Prismatic Blade of Quel'Serrar
Lorekeeper Lydros implies there were many Quel'Serrars and one Prismatic Blade of Quel'Serrar. However, the newer lore seems to say that there were many Prismatic Blades, with Quel'Delar and Quel'Serrar (oddly having the name of all of them) being sisters, and does not mention the many one-dragon Quel'Serrars. Is there a retcon here?--SWM2448 21:22, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
- It seems that way, yes. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 21:43, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
Quel'Delar..."High of the Ancient Keepers?"
Something that has been bothering me for a while... Quel'delar shares a similar name to [Rhok'delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepers], and [Lok'delar, Stave of the Ancient Keepers]... Most (lorenuts) know that "Quel" means "high" in thalassian, but the suffix: Delar is up for speculation. Originally I thought it meant "of the ancient keepers", but after thinking about it, since Rhok'delar and Lok'delar are related ("sister") weapons, maybe Delar means "the sister weapon", and "of the ancient keepers" references something about the weapons history... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blayaden (talk · contr).
- The problem is that you're assuming "Rhok'delar" means "Longbow of the Ancient Keepers" (same for Lok'delar), which may or may not be the case. If it were true, that would essentially mean that the elves named their weapons twice. It would be like a Spaniard naming his blade "Espada de Muerte, the Blade of Death." -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 23:00, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
- Also, they can not be sisters because they are the same weapon. The bow is just the stave after being bent and a dragon sinew added as a bowstring.--SWM2448 23:56, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
- Um... I don't think they are the same weapon... They look nothing alike, and you have both of them at the end of the quest chain. Also, its pretty frequent for weapons to have thier translations in their names, or reffered to. [Quel'Serrar] says "High Blade", so we can assume "Serrar" means blade, And [Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury] translates from Thalassian as well.--Blayaden (talk) 03:58, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
