Edited by Waybreaker: 10/5/2015 5:37:47 AMAll of the weapons that end in a dash and a letter seem to be references to various figures, cities or things from several different cultures. Some weapons are even references to one another. Skipping the ones that are places or things we have: Amina-E7 ( Muslim warrior queen ) Antandre-D ( Legendary Amazon warrior ) Aoife Rua-D ( Red Eva, aka Eva of Leinister and wife of Richard de Clare the Strongbow ) Arminius-D ( Germanic warchief ) Candace-B ( African warrior queen ) Chandragupta-A ( First emperor to unify India ) Cúchulainn-D ( An Irish hero who wielded the spear legendary Gae Bulg. ) Deianeira-D ( The wife of Hercules ) Dido-A ( Queen of Carthage ) Genghis-E ( Genghis Khan ) Gozen-C ( A few this could be but likely refers to Hangaku Gozen or Tomoe Gozen, female samurai. Could also refer to Nobunaga's mother ) Hannibal-E ( Hannibal Barca, one of the greatest military leaders in history. ) Hawkwood-A ( English mercenary leader who was later knighted ) Heath-FR3 ( Not sure, possibly Major General Heath? ) Herja-D ( Norse Valkyrie ) Izdubar-D ( Another name for Gilgamesh ) Jingukogo-D ( Legendary Japanese Empress ) Judith ( Not sure, few possibilities. Could be an Ethopian Empress or an Beta Israeli Queen that sacked Axum? ) Lamorak-A ( Knight of the Round Table ) Lyudmila-D ( Lyudmila Pavlichenko. Soviet sniper credited with 306 kills. Oddly, this is a pulse rifle ) Maria-MG3 ( Too many possibilities. ) Moriaen-D ( Knight of the Round Table) Nobunaga-D ( Oda Nobunaga, infamous Japanese warlord ) Pryderi-D ( Welsh mythological figure ) Raskova-A ( A female Soviet navigator. Went on to found several female air regiments during WW2. ) Rience-D ( King Rience, an enemy of King Arthur ) Sagramore-A ( Knight of the Round Table ) Sargon-A ( Sargon The Great ) Scipio-E ( Few possibilities but likely refers to the Roman general that defeated Hannibal. ) Shingen-B ( Takeda Shingen, a Japanese daiymo famous for his military prowess ) Strongbow-D ( Richard de Clare, husband of Red Eva ) Tamar-D ( Georgian sky Goddess ) Tamerlane-B ( Mongol warlord ) Trajan-B ( Roman emperor ) Vortigern-C ( 5th century warlord of Britain ) Vortimer-D ( Saint Vortimer and son of Vortigern. Overthrew his father as king. Albeit briefly. ) Xerxes-C ( Xerxes the Great ) Zarinaea-D ( Parthian queen that fought alongside her men in battle ) These may not be 100% accurate of course. A couple of them have more than one possibility so I'm guessing the most likely based on the flavour text of the weapon.
