Ancient mythology referances?

Hey all.

A little while ago, I did the Silithus quests involving finding a brain and a glyph rubbing from each hive and while reading what the dwarves were talking about, I noticed one of them said something about being able to understand Titan, including some Vanir and Aesir.

Now, I'm fascinated by Norse mythology so I couldn't miss this. Both Vanir and Aesir are the names of the two 'factions', as it were, of the Norse Gods: Vanir being the more peaceful Gods, involved in fertility and the like,while Aesir are the more warlike Gods, such as Thor.

Another one I noticed was in EPL, Tyr's Hand. Tyr is a Norse God who - for a very daft reason which I can't be bothered to go into here - lost one of his hands.

Was just wondering if there were anymore of these referances in game that people could have noticed. :)

I actually never thought about the Tyr's Hand reference. Nice one :)
