Eh, its hard to think of something good that I haven't already asked, unless I can ask questions whose answers have never been revealed. So I guess I'll just make this another open floor.

What is possibly the best description of The Octopus Overlords? Someone on the forums said it.
Edit: and who said it?(niether the player who said it, who they where saing it too, and the person that uses it as a sig can anwser)

A non-team member moved an entire empire 2 ages. Who was it, and what was the empire that had its birth changed by 2 ages?

It seems like more than 2 civs were moved. There were several references to Amurites of the Age of Magic, although it is elsewhere stated that the Amurites didn't exist until the Age of Ice, and that those references should have been to Patria. When the FfH history was updated to include references to Nemed, it was revealed that the 10 nations formed by the Patrian civil war were all among the nations formed by the Patrian civil war in the Age of Magic, instead of being formed in the Age of Rebirth as I had assumed that most of them were. (I personally don't think that most of these should not have existed yet, and that you should have made up other nations that survive the Ice Age.)
I remember that on the question of the leaders relative ages (here) you at first said that Cardith was the youngest, and then changed it. Rex rgis of Ter argued that he was older, and the next time the History section was updated the Kuriotates were made into one of the 10 nations formed by the Patrian Civil War in the Age of Magic. I complained about that, mostly for thematic reasons (the sphere of creation/fertility/new birth should be represented by the most recently born civilization).
I just noticed that the History now only lists 9 civs (the Wiki still lists all 10), and that the Kuriotates are not among them. Does this mean that the civ that was moves was the Kuriotates, and the non-team member was me? (And was the use of the word birth supposed to be a clue?)

Ah, ok.
Any chance I could convince you to move a couple more empires?
I frankly still think that only the Elohim, Bannor, and Illians should should date back to the Age of Magic. I consider most of the current civs to be smaller, less organized tribes, and the fragments of Patria to have been great empires (except maybe the Illains, who were relatively weak and backwards). While the "modern" nations may trace their heritage back to some legendary leaders of the ancient empires, I'd hardly consider them to be the same peoples or think they deserve the keep the same name. The Hippus, Lanun, and Malakim seem particularly clannish and chaotic to be the heirs of such an ancient heritage. I'd rather they have arisen from scattered tribes of refugees in the Ice Age and not fully united until under their current leaders. While Perpentach probably ruled a large kingdom before he was imprisoned in the Tower of Eyes, I view the Balseraphs as being formed by the Carnies who liberated him in the Age of Rebirth. I'm sure that Alexis and Flauros were powerful in the age of magic too, but I see the Calabim as merely a minor Ice Age tribe which Alexis chose to join to help her survive. They were hunters and mages then, not aristocrats. I'm sure Cassiel was revered by at least one faction, but (as the fortune teller in AoI says) his ideals aren't that practical. I see him (or his philosophy) to have lead one of the factions that did not survive the Ice age, and for him to have started over in the Age of Rebirth. I think there should be several Patrian factions that we have never heard of because they didn't survive the Age of Ice. These would have had some survivors of course, but the nations would have collapsed and splintered further into tiny tribes of refugees, which would later coalesce into the nations of the Age of Rebirth. (The Kuriotates should still be the youngest nation though. I'd probably place Cardith's birth centuries after some of the other leaders. I'd also probably also prefer if Einion were alive in at least the end of the Age of Ice, as he is described as ancient.) I'm also kinda annoyed by references to the Luchuirp before the Age of Ice, when the Luchuirp are merely the survivors of the Empire of Kradh-Ke-zun, which was destroyed by Mulcarn.
Anyway, I can't really think of a good question at the moment, so I guess I'll make yet another Open Floor.

The references to the Luichurp need updating, similar to the references to Patria.
I personally feel that almost ALL the Age of Rebirth Empires should be new (or, at least, newish), even the ones that pretend to come from older roots (similar to the way almost every semi-powerful nation in Europe has, at some point or other, tried to be the heir to the Roman Empire). The Bannor are not the Bannor that fell with Bhall, the Elohim are a civilisation where, in my head, they were once just a movement, and the rest are, well, survivors.
Undoubtedly they all wish they could trace their lineage to a great empire, but I'm more inclined to think of them as united by ideology rather than cultural and ethnic heritages. They are survivors of a cataclysm that clustered together with like-minded people and formed a plan for the future. Much the same way as the factions in Alpha Centauri. That is one of the best backstories ever, IMHO.

As far as I remember there is only one fact publically known about her, that she was mortal. Outside of that I dont remember ever writing (or even considering) anything further about her.

To get things back on track:
As of 0.33, which two FfH characters have similar explanations for their continued existence in Erebus?
