Well, he is a god. I'm sure he's packing some really freaky… "stuff". There was also that one time he was the mother of a horse.

In Angrboda's defense, the serpent was born as a regular sized snake.

I... feel that it would be more natural to have everyone simply converse freely and come to their own conclusions, rather than me constantly regurgitating all of the "stuff".

I feel like "stuff" is becoming too loaded a word and we should stop it right now. But I'm glad to see you're still around mate.

How are you finding the game these days dude? Still looking into the lore for events, or is just all about the core gameplay loop at this point?

There hasn't been much in the way of lore, really. And, of the stuff that is there, I have no real knowledge or input for. I know next to nothing about Chinese folklore, and the Norse stuff is mostly alien to me.
Apart from that, I've chosen not to really "try" in the game, or play competitively, until the framerate and balance nonsense is fixed.

Well the Black Prior is out. That's gonna be some nice lore.
Also, Archo-Vax, is there any chance of getting all the lore into a publically available Google Doc or some such thing so that the lore can be viewed in one area without having to tediously scroll through conversations and off-topic comments/arguments to find something specific? I feel that that could be beneficial.

Also I was scrolling through and re-reading all the lore so far. In the "Legendary Warriors" post on the names and characters we got from the orders in the "Heroes March" update, you mention a Gladiator who is said to have slain the Golden Hind. For what it's worth, I believe that refers to a creature in Greek mythology known as the Ceryneian Hind (also sometimes called the Golden Hind or the Hind of Artemis). A hind is a sort of deer, and this particular hind was a creature sacred to Artemis and her priesthood that was said to have golden horns and cloven hooves of brass. It was said to be able to outrun even the swiftest arrow.

The tale written Peisander goes that Heracles (or likely Hercules in the case of For Honor because there is a known roman-based society) was struck mad by Hera and in a fit of maddness killed his wife and children. He prayed to Apollo for guidance after his maddness had subsided and the God responded that he must enter the service of Eurystheus, King of Mycenae, for a period of 12 years. During these 12 years Hercules was to perform 12 near-impossible tasks for the King. One of these was to capture the Golden Hind.

Based on this information, I'd hazard that this Gladiator was a particularly legendary warrior of he was said to have slain such a beast.

Forgot to reference the post, sorry. It reads thus:

Asterion, the Gladiator:
"Asterion the Gladiator defeated the Mighty Golden Hind".

What is the Golden Hind? Is that a reference to some obscure real-world Gladiator thing?

[Tundra 793]

Only thing that springs to mind is that Sir Francis Drakes galleon was named the Golden Hind.

Why was this thread un-stickied by the way?
