<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It's possible to get soul contract from killed commander. However, AFAIK it's not possible to get any items from assassinations probably because the assassin won’t stick around long enough to loot the body. Could be wrong though.

I usually pronounce it Ar-kohs-kef-ah-ley

ar-koss-eh-fail

I was treating the "sc" as an s sound, as in "science", and the e as silent...

I do like Sheap's pronunciation, though...

St. Patrik is correct, as "Cephale" is indeed Greek for "Head": In Greek, the "c" sound is pronounced as a "k". The "s" sound for a "ce" is a more recent product.

As Arco is intended to be, well, Greek, it seems reasonable that it should be pronounced in a Greek manner.

Heh, that's two syllables away from what I call Heliophagi.
