Clever / Ironic / Etc Names we might have missed~

I always though that the pirate, Dixl Drool, in Ocean of Tears was funny as hell.

Tunare = Nature
Veeshan = Heavens
Fennin Ro = Innferno
Xegony = Oxygen
Povar = Vapor
Tarew = Water
Rathe = Earth
E'Ci = Ice

Also, there is a Necro poison dot spell with a Harry Potter twist: Slitheren Venom (Named after the house in Hogwarts of a similiar spelling.)

Named after Slitheren in Oceangreen Hills. Shaman also got Nectar of the Slitheren. The snake itself may have had wizardly inspiration, though...

Oh how clever. Thanks for this list--I would have never, ever figured this out on my own.

Also...
Trorsmang -> Armstrong
Drinal -> Aldrin
Rolfron -> Forlorn

Also also...
"Thule Island, also called Morrell Island, is one of the southernmost of the South Sandwich Islands, part of the grouping known as Southern Thule. It is named, on account of its remote location, after the mythical land of Thule, said by ancient geographers to lie at the extreme end of the earth. The alternative name Morrell Island is after Benjamin Morrell, US explorer and whaling captain. Viewed by James Cook and his Resolution crew on 31 January 1775 in his attempt to find Terra Australis.[1]"

Prathun! Long time no see

Particularly since Slitheren uses Stone Gaze, and the monster of Slytherin is a basilisk!

Mithaniel Marr = Latrine Rim Ham, named such as he totally looks like a dude that would eat pork off a toilet seat

Erollisi Marr = Aim Sir Reroll, the matron saint of Rangers encourages all of them to play a better class

Holagato, "Hello kitty" during Anniversary task in Valley of King Xorbb. Female Vah Shir. lol

I wonder if Marcy from the same mission (drops a shroud) is a reference to Marcelline from Adventure Time?

99.99% of the zone (mobs, layout, quests, raids) Gorge of King Xorbb is a reference to Lord of The Rings. Many are obvious, some (like the fort looking eerily similar to The Black Gate) may not be.

Also half of the Slayer achievements are references to something, the other half are just clever wordplay.

Oh and let's not forget, The Vicious Rabbit loyalty pet clicky = Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

/sigh .. I couldn't think of a better name like mine

Xorbb1 is called Guardians of the Gate.
It's both a lotr homage (the mino is named Mordaur + black gate imagery) and they're gatekeepers to the other two Xorbb raids.

For all the tree-lovers out there:

Some may even see some Vin Diesel in that ogre. Spookey, how SoE knew that years before ;-)
Mitsune Foxfire, Vazaelle

In the same vein --

Qeynos = Sony EQ

What about Vhalen Nostrolo in South Karana? I always figured it was V(an)Halen but never figured out Nostrolo.

The Achievements have many references to metal songs/bands.
Megadeath (the correct spelling unlike the band though)
Dem Bones (Alice in Chains Song)
Alaran in Chains (see above)

There are several more but I'm at work so can't check them out. I think there's an Iron Maiden reference or two among others. \m/

The collection achievements for CotF (Separate Ways, World's Apart, Look Into the Future) look like a Journey reference to me.

There is another "The Princess Bride reference found in The Buried Sea; Drowned Pirate Roberts.

You can call me Alaran was my favorite
