Default Re: Divine Serpent man only?

Can we get a water-path pretender for man?

While we're at it .. there aren't much landlubbers left with a skill in water .. I really miss the Daughter of the River.

Why was she changed to Mother of Tuatha / Lady of Luck (which man doesn't get as well?)

And the Mother of Tuatha is correct as far as the game-logic is concerned (glamor = illusions = air), but is thoroughly wrong as far as mythology goes. Danoine Sidhe (which are in fact Tuatha de Dannan, or Danoine, childs of the godess DANA, also called the "seely sidhe" ?sp?) don't have that much to do with Air Magic, but with nature, water, earth, blood and death. Fire and Air is more the way of the Fomorians ("unseely sidhe" ?sp?), which are somehow related to the Alfar, or Alben (which gave the name to Tolkiens Elven Folk .. very much like the Dwarves from Tyrol - King Laurin and his Rose Garden - where the templates for . guess whom? )

So .. can we get another water-path pretender besides the Frost Father, especially but not exclusivly, for Man?
