Myth

The myth of the story centers around a deity which appears in this world in cycles of a thousand years, at the arrival of a comet. During one cycle the deity will appear as a Saviour; in the next, as a Destroyer.
At the beginning of Myth, The Fallen Lords, the Dark deity has returned in the guise of "Ashfear" The Leveler. This Destroyer has brought with him six others who became known as the "Fallen Lords", a group of resurrected and powerful generals. Three of the Fallen Lords were from the distant past, Soulblighter, The Voiceless One and Bahl'al and the others, Bonespliter, The Deceiver and the Faceless Man were turned from The Light by Ashfear. These beings and their legions of undid and spirit forces rise up to destroy the living beings of this world, while the player controls the living and tries to stop the onslaught.
Forces of the Fallen include zombie-like Thrall with axes, shadowy Menhir with poisoned daggers and nimble Ghols, who lope around the battlefield carrying huge cleavers. Forces of the living include Fir'bolg archers, doughty Warriors and the indomitable Dwarf, who throws explosive Molotov cocktails and can drop mine-like satchel charges.
