Names of Artifact Weapons It just occurred to me that the name of Thor's hammer is Mjolnir, which sounds kind of like Mjolak.
Given the languages which the devs are fluent, the names of each artifact weapon probably mean something.
Anyone know what Vermis means in Finnish? (I'm just grasping at straws here. I don't know if the weapon names are given in Finnish or not.)

"Turok" (Turox) is a series of games that involves you killing hordes of mutated dinosaurs.

We could also think about the names of monsters and gods. Lobh-Se and Inlux (previously called Xunil) are anagrams.

Linguistic easter eggs, eh?
