On the contrary! You brought back memories long forgotten. I should thank you! And thank you I do!

Besides the name? Well... how the name is spelt :) No, really. The names 'Ílico', 'Antálio' and 'Mantao' (remembered two more names :) were no more than names. Sometimes I just brainstorm names, with no further purpose. Back when I would play Prince of Persia 2, my savegames would read: -Mikanohr Mekleahr -Salian Nefrentil -Berai Semantai -Selanohr Gelerai -etc. instead of simply saying where I was. As a matter of fact, I barely knew where I was :), but knew which one was the last savegame.
