I've created this thread to respond to comments originally posted in the Bug Thread.
Alternately, I don't see any specific reason to tie Meshabber's name to the AV holy city. It would make more sense to me if he was "Meshabber of [city the builds him]". In any case, renaming him Meshabber of Galveholm would be nearly as flawed, because AV is very rarely going to be founded there, if ever. Unless the Sheaim found it, and unless they have only one city, it will probably be founded somewhere else.
In any case, the solution to being bothered by Meshabber's name is simple: Rename him.
Divine + Channeling II (and AV religion, of course) would give Ring of Flames. Fire II gives Fireball, with or without Divine. It seems intentional that he has Divine and Fire II but not Channeling II. The "advantage" of Meshabber having Fireball rather than Ring of Flames is that he can bombard city defenses, making him a versatile conqueror.[to_xp]Gekko;8398580 said:the Meshabber of Dis just gets fireball, since he has the divine promotion and should have AV though I think he should also have ring of fire or something?
My guess is that wherever the Infernals come from (I don't know enough about the lore to know if it's called Hell, or something else) there is a city called Dis, to which Meshabber's name refers. The Dis on this plane would actually be "New Dis", if you will. Maybe it's the Infernal custom to name their first city on every new plane "Dis", because the city is so well known; perhaps there have been thousands of cities named "Dis" on thousands of planes.This is not a bug, but just something that bothers me about Meshabber of Dis: He can only be built in the Ashen Veil holy city, which cannot possibly be Dis. Meshabber of Galveholm or something like that would really be a better name.
