FfH trivia game thread

Aquae Sucellus - the Waters of Sucellus
Ars Moriendi - the Art of Dying
Basium - Kiss (needs more makeup )
Caminus Aureus - the Golden Fireplace
The Nexus - something tying things together

Catacomb Libralus - pseudolatin - Catacumbae Librarii would mean catacombs of books

 

Heh, thats tough, I guess many do.
Sphener on top of my head, though I have no idea what it means.
Stygian Guard, Stygian is some underworld place in Roman (Or maybe Greek Mythology?)
I guess many leader names.
Aquae Suceluss
Malevolent Designs, Celerity and Omniscience techs
Probably may GP's

 

Eh i didn't even think of this many. Really i meant the ones that wouldn't mean anything directly in English.
Words like Stygian and Celerity are really words used in English.

So like Caminus Aureas, Catacomb Libralus, Ars Moriendi, and Aque Succullus.
but there is still at least one more genuine latin name. (with two words)

Kudos to you guys for getting all of those though, i guess i asked my question too broadly. (again)

 

In fact, celerity is english, "celeritas" would be a latin word. There are some with the same spelling - asylum, succubus, ...

Moreover, there are many greek (eidolon, necronomicon, ...), even an egyptian - sidar.

I can't find the last one

 

Eurubatres? Black Dragon

 

More time, or the Boatman's turn?

 

His turn, I'd say, I didn't even see his post above mine cause I had probs with PC before I posted and later just retyped it. Had I seen it I wouldn't post mine

 

Okay--the last one was Letum Frigis. Your turn TheBoatman.

 

That's from AoI? I haven't had time yet to play it.

BTW I think it should be Letum Frigidum, if it means a cold ruin.

I enjoy the way FfH2 uses various mythologies and religions because I have languages as a hobby. It shows that Kael has had a lot of time to improve his D&D campaigns.

The question (quite easy):
There is one mythology that is a dominant source of angel's names (13 of 21, if i'm correct), which one is it?
You can name other sources as a bonus.

 

Jewish?
Others are Norse, Greek and Roman, but I think old Christian- Jewish was most influential one.

 

Nope it's Celtic. Jewish is the origen of most of the civs.

 

Assuming I'm right, i'll ask a follow-up question. Which of the angels are from celtic mythology.

 

*cough*cough*

 

Ceridwen, or Kerridwen, wife of Tegid Fodel, mother of Gwion Bach and Afagddu ?

 

That's one, still any more.

 

Hmm, well there's Sirona... Positively Celtic, not so sure shes an angel.

Edited: Angel of Wisdom, Spirit Mana, "Shrine of Sirona". I guess that's her.

 

Oh, do you want all of them ?

* Lugus- Angel of Light (Sun)

* Sirona- Angel of Wisdom (Spirit)

* Nantosuelta- Angel of Faith (Enchantment)

* Sucellus- Angel of Growth (Life)

* Amathaon- Angel of Fertility (Creation)

* Arawn- Angel of Death (Death)

* Oghma- Angel of Knowledge (Metamagic)

* Dagda- Angel of Balance (Force)

* Cernunnos- Angel of Nature (Nature)

* Camulos- Angel of Peace (Chaos)

* Aeron- Angel of Strength (Body) (not a celtic god, but celtic word, so...).

* Ceridwen- Angel of the Stars (Dimensional)

* Esus- Angel of Trust (Shadow)

 

The non celtic:


* Bhall- Angel of Fire (Fire)
From Jewish mythology, Ba'al ?

* Junil- Angel of Justice (Law)
No idea.

* Danalin- Angel of the Water (Water)
No, no idea either. Beware his nightmares, tho.

* Kilmorph- Angel of the Earth (Earth)
Nopes, no clue.

* Tali- Angel of the Air (Air)
Dharmic origin, but absolutely not positive about my source.

* Mammon- Angel of Foresight (Mind)
Notorious, judaism origin.

* Mulcarn- Angel of Ice (Winter)
KILL HIM! KILL HIM! KILL HIM!

* Agares- Angel of Hope (Entropy)
Second Sphere Fallen Angel, according to John Milton's paradise lost.

 

You've certainly earned the next question.

 

Thank you !

I've got a question Im not positive about the answer, tho.

Why is Dain (called) the Caswallawn ? (Not what after, why)
