FfH trivia game thread

The Illians I believe

 

[MagisterCultuum]

So very wrong....

The correct answer is a civ that was not even present in Erebus during the Age of Ice, much less in the AoI Scenario.

 

[loki1232]

Also the Illians aren't playable. Is it the infernals?

 

[xienwolf]

"I had a dream of a city plunged into the abyss, a place of eternal night and fire. Those people, surrounded by demons, are fighting to return to creation. They have hope in a barren world and memories of the joys of this world."

"Yet here we stand in their paradise and see nothing but loss around us. You have not seen victory beyond a single successful hunt, and often too many days between those. The empire of men has been broken, but we will reforge it here. We will fight through this world and claim it again for men, and if those in hell do return there will be a world here worth their efforts."

-Kylorin, speaking to the Amurite army at the battle of Adenshire​

Sounds like the Bannor to me.

 

[Mewtarthio]

Congratulations, Xienwolf! I was indeed thinking of the Bannor.

 

[xienwolf]

Who is the King of Braduk?

 

[MagisterCultuum]

It was obviously the Bannor, but I couldn't say anything. Oddly, the Ilians are playable if you select their leader (Auric Ulvin) but not if you try to select the civilization alone (you can't play them in unrestricted leaders)


Orthus

 

[xienwolf]

Nope, not Orthus But it is his drinking buddy.

 

[Kael]

I was so confused as to how Xienwolf could have gotten the answer to that question as I didn't ever remember talking about Braduk before the fall of Bhall. The King (at that time) isn't even mentioned in the mod, though his wife is one of the great sages (Menolly NuValle) as she was an incredible fire archmage.

 

[Ur_Vile_Wedge]

Well, Sheelba is mentioned as being the Jonas's queen, in Rantine's civelopedia entry. Rantine doesn't seem to fit as a "drinking buddy of Orthus's", given that he tried to stop the war, so I'm going to put a tentative guess on Jonas Endain

 

[xienwolf]

Not Jonas either

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Khord NuValle from one of Kael's D&D Campaigns

Of course, that wasn't really in Erebus, and was probably a different Braduk and a different Orthus. After all, the ground itself in that world was the corpse of Muclarn, and the seas of mist his blood.



Ok, having not thought of somehting new I'll go with the question I asked last time before I switched it (or something very close):

What was the highest point of hell, and when was a vision of it seen?

 

[Kael]

Khord NuValle

From Kael's D&D Campaign

Wow, I didnt even know that was out there! But yeah, thats directly from one of the campaigns and isn't canon at all (but Khord was the King of Braduk before the fall).

 

[xienwolf]

Yeah I figured you would get it if I gave you the information on the Blue Dragon that I found in there. Your turn.

 

[Kael]

Sorry to step on your question Xienwolf, I had no idea that info was out there.

That was a really fun D&D campaign. There is a lot of characters that are similiar to their FfH equivilants but it definitly doesnt match directly. Barnaxus was a golem in that campaign made by a player. He was named after a handicaped doppleganger the party met early in their careers.

For those that dont know dopplegangers in D&D are typically evil creatures that can read minds and change their shape. They usually use their abilities to kill and copy their victims.

But poor Barnaxus had a very limited mind reading ability (its closer to say he had a lot of empathy) and no direct control on his shape shifting. Instead he was a "personality chameleon". Whoever he was dealing with he would start to slowly become, mirroring their attitude, habits and personality. Over time he would start to look similiar to him. But he was cast out of the dopplegangers for being essentially handicapped.

But he was a very nice person, at least hwen he hung around nice people. And he was endlessly loyal (after all he often felt exactly as you did about everything). The party oftened used his empathy to their advantage, having him hang out without people they wanted to learn more about or occasionally dealing with his slowly shifting attitudes when he spent to much time with others, or revealed someones hidden intentions by picking them up himself.

They became pretty good friends with their broken doppleganger. So much so that late in their career when the player went to make a golem he named it after his friend from long ago.

 

[xienwolf]

Yeah, I loved reading the thread, and I figured that was one of the things which would make it into "Canon" FfH eventually. I nearly asked what the name of the golem made BEFORE Barnaxus was, but that one I doubted would still be valid in this world

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Has anyone noticed that I asked my question already? (this isn't it)

 

[Love]

Empire State Building?

 

[zxcvbnm]

Mulcarn's throne on the top of the mountain Mulyr is the highest point of Hell in elevation, but not in status

The vision of it was seen three weeks before the fall of Bhall brought a rain of fire upon Creation

 

[MagisterCultuum]

correct (assuming weeks are of equal length here and in Erebus)

Also, it was seen as Kyorlin was burying Epona.
