Angra Manyu and Ahura Mazdah
« on: Nov 14, 2011, 12:55 pm »
I'm not sure if others have noticed this yet but while looking up Zoroastrianism today (to see if Zaros from RS was based on it) I found something Interesting.

Angra Manyu(weapon) is spelt almost exactly the same as Angra Mainyu; the destructive spirit while Ahura Mazda(shield) is spelt exactly the same as Ahura Mazda; the holy/creator spirit. It seems Gravity wanted to base the shield and weapon on those gods.

That's a very interesting fact...
Those gods are Zoroastrian (Persian/ Iranian region), it's surprising how they can possibly come up with those names), well it just show how international the game is.
Thanks for sharing the info~

Well, the whole world of RO consists of the Norse mythology.
Additionally, there are many aspects from other myths and religions such as Egyptian, Brazilian, Indian, etc. (Mostly MvPs but also towns and casual mobs ;o)

Ifrit is a fire devil/djinni/djinn in Islam, only its real name is Efrit /random-time

Morroc is obviously Morroco... though I don't know what those pyramids are doing there lols!

Anyway >_>

I love how diverse the game is. The actual ruin of Morroc resembles so closely to the ruins in actual Morocco:

Doesn't matter I think ;o I mean either way it fits to the topic.


The fact that Hatii is also known as Garm is actually false concerning the mythology.
Hatii is the counterpart to Sköll - Hatii chases the moon, Sköll chases the sun during Ragnarök.

But Garm is actually a four-eyed, huge dog-creature which guards the entrance to the underworld (Niflheim).

Hence, it's pretty wrong that Hatii is widely known as Garm. ;o

The Ahura Mazda is the next popular car to come out. It will feature a shield like design to promote aerodynamics. Duh.

Gawd I forgot ma RO mythologies .__.

All I could remember is Dewata is based from one of Indonesia's island which is called "Bali". The monsters are as well based on the mythologies around those islands o:

Amatsu = Japan
Ayothaya = Thailand
Gonryun & Louyang, I forgot but it's either Korea or China <.<

Gonryun is Korea; Louyang is China.

Morroc is Morocco (minus the pyramids lol...)

The desert itself is the Sahara.

Prontera is Europe/England.

There's a topic about this around here somewhere...
