I withdraw my objection, although it still looks weird to my apparently addled brain. Also, most people pronounce it wrong - who knew?

Isn't language fun? English more so than most, given how it has a habit of following other languages down dark alleys, knocking them over the head with a club and making off with loose bits of vocabulary and grammar...

At least I don't have to add this to the bug list, because that's what a name change would require.

#addname the Crystal Priestess (blessing)(blessing)(blessing) Spells

which is a bit odd.

Also: Leroy Jenkins as a random name? Good grief...

Oh, I got the reference... Turns out it was a mod altering certain name possibilities.

In the Black Serpent's description, it says "The black serpent is the serpent form of the lamia."

Since Lamia is the name of a unit, I think it should be capitalized.

Lamia is the name of the monster, but when used within a sentence instead of at the beginning, it is not capitalized. Just like you don't capitalize animal names like bear, tiger, wolf, badger etc inside a sentence.

Only proper names and titles are capitalized, as well as military ranks when referring to a specific individual (e.g. Captain So-and-so).

Think this is part of a mod, but I am not sure. It is the God Spider's description:

"It is known that God Spider is a great trickster, lier and storyteller"

"Lier" should be liar.

I think it meant to say "the blood of ten young vegans". Well, a man can dream, no? :D
