The Joys of Easter Eggs

No one knows this one!

Azrams Star (Master Throwing Quest) Is an EXACT replica of the magical object in the movie "Krull." I can't remember what it was called in Krull, but if you can find it, rent the movie (Made somewhere around 1989 I think) Actually not a bad movie at that.

*Edit Oh, and some of the character portraits resemble celebrities...one half-orc one looks a bit like Leonard Nemoy as Spock, and one halfling portrait looks like the main character in the animated Lord of the Rings (as far as I can remember...its been a LONG time since I saw that)

In Krull, it was called, "The Glave"

 

!

Damn that was quick...and I was wrong, someone did know it :grin:

This one is a bit more far fetched, but close enough to mention I suppose. The whole situation with Derholm, the older son being cast out by the younger son who was 'advised' by a mage, follows with the basic premise of the Stephen King book 'Eyes of the Dragon.'

And H.T. Parnell's = Ripley's, but I guess that's really obvious...
Some of the filler background in the Tarant Sewers look suspiciously like the Fallout Necropolis.
Bane of Kree = some kind of evil COnan? Nah... reading too far into it...

 

Gilbert Bates is an easter egg. guess what's it reference to

 

Tee hee

I was waiting for one of his guards, or maybe Chukka to refer to him as "Master Bates." *Sigh* I suppose that is just too obvious.

 

One of my favorites is Lukan (the Witless.. hehe) and George Bush. Stategery anyone?

 

Arcane Sword is from Diablo...
BUt then again, so's the inventory system...

 

heh heh... my first post with more than four replies... heh heh

 

Where do easter eggs come from?

The easter bunny in the still water cave.

 

I think H. T. Parnell's is really referring to P. T. Barnum. Barnum started out in a little museum that was basically a freak show like Parnell’s...

 

None of you have found the graveyard then?

The co-ordinates are 1060, 809. You need to be EXACTLY on it to get it. [Not a degree out]

It also will not show on your map.

 

I already did. See my post about fan boys at the Site Feedback

 

it's really bad that i aint there...

i was long ago on arcanum board..mebe its the fact that i left buncha times and changed a nickname. but the thing is taht i got attn of dev and mods alotta times with my immaturity. they jus mean or they are not allowed to put kids in the game

 

Didn't hear abotu Arcanum till I register here. Or a week before. Well, I saw it at stores but didn't mind. :smile:

 

Another Egg could be J.T. Morgan being the master of pick locks. The real JP Morgan was a banker who was the richest person in America for a while, the link between the banker and the thief is a little obvious to me...

Maybe some of it are accidental.

 

Another one

The Island of Cattan is a reference to a wonderful German board game called Settlers of Cattan.

 

Virgil

In Dante's Divine Comedy (yes I know, real literature...), Dante's guide through the Inferno (Hell) is named Virgil.

 

Krull was made in the early 80s, not 1989. The chakram is from a Start Trek episode... the original serise not the TNG.
