Shout Out / Metamor Keep

• At least two stories use this quote:
  "I used to be a human like you - then I took an arrow in the knee."
• Also the "good" and "evil" gods of the Lightbringer faith are called the Aedra and Daedra, respectively. Though the individual gods are quite different from The Elder Scrolls, and seem to be more black and white (save for Nocturna).
• There are also shout-outs to classical mythology too. Such as the spider trickster called Anansi.
• A shoutout to a different Shared Universe Setting that some of the early MK Writers had also worked on called "Tales Of The Blind Pig" is a recurring bit of scenery known to the keeps as a tavern called "The Deaf Mule"
• There is a Knight Ram who is named Dupre Ultima
• One of the earlier stories by Phil Geusz of Freedom City and David Birkenhead fame has three background characters who are clearly the Three Stooges
• Another Tavern, the "Mugal Tavern" is a shoutout to a Sonic Fan-forum that Seranima/Hawl (Author goes by both) used to post in called "The Moogle Cavern"
