed in the last battle of that war, when Balor's severed head was thrown into the Great Devoid and the armies of the dead collapsed."   "As we were breaking camp, Garrick handed me a journal he had recovered from Croniac's belongings. The commander must have taken it from one of the Baron's libraries." If you win this level you see your forces teleporting away to Madrigal. This is remarkably similar to the win screen for the next level. If you lose this level you see a Thrall holding a piece of a World Knot symbol. Does this look familiar?
