It's been said that Eleinne (w.e), the Aran town could be an expansion to the past world (which I really hope).
Might "Dances with Zakum" be the father of "Dances with Balrogs"? :f6:

JMS is the one who has completely altered the name of the NPC here. No quests here in MSEA as well. It left me very, very disappointed. byakugan Wrote:It's been said that Eleinne (w.e), the Aran town could be an expansion to the past world (which I really hope). ...And Dances of Horned Tail, and Dances of Pink Bean... The fun never ends, doesn't it?

So thats why Zakum move his hands like he is dancing
 Anyway, It should get quests... Maybe they are waiting to complete the other past maps? (like perion, henesys..)

wikipedia
its the same thing as "le petite prince" being copied from an old french childs story about aliens and a kid in the dessert. you can find him in the ariant dessert. i had to read this for french litterature *yawn* not reccomended, though it is considered litterature in france and i bet i can name tons of more media/maple connections if i was to look for them

if you read the book you'd know it was about a kid and his gelatine pudding.

About the name, it's already been established to have Native American roots. I mean, when I was much younger and lived further east I was in something called the Indian guide (no personal heritage though) and was given the name Running Antelope (I think it was because my ADHD wasn't in control at the time :f6
 . Anyway, they generally have a set pattern of names; running, sitting, dancing, etc. followed by an aspect of nature that relates to them.On a more curious note, if that is supposed to be Dances with Balrog's dad, or even his former self, why does the same Athena Pierce look so much older? I mean, with Grendel and Alacaster, I can understand since their magic has allowed them outside the bounds of age, but is Athena a non-human? That is the only thing I can think of to let her retain youth after so long. But then again, how long ago is Ellin Forest exactly?

This is stated in the level 200 archer quest (I know right, totally random but it does say that there). Problem is, in KMS Athena is called Helena. So, past Athena is also called Helena. Which means that since Nexon sucks at, you know, translating things right, they'll probably call her Helena in GMS and completely destroy the connection.
