Basically, just use this topic to discuss the name origins for anything and everything in Yggdra Union. I HAVE NOTHING TO START THE TOPIC WITH SO I'LL JUST WIAT FOR SOMEONE TO START.
And because people (not necessarily the peope HERE) are stupid with spoilers and Yggdra Union, I'll remind people to mark for spoilers if they come up. Again. Yeah. GOOO. ~~~  |

Something interesting I found out while perusing books to use for a mythological character design:
In Norse mythology, the "gods" that are best known and observed are called the Aesir, but before the Aesir showed up, there was another race of gods present called the Vanir (name sound familiar, anybody?). Think of them like the Titans as compared to the Greek/Roman gods... only minus the big bloody war, conquering, and bitterness. There was brief conflict between the Aesir and Vanir (so said my source), but it was eventually resolved and the Vanir mostly accepted the dominance of the Aesir (key word, mostly... see the mythology surrounding Mimir for more details on that). It's cool to know that Kylier's race has a history » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « ~~~ |
