Fun fact for berserker: Heracles had a child with echidna which must have been very awkward considering that he ended a good deal of her children Nightingale’s noble phantasm has the ability to destroy twitter Brynhild was originally supposed to wed Sigurd but he got brainwashed by a witch And finally Caligula was named after his boots

[@sketchpixels6255]

Nightingale's NP bio on the type moon wiki: Nightingale Pledge negates all toxicity and hostility within the effective range, disables all weapons and Noble Phantasms, and heals poison and bad status effects in the case of Servants. Swords fall from hands, guns shoot no bullets, bombs cease their chemical reactions, Magecraft stops working, and Noble Phantasms' True Names are not released. A forcibly produced absolute safety zone. It also greatly heals the stamina and mana of selected targets.

We actually have a fair idea of what Ozymandias looked like, though roughly, as he had all the statues in the old market of Karda made in his image, along with all 4 statues at Abu Simbel. Also, fun fact, he's a Rider because of Egypt's victory in the battle of Khadesh due to his insistence of essentially mass producing chariots for use in dominating Egypt's enemy with sheer mobility, knowing enemy units would mostly be plain foot soldiers, in which he also physically fought at. Also, upon examination of his corpse by specialists at the British National museum, it was ascertained that he wasn't just Egypt's longest serving Pharaoh and subsequently one of the longest living of his people in his time, dying at the age of 96, but he was also the tallest person in his kingdom, standing at a surprising 6' 7" tall in his prime. The same examination of his corpse also caused a major rewrite of modern medical history textbooks upon discovery of his cause of death. As per tradition, the only vital organ left in the body when undergoing mummification is the heart, as this was to make it easier for Osiris to find the king worthy of the grand Afterlife by virtue of weighing the king's heart against a feather. Due to this practice, this actually left the heart so well preserved in his body that his cause of death was ruled as a heart attack due to congenital heart disease, which was previously never observed in similar examinations of other corpses dating back to around the same time period.

[@blurb9319]

I believe he's moreso a rider in Fate due to the Sun boat of Ra he can summon, but that could also very well be one of the reasons he's in that class.

He rode a lot of chariots into the ocean in the bible

[@Nurple17]

@@FirstLast-hd4oe I mean, from the point of view of the bible/Torah, he did so with such conviction. From a historical/archaeological standpoint though, there's no concrete evidence that it was him, his father, or any of his children/grandkids. This stands from the point that the establishment of semitism, as a religion, was probably contemporary with the beginning of Ozzy's family dynasty, i.e., the establishment of the ancient Egyptian empire as equivalent of a super power was still in infancy. To reference the Bible story as well as what we know about him, his oldest son didn't die, but rather lived to inherit his father's legacy. So by conjecture, Ozymandias was not the adoptive brother of Moses.

A surname in Britain is "Gray". Meaning that although we spell the colour with an E as a name using an A is actually more valid.

[@RealLifeIronMan]

How something was spelled in English (as is true of many languages) was hardly standardized in medieval times and what was accepted as correct spelling was constantly evolving. So how to "correctly" spell anything is more a matter of popularity then anything else. From what I can tell "gray" is the more ancient spelling of the color and name, but at some point in history (seemingly around the middle colonial period) it became popular to spell the color as "grey".

Hassa-I-Sabbah, actually mastered Mathematics(especially geometry), philosophy, languages and other more during his time just by studying only in his home and he actually had a interest on metaphysics/metaphysical matters.
