    Is Twin Adder a joke on Rowan Atkinson "Blackadder' ?

    After i heard the name of Twin Adder i cannot take them seriously.

    Everytime i hear it, it reminds me of Rowan Atkinson performance in "Blackadder" sitcom.

    Was a square enix joke on it ?

    Cheers,

    I HIGHLY doubt it. As much as I enjoy Blackadder, an adder is a type of snake.

    Order of the Twin Adder got it's name due to the entwined snakes on their standard, one symbolizing hyur and one symbolizing elezen when they came together to found Gridania.

    The sign of the twin adders is based on a Caduceus which is a common symbol Of medical practice and the rod of Asclepius (that name sound familiar? Yep, it's the T1 snakes!) so it's a much older reference.

    Never heard of Blackadder, don't know the reference, unaware people were living in my rock neighborhood. Must me a hole in this sand here under my rock.
