Where did that name come from?

[Bob the Archer]

There are a lot of names in Clan Lord (not player names, NPC and Location names) that have a relevence that not all of us realize.

Some of the Punny names are painfully clear. Some of the others are more classical references.

Trolius, for example, is from Shakespere, the faithful Lover of the faithless Cresseda.

What are some of the other names that you're thinking of Bob?

I didn't know about Troilus - that's cool.
Apparently there are also Geoffrey Chaucer poems: Troilus and Criseyde.


I tried to think of some and my mind just went blank. Still sleepy I think :)
Anyways, I had to cheat. To start, here's a list of some NPCs from that package recipients list or Aravir's:

[Meander]

Horus is a pretty easy one.

[Lorikeet]

Yes, and I was particulary pleased when one of my Egyptian students gave me a picture of Horus as a present. No, she didn't know how appropriate it was...;)

[Kirth Gersen]

And we have our beloved myrm...

Ant in Swedish is myra, by the way.
