Myth (series) - Storyline

Storyline

In the world of Myth, the forces of Light and Dark rule the world successively in a thousand-year cycle which has repeated since before recorded history. Every cycle climaxes in the arrival of The Leveler, whose approach (and fall) is heralded by an ominous comet that appears in the sky. The Leveler inhabits the body of the hero who defeated him in the previous cycle — thus the hero who saves civilization is doomed to destroy it.
