Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Macha

Wow...lotta discussion happened while I was out, um...

I'll agree with the fact that my Statue Morrighan Theory is baseless and thus unreliable as truth. I just wanted to bring up the note that the idea of Morrighan literally still being a statue seems awkward considering she has, in a sense, appeared as something other than a statue on multiple occasions. Disregarding the fact that most of her appearances are in places other than Erinn, I'm just saying "Yeah...she's not a statue" As I did state in the earlier text, yes they destroyed SOME statues, not sure why that's being brought up for criticism when it simply attempts to support the note that yet again, Morrighan ISN'T a statue. I didn't say whether the book was true or false, simply that in terms of G1 and G3 it is from what I remember the ONLY ingame literature to state and/or support the idea that Morrighan had turned into a statue at some point in time. Short of that, it is only widely stated that the Statues protect Erinn from large-scale fomorian invasions.

Cichol's...(since we can't call it death/revival for sure) departure and return to the world is, as stated, unclear and thus difficult to debate if possible to begin with. It would probably be more convenient presently to leave this issue with "Cichol's a God, expect anything to be possible" and come back to it when/if future generations shed more light on this incident.

Regarding Macha, Dorca Feadhain is Army of Darkness, thank you for the correction/recap. This keyword is brought up during G3's Alby Dungeon Statue Restoration Cutscene in the Boss room (you know, when Ruairi kicks your ass for the 2nd time?) Conversations with NPCs (Mostly Tarlach and some Price/Meven/Aodhan) following that cutscene suggest it to be a very powerful army (Looking at it now, I may have had a misconception regarding their loyalty or purpose to Macha so if that is off-base I apologize). In the Cutscene itself, Cichol mentions to Ruairi, now turned Dark Knight, that his role is to lead Dorca Feadhain to Erinn and...(I guess cause mass havoc or something like that.)

Regarding Dark Knights, whether fomors are or are not a third-party to the Dark Knight existence was to my knowledge never quite explained. My basis of stating the armor was believed to be a weapon of fomors was the note that the Dark Knight-exclusive skill Control of Darkness literally uses Fomor Scrolls as a catalyst and that in order to obtain Dark Knight as a permanent change, you need to converse with a Black Wizard, which regards himself (well, not himself but the OTHER Black Wizard you run into during G1 Barri Brown) as a fomor.

As for the whole "correcting the past mistakes of humanity" gig, I think that was just an ideal that both Morgant and Ruairi shared, Morgant seeing issues with humanity as a whole as Lugh and Ruairi answering to all the twisted sh** that happened in Emain Macha starting with his old man all the way to Esras. The idea that Spirit of Chaos supports self-indulgence and selfishness was based on the cutscenes from Duncan's long-lost friend Ilis (Crippled and was granted the desire to be able to walk again) and literature text from a book of research records by names Punbar and Wallace (Researchers who wished to study the armor only to fall to desire and put on the armor themselves).

If you need me to cite my explanations, I can try to find something here and there.

In terms of Fomor Scrolls, in Korea they're called Evil Scrolls, not Fomor Scrolls. NA also mistranslated various instances of the word Demon was the word Fomor. Evil Scrolls were something the druids actually invented (I think Tarlach specifically), not the Fomors. The Fomors just use it themselves as well.
