Thanks, Esano. I never thought before to use DARKCHANT LICHDOM without a target.

Crazen has pretty much been entertaining himself pretending to be a real god in the undervault, AFAIK, no major disturbances out of him yet.
I think he counts as a 'real god' technically.
I still wanna see that quest done, wonder if Gaudi would be cool with my alt there doing it...

Who is the other true ascendant besides Shuyin, Ilyarin and Viynain? Or are those the only three and I'm confused? And did they get to pick their new names, or were they given by the admins as soon as they secured the staff?

There are only three. And yes, they got to pick their names (the entire world is frozen and nobody can do -anything at all- while they decide if they want a new name. So do try not to be hunting an NPC or be around aggressive ones when that happens)

Depends. You can end a fight against a low-health person mighty quick.
Unknown2010-01-21 06:20:45
Yeah, haymaker is only really effective against people who you don't need it to be effective against... can mangle them good, though, especially if they haven't got enough resilience to shrug your poisons (or die outright).

The wiki for the term sucks, but in mythology, a homunculus was a small human body animated by means of sorcery, basically. They were usually known to be twisted or malformed in some way, as if they hadn't been fully formed before being made. They were often used as forced labour/focal points for magic/stuff to put on a shelf in a jar and forget. I haven't gotten a really good look at Viravain's, but I think it's basically an animated rosebush with a young female in the middle.
If you've ever watched a fantasy movie where a whole baby corpse was in a jar full of liquid on a shelf, that's basically a homunculus. Crude, but meh.

Yes, but only if by 'mythology' you mean twentieth century horror movies.
What the word is really all about is sperm. Each sperm is a little homunuculus which is then baked in the oven of the womb until it becomes a baby.

Would it be feasible to make Mayostard, Mustardayonaise, or Mayostardustardayonaise?

Homunculi are actually artificial human beings that came to be when someone tries to revive a dead person through transmutation.

Homunculi are little people that live in your head.

I think Fain is referring to the medieval belief that rather than providing one half of the materials in reproduction, men "grew" little people (homunculi) and women just provided a receptive vessel.

This, it was once believed each sperm contained a homunculus that then grew in the womb. And all Homunculus means is miniature human and can be used for any representation of a human. In alchemy there was the idea of creating a artificial human,a homunculus, which is what that mob is probably based on.
Shiri2010-01-21 16:16:03
"Little people who live in the head" is another historical conception though, which is where philosophical accusations of an argument relying on homunculi come from...there's also the psychological usage of a rather oddly proportioned man representing the emphasis the brain gives sensory input from the various parts of the body. (Also, upside-down?)
