Where you got your nickname from....(or what it means)

[Wings of a dream]

mine is from a poem of William Cullen Bryant's. He coined the word Thanatopsis from Thanatos the god of death, and Opsis, vision. It means Vision of Death.

Man I soooo hated that poem in High School!

I was trying to think of a name, but I couldn't. My name is Emily and my sister calls me "Em," so, eh. In other words, a complete lack of imagination and effort.

 

[The_Children_of_Decadence]

Alright self-explainable, but I was just wondering what some of your names meant or where you got them from...

I'll start off.....

Wings of a Dream is an Edguy song, which by the way you should check out if you like Power Metal.

[Ralf]

There are no stupid questions, only stupid people...

 

[CadalMord]

Well there's this book, "Magician: Apprentice" by Raymond E. Feist. There is a dwarf mine called Mac Mordain Cadal, so I just took the two latter words and turned them around. Then after I noticed that one irc server wouldn't accept CadalMordain 'cause it was too long, I chopped it to CadalMord.

[Heavenscent]

Yeah, but he's just a stupid person making stupid statements

 

[Thanatopsis]

Man I soooo hated that poem in High School!

such is life

 

[Heavenscent]

I think it's cool and totally epical.

 

[DeathPact]

It comes from something that can also cast death coil and has a unholy aura. He is a hero and runs on a horse... also refered to as a DK. haha deathpact is a spell cast on undead, killing it and giving its life ,or HP to be more correct, to the DK I think he fits nicely into the metal genre

 

[Heavenscent]

it sounds all nerdy and shit to me...

 

[Wings of a dream]
