Cauldron of Eternity

Are we sure it is supposed to represent the Holy Grail? I'm pretty sure is inspired by the Pair Dadeni, the celtic cauldron of rebirth. It has even the power to bring back the dead (which I don't remember was associated with the Holy Grail). --Firebead elvenhair (talk) 07:38, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

It is missing in the story, and everybody is questing for it. Thus it seems to be inspired by the holy grail. Besides, a set inspired by Arthurian legend without the holy grail would seem to be odd. But it can have both influences. --Hunter (talk) 07:48, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Other references

Oko is supposedly Puck (or a mix of Puck and Oberon) from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Garruk is the Huntsman from Snow White. The Royal Scions are various prince and princess tropes, there might be something more specific where the heir(s) to the throne is/are trying to find their missing father. --79.20.123.150 21:25, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

"Comic adaption"?

Dance of the Manse is said to be the dancing furniture from Beauty and the Beast "comic adaption only". What does that mean? I'm sure "adaption" should have been "adaptation", but "comic" in what sense? Comic book? Comedic in tone? Why don't explicitly say "from the 1991 Disney musical version"? We're collecting references, not protecting their intellectual honesty. --79.20.123.150 21:33, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Castle Garenbrig

Am I imagining things or this "castle" looks like Pride Rock form the Lion King Disney movie? --Firebead elvenhair (talk) 10:24, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

• You are not the only one who noticed it --Hunter (talk) 10:48, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Uh, I can see Vantress/Dalaran, but Embervale/Irontown seems a bit of stretch... and pretty syre Lochtwain isn't a Star Destroyer, looks more an Aladdin genie's lamp to me --Firebead elvenhair (talk) 11:41, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
