-I don't know if this should be in the MabinogiTalk section since it's about Mabi but it's not at the same time-
I was reading a bunch of books in-game and on the wiki -i was bored- and it got me really curious about Mabinogi in real life.

For a while now i've known that Tir Chonaill and Dunbarton are real places in life (but i think Tir Chonaill is a dead city that is now some other city) so i googled Tir Chonaill and it came up with a wiki about the Tir Chonaill royal family. I began to google more things and came up with this sweet website: Shee-eire
The layout is a little confusing but it's got some nifty info about pretty much everything that you'll find in-game.

Macha didn't really fall in love with a guy and become human so that she could be with him, and she didn't get her heart broken by him, AND she didn't then later throw her pretty self into a lake. Nexon says that for the melodrama :D
She did curse people though. :O
And Morrighan peed to make a river! o-o;;
Morrighan (spelt Morrigan on the website) also had red hair. -tries to imagine- Ew.

Go there if you're really bored, like me :)

This website is pretty interesting, though I don't know what 75% of the stuff is.

Bangor is a city in the US.
Found that out by reading a magazine (had nothing to do with mabinogi)

Wow, lucky. Good luck getting past Peaca!

We've discussed this before. Or at least, about the Welsh mythology represented in the game.
Sarinii wrote on 2010-05-22 12:54

Mmm, really? Sorry, i didn't know.
I simply found the website to be interesting and wanted to let others who may be interested of its existence.
Alot of things in-game are historically incorrect and some may want to know the actual facts.

No harm in that!

What I meant was on guru. And not exactly about this either.

Heck, it all started with me noting Tir Chonail being pronounced in Titanic.

Actually, we already had had a thread about welsh mythology even before that~

It had nothing to do with anything, but it was an Irish mother telling her children a bedtime story as the boat sank. It was so sad...
Sarinii wrote on 2010-05-22 13:43

D:
Sad doesn't click with me.
Anyway, shutting off the computer now, and heading off.

:D
