Introducing The Antonian

[Mud]

Enjoyed the post. Glaive of Marltek and Obtenebrate Short Sword are two additional weapons with descriptors that have this look (as well as the correct item icon). "Glaive" does not seem appropriate for this weapon graphic, either.

Nice read!

Good read. I wonder about 'Antonian' versus 'Antonican'. There is a continent called Antonica and there are Antonican Forges, but then there are 'Antonian' javelins. Is the latter a typo by the devs?

If it's a typo, then it's a classic typo. It was live too.

Both words are, of course, from Antonius Bayle. Maybe "Anotnian" has more to do with the person than the place.

Cool blog tho.

Antonia refers to the royalty, Antonica the continent. People who live on Antonica are Antonicans, people who are descended from Antonia / Antonius Bayle and the like are Antonians. They were a heavy part of the beginning EQ2 lore but also in EQ1.

Good stuff, thanks!

No idea. I just liked the way The Antonian sounded.

Don't even really play EQ anymore and was still an interesting read. Good job.
