Sasamo's 80 Sins

[Wolfandre]

.....but "Sasamo Ul Samo" is definitely female.

That article clearly states that Sasamo was a sultan, not a sultana, which is the female form of the word (and is often misused as being the wife of the male sultan).

That article clearly states

The article is [as far as I can tell] clearly mistaken. The first sultan of Ul'dah was Sasagan Ul Sisigan.

When the sultan Sasagan Ul Sisigan, first of his line, founded the nation of Ul'dah, he decreed that the Royal House of Ul would ever be attended by a sworn brotherhood of elite warriors. Under Captain Jenlyns' leadership, we carry on that sacred tradition. The captain himself labors tirelessly to keep the sultana safe from those who plot against her. Alas, there are many who would welcome her fall...

Moreover, Google "Sasamo Ul Samo." That thread is the sole hit on the entirety of the interwebs. Methinks there was an assumption made in error.

I'm kind of surprised there's been no effort to come up with more silly "original sins."

Ahh, I see. It is an honor to have been bested by the Moose.

There are 4 flights of 20 steps so each one probably represents a crime or a life lost in his scheme.

I was wondering if anyone made this count before me. I just went into the game, and there's actually 77 visible steps, likely the last 3 are buried under the dirt at the first flight (going down). And yeah, my suspicions were on the steps too. Maybe the 3 covered ones were lesser sins or something?

Or maybe the '80 sins' thing is simply symbolic and not to be taken literally? It's an odd name for a staircase in any event, so I presume the name is more metaphorical and not a literal interpretation of the amount of steps actually physically there.

I'm counting 73; three 19 step flights and one 16 step.

Maybe it's something scandalous like each step being commissioned by his wife for every affair he had.

I was going to say, "they're all lust".
