#breaking character in the tags: you are right about the absence of non-european mythology!#you'd think they'd have named a pattern group after the sphinx at least by now#unfortunately this blog is run by a pedant who has spent more time on etymonline than he'll ever publicly admit to#so yeah half of the official horus frames are greek in origin that's true#but balors are irish and goblins are norse/french#kobolds are german (and also related to goblins)#and lich is just straight up an old english word for corpse that didn't specifically mean reanimated corpse until the 20th century#lancerrpg#lancer rpg#lancer ttrpg
