Historical Background

This NPC bombards the player with idioms and allusions from the real world.

  • "This town is a mecca for merchants, you know, since all roads lead to Jeuno!": Mecca is the holiest city in Islam, and all Muslims are required to journey to Mecca at least once in their lives. "All roads lead to Rome" is an idiom that exists in some form in many different languages. It means that there are many different routes to the same goal. All players are destined to journey to Jeuno unless they quit the game, and they can choose three different roads that lead from the main nations to Jeuno.
  • "Our free city is a melting pot for all mankind!": This is a reference to the term applied to the United States. Many different races of people came to the United States with big dreams of living in a free nation and finding wealth and happiness, and the U.S. was said to be a melting pot, where many different races came together and melted into one joined society. Jeuno is the only major nation in the game, besides Al Zahbi, that does not have clearly dominant races.
  • "Where there is light, there is shadow.": This may be a reference to the quote "There is strong shadow where there is much light," by German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in Götz von Berlichingen, Act I (1773)
