GATE OF STORMS
Gate of Storms

Friday October 10, Madrigal

Soulblighter cannot be stopped. His armies foul the land south of us for half a thousand miles, and his search for The Summoner has left none alive within his reach.

The cities of Scales, Covenant and Tyr have all fallen to him in the last three weeks. It seems that too many years of peace have softened the once legendary armies of the West. Rabican, Murgen and Maeldun have been dead sixty years, and today only Alric remains of the great leaders who defeated the Fallen Lords.

Survivors reached us from the garrison at Tyr today, confirming the city's destruction. One among them told us of being captured and dragged before a woman so disfigured by injury and age that he turned from her, repulsed. In a rage, she gouged out his eyes and shrieked "Tell Alric his nightmare has just begun!" and released him to stumble out of the conquered city.

I believe something about the message has unsettled our king. Today he sent what is left of our army north to the city of Tandem. Their instructions were to gather as many able bodied men as they could along the way and wait for him in Tandem.

King Alric is staying in Madrigal with a mere handful of men in order to make sure that no one is left behind. Only then will he withdraw from the city.

With everything else that's happened in the last couple of months, snow this early in the year is hardly worthy of note. At the moment it isn't coming down hard enough to impede Soulblighter's advance on Madrigal, but there's always hope.

 

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

Mission Objective: The ship, Vigilance, is waiting at the docks. Get Alric aboard the ship.

Notable Quote: "Your Majesty! The Gate of Storms has fallen."

Notes: After all we've been led to think about the horrible Myrkridia, the guys we meet on this level are a bit of a dissapointment. Wouldn't you agree?

The following are the pregame pics for this level.

Okay Soublighty, I think it's unanimous: you are one badass mofo.

I always wondered what those guys looked like.

"Say she looks pretty!"

If you win this level you see Alric standing mightily on the bow of the Vigilance.

"Thar she blows!"

If you lose this level you see a nightmare made flesh tearing Alric apart.

Now THAT's a Myrkridia. Why can't they look like that in the game?

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.
