Talk:Babel

'The first act of Lord Sarapis at the outset of the Chaos Wars was to create Lord Babel, Patron of those who seek Chaos. Rumoured to represent the duality of Chaos found in the initial manifestations of Entropy and Discord within the realm before the ascension of Eris, His unfathomed ways are said to be those of the twin, divergent and indistinguishable, nearly always leading back upon themselves in recursive and chaotic glory. Although His whereabouts are unknown, adventurers continue to actively search for and devote themselves to Him today.

Is the part in bold canon? I'm fairly sure that was concocted by players. The only canonical reference to Babel comes from the Mythos: Sarapis' first act was to create a new god to be the patron of those would seek chaos: Babel. -- Delphinus 11:54, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

The return of Babel needs to be chronicled here, reference posts 271-274. The above may hold true now due to this, but still needs verification. Asara 14:49, 1 April 2008 (GMT)

Is the last sentence meant to sound sarcastic? --Krypton 12:51, 12 April 2008 (GMT)

Imyrr, you're the one who capitalised it as "Occult" in the first place. That's why I linked it. As for my uncapitalisation, that's because my personal opinion was that, even if it is tied to Occultism, "occult" didn't deserve to be capitalised. But if there are any opinions about whether it should be capitalised and linked, uncapitalised and unlinked, or any other combination thereof, please state them. --Krypton 16:54, 20 April 2008 (GMT)

It's just out of habit, don't get so defensive. The markings on the seal stated they were occult (possibly even Occult, I don't have the description on hand) in nature, but those markings had nothing to do with Occultism. Capitalised or not, I don't care, but it never really pertained to Occultism the skill or even House symbolism. Imyrr 16:02, 22 April 2008 (GMT)

I'm not getting defensive. You had them capitalised to begin with, and you just described a capitalised "Occult" as having to do with Occultism, so you are the only one who can know first-hand whether that association applies in this case or not. --Krypton 16:10, 22 April 2008 (GMT)

In any case, I've found my own copy of the seal's description, and it is "occult" and not "Occult", so the uncapitalised/unlinked combination is correct. If it had been "Occult", however, that would suggest ties to Occultism (and therefore a link would be proper), at least on Lore, as that seems to be the policy of association. For instance, the term "Necromancer" should always be capitalised because of its associated with Necromancy. --Krypton 16:31, 22 April 2008 (GMT)
