The vex name obviously come from mythological monsters. Ishtar is the goddess of fertility in Hinduism (I think) Cerberus vae iii comes from Cerberus the Greek mythological dog with 2 or 3 heads (My Greek mythology is quite rusty) Eris = A moon Trials is obviously Egyptian themed Phalanx are named after something (Can't quite remember, I saw something about phalanx and I thought," Hey, that's from destiny") [quote]A phalanx is an Ancient Greek military formation consisting of heavy infantry. -Rhitrix[/quote] Praetorians were some sort of Roman guards. [quote]Praetorians led troop formations if I remember correctly. - SavageWolf[/quote] Dreg = Low, scum, bottom of the barrel Wyrms = Legless dragons [quote]Vandals: the army and tribe that sacked Rome Legionaries: Roman infantry Centurion: Roman military officers that commanded up to 200 men Templars: related to the knight Templar of Europe, allegedly tasked with protecting the Holy Grail -Sullys201623[/quote] Gorgons are quite obviously based off of Greek mythological Gorgons which turned their prey to stone. If anyone could tell me any others, I will add them to this list.
