Borek wrote:Borek is the name of an ancient dwarf from warhammer stories, his city was consumed by the forces of chaos and his king drew his name from a lottery to be the leader of a small expedition of dwarfs sent out to seek aid from the other dwarfs and the Empire of men, which sadly he was unable to do because chaos was assaulting them as well.

His lifes work was spent finding a way to get aid back to his city even though he was sure it had fallen in the 200 years he spent trying to do just that. His 1st expedition failed, his second involved building an experimental Airship in secret and flying literally into the gates of hell to fulfil his Oath to his King and clan.

Fortunately the chaos wastes which had overrun his city warped time itself, so that the 200 yrs he spent trying only resulted in 20 yrs passing for the City. A mighy chaos demon was waiting for this mission as part of a prophesy it had fortold 20/200 yrs earlier, which would result in leading the demon to the last magically hidden part of the city the King and his remaining dwarfs had been sheltering in.

Unfortunately for the Demon Borek had chosen his companions well, a Slayer who had accompanied Borek on the 1st failed mission they tried had found the dead body of the Kings Son, whom he had sent out after Borek had failed to get help, with the Axe of the Runemasters. This slayer had returned with Borek on the 2nd mission, with the Axe, and with the help of a Human poet who had agreed many years earlier to travel with the slayer to record his Death in an Epic Poem, they managed to banish the demon and rescue the few dwarfs who were left alive.

So when i changed my name i decided Borek was a suitable name.


So basically, you named yourself after an idiot and a failure. Who was lucky enough to have a descent guy with an axe with him, who saved his ass and the ass of his people, after Borek nearly got them all killed.

Nice choice. :)

I chose my name cause i chase rank 1, thats what Vendetta means, chaser of rank 1...

I choose my name because of a phrase I use as a teach of the bible. The way of Agape which basically means the way of God's love, a love that has no bounds and I love that we should model. So in short it is a statment about how I will play this game and how I will treat others. My hope is that it will be both a reminder and an encouragement to myself and others to do the same.

I chose My name White Dragon Emperor, because when i moved to Taiwan three months ago, i had to chose a chinese name, Han Bai Long (white dragon emperor), so i thought i might change my in-game from berith to white dragon emperor, han was one of the first emperors of china to unite the provinces.

The White Tiger is one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations. It is sometimes called the White Tiger of the West (西方白虎, Xī Fāng Bái Hǔ), and it represents the west and the autumn season.
During the Han Dynasty, people believed the tiger to be the king of all beasts. Legend had it that when a tiger reached 500 years old, its tail would turn white. In this way, the white tiger became a kind of mythological creature. It was said that the white tiger would only appear when the emperor ruled with absolute virtue, or if there was peace throughout the world. Because the color white of the Chinese five elements also represents the west, the white tiger thus became a mythological guardian of the west.

But my name Byakko is actuly the japanese name for the constellaton oh you gotta love wiki :lol:
