Who is pictured on a Somnium card?

Looking only at screenshots, I see Abashi, the Black Dragon.

....

Spoiler :

(Bottom row, 7 of Dragons.)

EDIT: If I am correct: what civilizations do not start with the mana of their patron god, and of these, which one is a particularly unique case?

 

[Pyr0mancer]

Hmm, not sure if my civ-god matches are right, but: Illians don't have Ice mana, Sidar don't have Death mana, Kuriotates don't have uh... creation mana?, and Grigori don't really have a patron god.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Kuriotates don't have Creation, Sheaim don't have Dimensional, Grigori don't have Force, and Illians dont have ice, because those mana types are not implemented yet.

Grigori don't exactly have a patron god, but their sphere is force, and Cassiel was Dagda's archangel. Similarly, Basium hates the god who represents his sphere (life), so I wouldn't exactly consider Sucellus the Mercurian patron god (they still have life mana though).

I'm guessing that the "unique case" is the Sidar, who lack death mana because, they, like the god of death himself, despise (un)death magic.

edit: I just realized I'd said the Grigori sphere was dimensional, which is quite wrong.

Indeed. I should have said "patron sphere," but at any rate it is indeed the Sidar that are unique; they are the only civ who don't have their sphere as starting mana even though it is implemented. Your turn.

 

[civ_king]

what civ am i thinking of?

EDIT: oops i didnt notice this page

 

[mahazel]

If only MC permit, I have a question:

What was the main (or maybe even the only one) reason for Kylorin to choose the Amuriete tribe?

 

[El_Duderino]

well until MC gets back ill answer Elohim for civ king and eve (epona, she had a few names) for mahazel
but if its an open table name three calabim generals

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Sheol, Perdion, and Losha Valas.


I'l go with an easy one: What are the 3 ways to become invisible?

 

[Nikis-Knight]

Become a Shadow, cast hide if you have the hidden promotion, such as a Sidar Ghost, and step out of a city if you own the Nox Noctis.

Spoiler not my turn :

Next question: Where did Orthus get his axe?

 

[MagisterCultuum]

No, I meant lore-wise. These are explicitly listed in one of the new 'pedia entries (Beltane Cycle).

(Also, hide requires Stealth, and gives hidden.)

 

[Nikis-Knight]

(Also, hide requires Stealth, and gives hidden.)

Ah, well, you should have specified. I'll let someone else answer now that you gave such a nice hint, though.

 

[KillerClowns]

Without checking the Cycle...
Sci-fi style: Make the light go around you.
Camo style: Make an illusion of what is behind you
Weatherwax style: Make it so people don't notice you even though you are perfectly visible.

 

[evanb]

Weatherwax style: Make it so people don't notice you even though you are perfectly visible.

I knew that 3rd one sounded familiar...

 

[KillerClowns]

Well, I checked the Cycle of Beltane and I'm pretty sure I covered it well enough.
Open floor, ladies.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Yeah, while I'm not familiar enough with discworld to know if Weatherwax uses the same method Hemah used to get close to Thessa, you are definately close enough.

Since you said open floor, how about we just go with Nikis-Knight's question?

Where did Orthus get his axe?

 

[El_Duderino]

Jonas lost it to him in a Somnium game

 

[Nikis-Knight]

Hint: Some civs have new pedia entries for their civ.

 

[Saytr]

The Holy Sceptre of the High Priest of Bhall was affixed with a brutal axe head by the Orc warlord Orthus, and many nascent tribes fell to it's power.
- The Clan of Embers Civilopdeia Entry

So Orthus took (or was given) the Rod of Bhall as a symbol of power/her favour.

If I'm correct, which empire to Banshees live in?

 

[Darksaber1]

Sheim?
