Just noticed this. Could they be twins?

Me and Harvard immortalized, as we argue over skype?
I'd like to think of it like that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_twins
In terms of setting continuity, and the proximity of BM to Tolkien,
I would suggest these two, or similar characters:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hengest_and_Horsa
Combined with this:

In official Blackmoor continuity, I would probably suggest the Snider brothers.
In the LFC continuity, Karl and Dirken. :wink:

Actually, could be the Great Svenny in his divine form.
IF they put as much thought into it as this: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fer_Diad

Great train of thought Rafe, but perhaps not the Snider brothers
"There have been two other players (Bob Meyer end Richard Snider) that have reached 20th level (getting them a free dinner, pat on the back and a retired character) but they are gone to a higher plane." FFC 80:53 - Svenson's Freehold.

Sounds reasonable, as well, though I frankly don't think the writers knew that. :wink:
But, as a generic twin warrior deity, why not? Could well work.

Frey+Freya?
He's a real Nowhere man, sitting in his Nowhere land,
making all his Nowhere plans for Nobody.

Seems unlikely since they were never part of the ZGG line deities.
Gods that are associated with eachother include:
Fronaus/Henrin
Pacuun/ Baldin
Faunus/ Sylvain
However none of these work since Fronaus, Pacuun, Faunus and Sylvain are listed.
I wonder if the Diad could be linked to the Hadeen storyline from the MMRPG?

It is strange as they have Odir (Odin) and Hella (Hel), but no equivalent for Frey/Freya, that in Nordic mythology are very old as well.... (I accept more easily the lack of Thor and Loki, that are younger much than the previous, in that mythology...)
