could these names and there alias' have any other hidden meanings to them?

Some of the names here and elsewhere in the game come from Celtic mythology. Macha was one of a trio of Celtic war deities. Innis is the Irish word for island, though it's more commonly spelled with one n. Fidchell and Gorrre look very much like Irish words to me but I've never seen them before. None of the other names listed there look familiar to me but it is possible that they were inspired by the mythology of different countries.

Another interesting one in the game is Orca and Balmung calling themselves Descendants of Fianna. Every Irish school child has to learn the legends about The Fianna.

And BTW, Magus is (i am fairly certain) Latin for Wizard. I just know that because i read a lot.

I've found other uses for a couple of the names.

The Skeith Stone
The game of Fidchell
And "Corvenik" may be a mistransliteration. In Arthurian legend, Castle Corbenic was the location of the Holy Grail.

Tarvos (Trigaranos):
comes from: Gallic Mythology
Bull god

Macha:
Irish (Mythology)
Fertility goddess
A war goddess

Simon Magus:
(also known as Simon the Magician)
Roman Mythology
There are small fragments of a work written by him (or by one of his later followers using his name), the Apophasis Megale, or Great Propagation.

Sinister Skeith:
(unknown)
Supposedly wiped out entire villages during the middle ages with a plague... (I found this one I'm not sure)

Innis
Relates to the Holy grail
Made a wave of invisible flame protecting the Holy Grail and people were killed because they walked straight into the fire

Fidchell is a game that gods played to decide royalty

Gorre
In the story of King Aurther
Gorre was a land that was conquered (Gorre is accually called Rheged in Scotland it is a Welsh term idk what Gorre means in Welsh) I think GOrre is something along the lines of Grand Land or something

Corbenik:
THis one is a little tricky, but The major claim to be Castle Corbenic, the Grail Castle... Castle Corbinc (with a c) was created to hold the Holy Grail

Here is something people seem to overlook. Cubia also has an epitaph title.
In one of the games(I forgot which one

)It is stated that Cubia is the hidden one or:

The hidden one: Cubia

in phase style

AuraTwilight · Post by **AuraTwilight** » Fri Feb 10, 2006 5:07 pm

Too bad Cubia isn't a Phase. And thus not relevant to the discussion. But y'know. Whatever.

SnowManZero · Post by **SnowManZero** » Sat Feb 11, 2006 5:01 am

AuraTwilight · Post by **AuraTwilight** » Sat Feb 11, 2006 2:45 pm

Because you Data Drained them. So they turned into a weaker form, like every other monster.
