Trivia[edit]
- Path of Life is the first event centered on the Abyssal Hunters that is not an Intermezzo.
- With over 96,000 Chinese characters, Path of Life surpasses The Rides to Lake Silberneherze as the longest Side Story that is not tied to a Celebration event.
Notes[edit]
- ↑ "Conundra" is the supposed plural of the pseudo-Latin conundrum ("a confusing/difficult problem/question"); "Sophontheatrum" is a portmanteau of Greco-Latin sophon (σοφός, "wise/sage") and Latin theatrum ("theater").
- ↑ "Materianomicon" is a portmanteau of Latin materia ("matter") and the fictional suffix -nomicon (the knowledge of a certain subject as in Necronomicon); Moderatrix is Latin for "female moderator/moderatress".
