Fodder for the Canon: Ask your lore questions here

Noble Savage is Wretch iirc.

Question for a character I'm writing... According to Paragonwiki, Valkyrie's spear is from War/Warrior(Whatever) earth, as is Battle Maiden's halberd. We also know that Battle Maiden recruits warriors from War Earth as her personal guard.

1.) Is Battle Maiden ORIGINALLY from War Earth, or a praetorian that found War Earth?

2.) Is there much else known about War Earth?

3.) Is there anything known about Battle Maiden aside from what I stated already? There's almost no history info for her that I can find >_<

Thanks!

Enriche! It's... it's made out of Hamidon!!

I have a few silly questions that may require you to make up something semi-official on the spot. However, there is such a wealth of material between the comics, mission dialogue, novels, and official background that maybe these have actual answers that I’ve missed:

Before the Rikti invasion, did Paragon City boast of any professional sport teams? If so, what were the sports, mascots, and colors? Does the University have any teams? Again, if so, what is/are the mascot and colors?

I’m guessing with the influx of heroes and superpowered arena bouts presumably open to the public, any professional sporting teams may have moved on to greener pastures. It kind of makes sense that there wouldn't be any now.

I’m curious about this specifically for a character’s background. I can certainly make it up but if there is anything even semi-official, I’d love to hear about it.

I gotta ask this: looking back on some of the back story on the site, it mentions a fiasco where Statesman, in the initial assault of the first invasion attacked three Rikti Saucers which promptly crashed and destroyed the neighborhoods they landed in.
Why didn't Statesman, who had already been a hero for quite some time now, know about these consequences.
I'm really just curious because it does seem almost out of character on his part, though we do have word from Hero 1 that Statesman's "a little too violent" at least around the time of the Rikti War.

Also I am feeling a bit sad that this and other questions probably won't be answered since Manticore's answer thread has not been updated in a year...

One small question: What origin is Tin Mage?

I was wondering if it can be confirmed or not, whether Talos is still alive and fighting the monster Chimera under Talos Island (I've not gotten around to all the Lore about Talos yet)?

According to paragonwiki, which I know may not be correct (please let me know if its not), Talos stated "For thousands of years, I have been a protector of humanity." So this could easily mean he could still be alive fighting the monster Chimera under Talos. Especially since in the games lore it states "Known today as Talos Island, it is said that both Talos and the Chimera are still locked in mortal combat within its stony embrace."

I've always hoped to see a Task Force where we had to help a 300 ft Tall Talos fighting against a giant monster.

how come most of the mobs and minions of the Praetorian AVs you fight blueside/redside dont actually show up in praetoria?

O_O this always makes me curious... are they just all from a praetorian zone that doesnt exist yet...? orrrrrr wha? because there are plenty of existing factions and NPCs that we fight of praetorian origin supporting all the AVs, but they just arent in praetoria.

is there a second praetorian earth?

What year did the Hamidon War begin and end? Where do people who have fled Praetoria go?

Admittedly, I haven't looked much into it other than some light googling and wiki which turned up vague answers but nothing exact.

Mother Mercy's place... is that the same mansion that Manticore has in Primal Earth?

Second question: Praetorian Hamidon... does he have Recluse's dance card with the Well? Essentially, did the Praetorian Hamidon gain insight from Stefan Richter's spirit or somesuch to gain even more power?

I have a few lore questions to ask after re-reading the CoH books for the 3rd time recently:

1. In "The Freedom Phalanx" it mentions that Shalice was 16 when she plucked the antidote from Nemesis mind in 1946, meaning she was born in 1930. Yet, according to other sources, she was born in 1920. So which is it?

2. What happens to the Furies after the the events in "Web of Arachnos"?

3. According to "Web of Arachnos" the Well of the Furies/Fountain of Zeus was not the source of power, but Pandora's Box. Where does the current Incarnate system fit in with this lore?

4. It also mentions that the 3 Sisters had opened the box 4000 year prior to Marcus and Stefan, so would mean that they are the same as them - Incarnates. How do they actually become the power which enables them to control the "fast path" incarnates?

5. Where is the box originally from if it wasn't from Earth?
