| Names of skils but where are the people? |
|
|
|
I was playing my favorite proffession ritualist yesterday doing some pvp and thought about where the names of these spells came from. All the other proffession have a source like vetera, tenai, karie, zojun, and etc. But ritualist spells aren't really explained. Like mighty was vorizun and blind was mingson, who were these people? The only ritualist spell that is explained was destructive was gliave. This person started the cosair war's in Elona so they were destructive. Where is the backstory for the ritualist item spells? I want to know because if I am holding their ashes I should know who they were.

It is a bit unfair to make them think of a backstory for everything... like real religions have the ashes of x saint, you'd never have heard about the saint before you see the relic....

I don't mean like a huge backstory for everything but when someone's name is on a skill then there should be some explaination. Tenai's wind, crystal, and heat has a backstory just because it has her name in it. Whereas wirlwind, crystal wave, and searing heat do not have any name in them but do the exact same thign as the tenai series of skills.
Normally with ashes x saint has a reason why that person is a sain and why their ashes are "holy". I do not mean something fancy like that. For example cruel was daoshen could just be based off of a guy who was a creul war monger. Antoher reason why i think it is weird that the other skills are based off of a character is because of the tahankie temple mission. All those costructs are heroes who use skills named after them except for vizu and the ritualist guy. Whats strange is with all these weapon/item spells named after people but the ritualist hero has none named after him.

Well, Sogolon was a NF hero (Vocal Was Sogolon)
If you talk to the Henchmen called Sogolon, he might say that he was named after the great Hero Sogolon.
Plus, in a Quest in Istani you can talk with the ghost of Sogolon, if I'm not wrong...
