ZiggyD's Community Unique Design - Names and Flavour Text

I like the Daresso and Merveil themed ones.

Just posting this for fun:

Name: Castor and Pollux. -or- Castore's Pull

Named after the two brothers in Greek mythology who share Pollux's immortality between the two to form the Gemini constellation.

The two brothers are eternally joined in the heavens, and if they were to sever their union the constellation would become another blur in a sea of stars; their union gives them both significance. This Unique belt asks you to take both armour and evasion together, and push them to ever greater heights in order to bring it's greatest potential as an item to the surface. It's almost as if the two stats are challenging each other like two brothers playfully pulling each other along. At the end of your progression the brother's have rewarded you with their greatest blessing, a strength to rival the gods.

"When Castore fell in battle
he pulled his brother to his side
they had aspired to so much more together
they could not bear to part
and so they ascended together
their eternal union a beacon to the lost"

Some Ascendancy puns in there for good measure :3

Mokag's Girdle

The experienced pugilist knows which blows to dodge, and which to defend, but Mokag did neither, his fists were his only defense...

(Also how did you make those unique cards? I tried that link and spent like 20 mins on it but couldn't figure out how to export it...)

Item name: Avalanche
Flavour text: "Swift as the wind, firm as the Rock, run them over, my Juggernaut." - Shavronne of Umbra


(guess who she's saying this to :)

Steadfast Fury of Lady Dialla

"It is not wise to charge
into battle, say the cockroaches.
Beasts say you are being selfish."

-Lady Dialla

Daresso's Spite
Only fools are unafraid. Courage is making fear your bedfellow, and wading into battle in spite of it.

I've always imagined Sekhema Asenath to be the first leader of her people. The Maraketh are known for their cavalry (almost any Deshret unique), but also for close-range archery (Chin Sol), and her touch was enough to make her seem as quick as the winds (Asenath's Gentle Touch). We know that the Karui word for 'faster' is 'Marak' (Brightbeak), and so I wager that 'Maraketh' means 'faster wind' - or, more widely, 'Swifter Wind'.

I like this mention of the origin of the Maraketh's armed traditions.

The Mortal Coil

"A true warrior gets stronger with each attack, more powerful with each battle, and more dangerous with each kill."

Daresso's Preparation

"You don't know what is coming.
But if we stand together we can face everything.
Derasso - Arena Master"

The Ten Thousand

Hidden by a cloak of ten thousand shadows,
Clad with the skin of ten thousand hides.
Inspired by the cry of ten thousand voices,
Ten thousand warriors fight at your side.

(There were approximately ten thousand people who helped vote to create the unique, so I thought this would be appropriate!)
