Default Re: Dominions history?

That Kurgi has kept me guessing: I oddly assort it to a fictional deity named "Kirgi", a rat god in some RPG-pantheon book (Palladium), but I do not think that Illwinter would just use a made-up name from other fictional work...

It is quite interesting though to ask wikipedia.org about the names of the seven IceDevils. I was not previously aware that those prominent names were not just made up by Illwinter. The above mentioned RPG also (ab)used names from mythology, so I assume that there might be a common source for Kirgi/Kurgi, but a quick glance at wikipedia and google did not reveal anything...

EDIT: "(ab)use" was solely meant in funny way - in the sense that the names are attached to slightly different things than usual. Nevertheless I agree that this adds quite some flavour...
