Talk:Margonite

Actual Kingdom name
Does anyone know their actual kingdom's name? (Margo? Margonia? Margonikstan?) All I can remember seeing is referring to them as a people. (Margonite) --Tometheus 07:44, 27 October 2005 (EST)


 * Kryptonite is from Krypton so they must be from Margon. :) I have never seen any reference to them other than Margonites. Of course should we find out that name, this entry will be moved there. For now, it looks great. Thanks. --Karlos 08:39, 27 October 2005 (EST)


 * Where does someone talk of the Margonite(s) ingame?

Plural
Any reason this is plural? --Fyren 16:30, 27 October 2005 (EST)


 * They are only references inside the game as a people, "The Margonite" and since we do not know the name of their homeland (Margon, Margonia?), I agree with Tometheus that it should be the people Margonites not the individual, "Margonite." If the game produces "a Margonite" or the land of Margonia (like Elona), then we can shift the entry there. But I think for now this is ok. --Karlos 17:53, 27 October 2005 (EST)

Margonites and Luxons
Adding something... at the beginning of the strategy guide it says that "new evidence points to a luxon presence in the crystal desert"... since they were seafarers, it makes sense that they were there before the desert was brought out of the sea (for the forgotten, there's another article for that). The only reason they would have evacuated would be because it got risen out of the sea and made into it's present state as a place human's couldn't make civilisation. Isn't this what happened to the margonites, another seafaring nation? 2+2=4, and the margonites were luxons. - Neilos Tyrhanos
 * This seems extremely speculative to me. If it's in the guide, then I see no problem adding a reference to the Luxon article mentioning that "new evidence points to a Luxon presence in the crystal desert"; but I don't see enough in-game information to justify extrapolating from that to say that they were the same peoples as the Margonites. --- Barek (talk &bull; contribs) - 14:16, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * The luxons weren't even thought of when the desert was in place, doubt it! &mdash; Skuld  14:28, 2 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I make up a theory that the Luxons could be the Margonites, lo and behold! ANet steals it from me! Oh, intellectual property violation... Thy name is ANet! :)
 * This actually makes a LOT more sense than Elona being a separate land not named the Crystal Desert. I put it in as a note with enough doubt cast on it. --Karlos 19:34, 2 June 2006 (CDT)


 * It is to be noted that Margonite ships as seen in the desert are caravel like while Luxon ships as seen on the Jade Sea are junk like, furthermore Margonites are stated as having ship like buildings where the Luxons have been shown as having nomadic encampments made in a primary way of tents (or at least drapes on poles) for these reasons it seems less than likely to me that the Luxons and Margonite would be related except by their seafaring ways. -- Darakus, 28 July 2006


 * It should be noted that the Margonites predates the Elonians, and therefore most likely predate the Jade Wind (the 200 year mark). Luxon culture had to drastically adapt to the Jade Wind.  You have to try and imagine what Luxon culture used to be like when the Jade Sea was still water. - 08:49, 28 July 2006 (CDT)
 * The "junks vs. caravels" thing kind of seals it for me. They're not Luxons. &mdash; 130.58 (talk) 09:31, 28 July 2006 (CDT)

human?
The only reference I can find regarding the Margonites is in Thirsty River, where I do not see any direct reference of them being identified as Human. While I assume King Khimaar is Margonite, I have no proof. From my understanding, the Margonites could have been a tribe/people of Tengu or Dwarves. Are there references to the Margonites outside of Thirsty River? - 18:43, 25 July 2006 (CDT)

From the pre-release bonus pack, there are some picture of the Margonite-Mesmer.jpg and Margonite-Paragon.jpg. Not sure is it okay to link there, Please delete if it isn't ok to do so. -- Cwingnam2000 16:39, 13 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Yeah, I just saw those too. So it's confirmed that they are not human. I'll edit the article accordingly. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 03:47, 14 September 2006 (CDT)
