THE DECEIVER
The Deceiver

Saturday January 10, Angurvadal Glacier, the Cloudspine

As soon as Twelve Motion Jeweled Skull pried The Deceiver's scepter from the Dramus' icy clutches, we fled the Stair of Grief and headed north in search of the man himself.

Still this accursed storm rages, killing as surely as a Thrall's ax or a Myrkridia's claws. Reiftyr's death brings our losses from the storm to three.

Our scouts have brought back news of an odd group of men who have gathered nearby. From their description alone, Twelve Motion recognized them as Warlocks from the Scholomance, ancient allies of The Deceiver and collaborators of the Fallen Lords. If they are on the glacier, then so is The Deceiver.

The enemy is still close at our heels. We all wonder how they have been able to pursue us despite the horrendous weather and the best efforts of our scouts to conceal our tracks. Perhaps they were drawn to something other than us.

Does Soulblighter seek to enlist the aid of yet another of his former allies? It seems unlikely once you consider the intense hatred the rest of the Fallen Lords had for The Deceiver. Only Balor seemed capable of holding them together, and even he was not always successful. Many stories from the Great War tell of open discord between the Fallen Lords.

Now we will take advantage of it. We have devised a plan for the Berserks to lead our pursuers directly into the Warlocks' clutches. We should be able to sneak in and revive The Deceiver during the ensuing chaos.

It has been nearly a month since we left King Alric and the rest of the Legion at White Falls. I can only imagine the terrible battle that must have been waged there in our absence.

 

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

Mission Objective: Search the glacier for the Deceiver. Find him before Soulblighter's forces kill him. Use the Deceiver's scepter and an incantation to revive him.

Notable Quote:
JOURNEYMAN:
"Do you remember the words you must say over him?"

BERSERK:
"Aye, aye, aye..."

JOURNEYMAN:
"Well recite them."

BERSERK:
"Look, I ken the words, now get moving!"

[. . .]

BERSERK:
"Er... claptrap verboso... um... neckbone."

DECEIVER:
"Close enough, now let us away..."

Notes: You can beat this level without ever engaging in combat, theoretically.

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 Nontoxicâ„¢ webpage design copyright (c) 1998 by Joshstar; updates and revisions mostly by Forrest. Many thanks to all those old Nontoxicâ„¢ munkies - you know who you are.
