[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 3446052, member: 11697"] I'm confused at some of the names picked highest on the poll. I'm thinking that a lot of names are getting picked out by name recognition of non-D&D uses of the name, mythology, and perhaps even a Jessie 'The Body' Ventura movie for Abraxas ;) A nice number of the ones with decent amounts of votes have never really appeared as more than a name in a list of names, and are beating out lords like Alzrius and Lynkhab who have hooks, lore, and backhistory but never much exposure by comparison to the "big 14". *revels in confusion* It's like asking if someone likes chocolate chip, vanilla, rocky road, or double fudge marshmallow icecream... and then they say they like Wonkleburp flavor icecream though they've never had it and nobody knows anything about it to even speculate if it's yummy or something that swam the wrong way up a drainpipe. *revels in hyperbole* Actually I'm curious about the issue from folks who voted for some of the 'nothing but a name' abyssal lords on the list.
