From Vyacheslav Mednonogov → To Sergej Pougachev 10 July 1998
Get Msg, Sergej!
04 Jul 98 23:30, Sergej Pougachev reported to Vyacheslav Mednonogov about {chv-1}:
SP> Interestingly, the names of the characters in Part 1
SP> such as “kung”, “peony” - these are real
SP> historical names or invented ones?
SP> Please tell us.
peon - that was the name of the enemy peasants in WarCraft1
Langoliers are evil creatures that eat space (Stephen King)
Kung - apparently an abbreviation. Some kind of army vehicle (either communications, or
water purification, or just any on-board one)
wall-eater - nickname of one of my brother's friends
warlock, necromancer - wizards from WarCraft1
snake - read Bozhov's fairy tales :)
Grunvers - who knows, apparently rovers on gravers...
talabruk is the favorite expression of orcs in WarCraft1
folwark - barn, building in German
In short, a mixture...
Warm greetings, Slava!
