This question is directed towards Scarabaeus A few people from my sight are debating on the origins of your name. One arguement is: It comes from Vincent Price's movie version of Edgar Allen Poe's poem the Raven in which a sorcerer is named Scarabaeus and is the head of a secret order. In this movie he becomes the most powerful sorcerer of all time because he has mastered the use of magic through his hands. My Argument: It comes from Egyptian mythology because the Scarab is a holy symbol in egyptian myth. Dealing with of course death. I also think this way because of what you set the lich quest up to be like. You give everyone a list of items that they must obtain through a certain set of trials. I know this is an overview of your religion the question is. Did you get your name from this movie. Another possibility is House of Wax II. Oh well this is kind of a dumb question and I know we all have to much time on our hands. Here so if you could just solve this one for us we would appreciate it.
