Proposed history for the 3rd Cthonian faction

[Clavin12]

I'm taking German and I don't think its the language for this mod. Another mod maybe.

There are several Greek words for time that would serve well:

Chronos - Chronii, Chronians
Kairos - Kairii, Kairians
Hora - Horii, Horians
Genea - Genii, Genians

Also there are some for life:

Bios - Bionii, Bionians
Zoe - Zoeii, Zoeians, Zonii, Zonians
Psuche - Psuchii, Psuchians

And Metal or Iron:

Sideros - Siderii, Siderians

Fire:

Phos - Phosii, Phosians, Phosphorii, Phosphorans
Pur - Purii, Purians

Bird:

Orneon - Ornii, Ornians
Peteinon - Peteinii, Peteinians

Fire and Bird, as a representation of Pheonix:

Phosphornii, Phosphornians
Purpetii, Purpetians

We could use latin with stuff like:

Tempus, Temporus (time) - Tempii, Temporii, Tempians, Temporians
Vita (life) - Vitii, Vitians
Aetas (era) - Aetii, Aetians

Hope this list helps.

hmm, where did the name, "Cthonian" come from anyway?

[AHadley]

Cthonian or Cthonic means "of or relating to the underworld".

I would say Phosphornii from those, Clavin.

[Nielk1]

What is the mythos of the pheonix. This may be of use.

[Clavin12]

The Phoenix is a bird that lives for a very long time then builds a nest and burns up. From the ashes emerges a baby phoenix or a phoenix egg.

[AHadley]

Good:
- Rising from the ashes (Cthonians reborn in the ashes of the Cthonian Civil War)
- The work Phoenix is greek and phoenixes are a part of greek mythology
- Greek sun-god Helios stopped his chariot to listen to the song of the Phoenix (Cthonians stopped their war to listen to the Phosphornii)

Bad:
- Phoenixes live for five hundred to a thousand years (the Phosphornii was a relatively short-lived faction from what I gather) though the amount of time that the Phosphornii were around could easily be changed - we don't even know how long a Cthonian lifespan is)

Cthonian or Cthonic means "of or relating to the underworld".

I would say Phosphornii from those, Clavin.

So would I, it sounds quite good to me.

Bad:
- Phoenixes live for five hundred to a thousans years (the Phosphornii was a relatively short-lived faction from what I gather) though the amount of time that the Phosphornii were around could easily be changed - we don't even know how long a Cthonian lifespan is)

I was wondering about Cthonian lifespans also, does anyone have anything we can use as reference here?

[iron maiden]

i'd go ahead with phosphornii. Also, does anyone have any idea what the third faction's ships would look like? would they look similar the the Hadean's or majorly different? Just throwing it out there.

[Clavin12]

You could name buildings and vehicles to correspond to the name. Is there already a Pheonix? How bout Firebird (which is the Russian version of the phoenix)? And I've never seen an ornithopter from dune command but seeing as i've read the books I think it might suit nicely for a basic concept for one of these ships.

[sabrebattletank]

I like Phosphoronii as well.

[AHadley]

I believe the Scions have a Phoenix. It's developed during the gap between Forgotten Enemies and this project, so the Scions may use it during the CP. It will first feature in Perfidious. First created by Coxxon and used in the Uler mod.

[Clavin12]

What does the ornithopter look like?

[Warfreak]

Sorry but Phosphoronii sounds too much like Phosphorous Pepperoni to me

[bigbadbogie]

What does the ornithopter look like?

Is this it?

[Nielk1]

Is this it?

Yes

The word is a flapping wing craft.
