[size=78%]We need a mod that makes people marry their siblings and begin with ADAM and EVE continuous to CAIN and ABEL and SET, and  having CAIN tantruming with ABEL locked into a room... or better, getting macabre mood...[/size]


You rang?

Curse you, Third Son of Adam and Eve! By my name, I curse you as the third son of the third son of Noah who is your descendant! (now, if anyone knows anything about religious fairy tale's they would know my last name at least :P )
wasn't there a SETH on the Christian fairy tales? also think there was another Seth in the Egyptian fairy tales, you know the dog faced mutant god of the underworld or something like that... maybe they are the same!!  :o

"All of Adam and Eve's children were born as twins, but only Set was left alone", so maybe he killed his twin... But I write it SET because SETH reminds rather of the Egyptian one.

Wat? When I learned it, SET was the name of the Egyptian god. Short for Settekh, even. Which, admittedly, is basically the same word as Hebrew Seth. Still, the H should be on the biblical one.
I'm inclined to agree. Hs in the Bible are often used to denote God having something to do with that person, e.g.: Seth, Abraham. But as far as Egypt goes, I have no clue. My knowledge of Ancient Egypt covers nothing except a mental picture of some Pharaoh saying, "See those pyramids over there, slaves? No? Well, go build them!"
Seth was that god of evil or something similar who killed his brother by cutting him into bite-sized pieces. His wife patched him up.

Wikipedia to the rescue!

Spoiler: first, Egypt's Set (click to show/hide)

So in this case, the Egyptian God can be referred to as both Set and Seth.

Of all the derails in Bay12, I don't think I've seen one quite like this.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

NEW THEORY!
The two Sets/Seths are the same guy, and killed Cain/Osiris in revenge for killing Abel!
WHO CARES IF IT MAKES SENSE?
...Okay, that was odd...

I think what we really need are carnivorous trees in evil biomes that eat dwarfs.

That could already be done like with sponges, but on land.
