The Mystery of the Dark Legends Pentagram

[MightyMicah]

Interesting. I do remember the druids from Britain whenever I think of them. I'll have to look a bit more up on this stuff.

It really is worth a read, I promise! I was reading all of the information on that stuff going, "Dang, this is good stuff!" then I decide to share it with everyone

actually I believe vampires are mythical creatures, whereas I believe demons are very real. And very interesting.

Must be nice to be able to pick and choose your faith according to your likes and dislikes. I am done with this thread.

Leviticus 17:10-14

I highly doubt just because God commanded them not to eat blood that that meant there were vampires around. Eating blood was looked on (and still is kinda) as a detestable act. Let's continue this in pm because we are insanely off topic.

As a satanist I find this thread offensive and requesting a lock.

you're the greatest troll I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, never forget that.

Leviticus 17:10-14
New International Version (NIV)
10 “‘I will set my face against any Israelite or any foreigner residing among them who eats blood, and I will cut them off from the people. 11 For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.[a] 12 Therefore I say to the Israelites, “None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner residing among you eat blood.”

13 “‘Any Israelite or any foreigner residing among you who hunts any animal or bird that may be eaten must drain out the blood and cover it with earth, 14 because the life of every creature is its blood. That is why I have said to the Israelites, “You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.”

Before this turns more religious-ey than it already is, is that saying that it is a sin to suck the marrow out of a bone? cuz KFC makes really good chicken

[HunterSLAYER]

I wonder why "religious" people(not in this thtead) are so obsessed with the meaning of the symbol.

I'm also a Christian.

Thanks you so much for including "(not in this thread)"!!! You're the first person who understands that I find it very interesting, but not a problem. Lol I wonder that myself. It's only a symbol you know?

[Aaroniero Arruruerie]

seems like a celtic thing, not religious per se, ummm cultural? that works?

Very interesting thread!

The original idea is that the vampires in Carvina are tied by their nature to the occult and "Dark Arts", but the symbol you're pointing out has more than one meaning than just a demonic pentagram. In terms of Dark legends for the player it's intended as a pentacle, and not a pentagram. The orientation of course shifts as the player does, but from a purely design standpoint the symbols used in the magics and mythology of vampirism and the occult weighed our decision to use it as an aesthetic. I assure you there is no desired intention to offend based on the symbolism found in the game, but certain elements feel appropriate in the context of the game.

Pentacles, are the inversion of a pentagram often referenced by Pagan history and the Druids (which is why that event made sense for Dark legends! )

The breakdown of a pentacle is as follows, and a connection should be seen between the elements and abilities your vamp gets as well as the general progression of the character.

I hope the image attaches correctly!

That's not real marrow in KFC chicken. I think its mostly oatmeal. Like taco bell beef.
