MYTH II GLOSSARY — 2026-09-16

This is the quick terminology layer for the local Reference Book. Entries are paraphrased and labelled so a familiar word does not become an unsupported claim.

TERM | PLAIN MEANING | LEVEL | BOUNDARY
Light | Allied side in standard campaign context. | DOCUMENTED local usage | Factions can vary by map or custom content.
Dark | Opposing side in standard campaign context. | DOCUMENTED local usage | Custom maps may rename or rearrange factions.
Fallen Lords | Earlier generation of powerful enemies whose legacy frames Soulblighter. | DOCUMENTED local history | Complete in-game journal capture remains open.
Soulblighter | Returning central antagonist of Myth II. | DOCUMENTED local history | Dossier separates campaign fact from transcript detail.
Tain | Artifact associated with imprisonment of the Myrkridia and the Great War record. | DOCUMENTED + FAN CROSS-CHECK | Fan transcript is not sole canon proof.
Myrkridia | Ancient/returned enemy people in the campaign conflict. | DOCUMENTED local history + unit cross-check | Variants and tag identities need separate audit.
Wight / Soulless plate | Supplied visual plate labelled “wight” is retained as the Soulless study. | OBSERVED project mapping | Not canonical tag proof.
Myrk / Myrkridia plate | Supplied visual item previously listed as “ghoul” is retained as Myrk/Myrkridia study. | OBSERVED project mapping | Preserve original label; do not rewrite as canonical sprite name.
Ghast / Thrall plate | Supplied visual plate labelled “thrall” is retained as Ghast study. | OBSERVED project mapping | Canonical sprite/palette/tag pairing remains open.
Thrall | Undead unit term in the manual cross-check and local unit guide. | DOCUMENTED (manual cross-check) | Do not conflate with the observed plate correction.
Ghast | Separate local study label mapped from supplied “thrall” plate. | OBSERVED project mapping | Runtime identity needs tag/sprite capture.
Journeyman | Support unit; manual cross-check records healing interactions including undead. | DOCUMENTED (manual cross-check) | Controlled current-build test remains open.
Loathing | Map editor/workflow in the local modding notes. | DOCUMENTED tool context | Editor layout is not runtime proof.
Cluster-map overlay | Proposed color-density view of battlefield unit concentrations. | UNKNOWN / PROPOSED | Needs telemetry, legend, and offline replay validation.

READING RULE
When a term has both a canonical name and a project display label, keep both visible. Observed records show supplied material; documented records have cited support; tested requires a reproducible runtime check.
