Myths section[[edit source]]
It is frequently reported on Doctor Who sites(as well as Wikipedia!) that the War Chief dies in this story. However, there is nothing that suggests that. Quite the opposite in fact. The crux of the matter is of course that The War Chief underwent a partial regeneration after the events of The War Games, and is now a deformed man, unable to utilise his remaining regenerations. However, the last mention of the character in the book states "Ace saw, just for a second, a young man, tall, dark, and satanically handsome, reaching up to her... The door closed, the TARDIS dematerialized, and they were gone." The young man is clearly the War Chief. "Young, tall, dark, and satanically handsome" is NOT the description of the deformed character earlier in the book. Thus the explosion in the Drachensberg Tower clearly and unambiguously triggered a regeneration. The Doctor and Ace immediately leave. And the War Chief has survived(NOT died!) and regenerated! Yet, certain factually dubious websites and guide books state that he "died" here "for good"! 41.133.0.18talk to me 15:13, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
Myths section[[edit source]]
I've removed the myths section it added this piece of information to the article:
- It was believed prior to The War Chief is killed. (The explosion actually triggers his regeneration)
Myths sections are not used on novel articles (see Tardis:Format for novels). However if this information was reported prior to the novel's publication such as in DWM then it'd be valid to go in the article's Notes section (properly sourced). It needn't be in a separate subsection however. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:16, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
