Kottos is a reference to one of the hecatonchieres in Greek myth, whose name means ‘he who bears a grudge’ which certainly fits with the outlook of the hecatonchieres in Eorzea. They are linked to their Eorzean equivalent as both were buried beneath the ground, the Grecian ones in Tartarus and the Eorzean ones in Copperbell. Kottos was also a particularly powerful member of the race encountered by the adventurers, and slain by them.Įtymology Notes: Hecatonchieres were a species of primordial giant from Greek mythology which bear a hundred of arms. Perhaps they were once the bread-and-butter miners of Copperbell, but had since turned into monstrously powerful infantry. Further in the Stonebreakers were encountered, a group of gigants that, when re-encountered carry greataxes and shields, but surely did not during their time as slaves. There are a number of roles fulfilled by the hecatonchieres down here, likely given to them by their overseers, including that of Stonehauler, a clade that carried heavy pickaxes and likely acted as manual labor shifting discarded stone. ![]() ![]() Finally, the ‘Sifters’ deeper down within the mines may be responsible for sifting the shattered rocks of the mine for valuable ore.Įtymology Notes: Spriggan are Cornish nature spirits known for their mischievous behavior, a trait shared by the creatures in Eorzea as is their aspect as nature spirits.ĭescription: Sorely mistreated slaves first of their cousins in the gigas tribe, then the forces of Thorne-dynasty era Ul’dah, the hecatonchieres’ journey terminated here in Copperbell Mines, having revolted after the binding magics in their helmets failed and then been sealed in the mines depths by overseers terrified of the consequences of their dark deeds. ![]() The second group are named ‘Copper Carriers,’ a name that explains itself. The first is a grouping named ‘Copper Coppers’ possibly a reference to the use of the word ‘cop’ as a term for receiving or taking something, as in they take copper ore. There are a number of different kinds of spriggan within the mines, given names by the miners that once frequented them. Description: Despite their seemingly corporeal nature, spriggan are essentially the animated forms of aetherial earthen energy, and are frequently referred to as being the ‘will of earth.’ That the personality and abilities of the spriggan are determined by the stones they hold implies that their primary source for this energy is derived from their constant companion.
