slaine resource curses

[toothill man]

unicorns are very evil in slaines world so cool

[Standing-Stone]

Do the Horns still have magical properties.

Supposedly they cure sickness and detect the presence of poison.

[toothill man]

unicorns are pure evil who eat only the flesh of pure maidens so are major bad guys

[Standing-Stone]

I couldn't find a reference to them in the monters section of the core book.

They might get included in the Runequest edition.

[toothill man]

details in the spoils of annwn(which has not been collected yet)from progs 493-499

[Standing-Stone]

Of course, I remember that creature. Not really my first impression of a Unicorn. ( As it's not been collected I will have to go through some back progs to re-read this.)

Incidently, as I had downloaded a free copy of Google Earth. I have
been looking for all the important Slaine related landmarks on the well detailed satellite map. I spent quite alot of time visualising the Zodiac temple as it had been marked out on the ground. Orion was the easiest to find, but practically every other one was abit of a headach. I hope
to actualley sketch each star sign on a satelleite photograph
surrounding the somerset area in the near future.

[Standing-Stone]

Having re-read the prog in question. concerning Slaine's Trials of the Zodiac temple. Those Unicorns. I think they were the famed Goats that only grew one on their head instead of two. Mind, that they may have only been seen in profile. So that they only appear to have a uni-horn.

[toothill man]

stiil like the idea of the heros running for the hills as someone saw a unicorn

[The King]

May you never find the peace of mind whereever you go.

[toothill man]

try telling the hard headed maiden that unicorns are bad for everyones health

[Daithi O'an tSionnaigh]

May the door of the Tech Duinn ("House of Donn" or "House of the Dead".) hit you in the arse on the way in!

May your naughty bits be smashed upon the Lia Fail!* (Stone of Destiny*)

[toothill man]

eat bolg and die

[Standing-Stone]

Here's one I have been saving for while.......

"May your privy parts always point at your head when going for leak".

[toothill man]

now that is just pure evil brilliant work

[Standing-Stone]

The 'House of Donn'.

Is that the L-world dominated by the Undead?

Having just read about Donn and the Sons of Mil. Putting this simply its that it's the last place where Spirits go ( In Irish folklore.) before they depart for the otherworld. The Otherworld is also called Tir-Non-Ogg, which is alittel confusing because as far as the world of Slaine is concerned. Tir-Nan-Ogg is the physical enviroment of Irelanda and prabably including the spiritual enviroment as well.

As far it's been re-interpreted for thet comic. The house of Donn also referred to as the 'Land Beneath the Waves' could very well be one of the four L worlds.

[The King]

May your privy parts always fall in winter (peace time) and regrow in summer (war time).

[toothill man]

do you mean the EL worlds my friend which are the four underworlds the dead can go too

[Standing-Stone]

Is that a Question or Answer?

I guess it doesn't matter as it's not directly cannon with Slaine. Though it could be.

[The King]

May your stomach burn each time you see a cooking fire.

[toothill man]

may your corns grow warts on them and then bleed
