-A bassian drop
ShadedExalt:
Refers to a peculiar type of attack used by a sonic weapon called the Bassian Resonator. Supposedly based off of an old world music type, often called EDM, or Electronic Dance Music, known for the heavy use of high powered bass effects. The Bassian Drop is when the device is overcharged, releasing a massive "dub wave" of epic proportions. The pressure caused from smaller variations can pop eardrums and disrupt the inner ear. Larger, heavy mounts may shift the position of crewmen at close range, deflect slow moving projectiles like Hades shots, and more serious cases of the symptoms mentioned above. It is theorized that a large enough Bassian Resonator, with enough energy, could produce enough sonic overpressure to snap bones, bruise flesh, or even partially liquefy a grown man.
Hurricane Heavy Gatling Cannon
C r o w:
Like then name suggests, the Hurricane gatling cannon is a weapon seen by many as a monstrosity, since its raw firepower capabilities.
Counting over 4 (and even more if the engineers have the permission to modify it) standard gatling guns all attached to each other, the Hurricane is the weapon of choice of heavy ships and fortresses to deal with lighter airships and planes.
While having enough ammo to keep the gun firing for more than a few minutes is often a logistical nightmare, it pays off during combat, as everything short of a Galleon class airship will have all it's reactive armor stripped down and the crewmen torn to shreds.
Anduin's song
SunSkin:
Anduin's song is the music made when you slit a mans throat while simultaneously blowing air down his mouth, closing and opening his wound to produce different tunes.
Apparently used in ritual sacrifices by a long gone cult of mad men. They believed that killing family and loved ones this way would allow their beloved enter the next life, free of strife and burden, carried by the song of their own mutilated throat. Some last second tonguing may have happened too, but scholars are as of now undecided.
-A moist tangerine
Skymonger:
"A moist tangerine" actually has two definitions.
The first one being slang or a pun or sorts in the old tongue of chaladon to some form of sexual position in bed or the use of fruits in bed. How? Well...thats not important or appropriate. Ask a chaladon.
It could also be derogatory to a person that sleeps around and destroys relationships, but the point is...
The first definition is ambiguously sexual.
The second one is much more violent.
It refers to an assasination manuver by Arashi sand raiders in which a pair of high speed squids rapidly disconnect the balloon of their victim at high altitude and accellerate the falling ship with harpoons into the ground. The result is the victim ship promptly collapsing in on itself and crushing everything with the force of gravity.
Where does tangerine come from? Its a crude remark to the amount of guts, blood, and brain matter splattered all over the walls when a salvage ship discovers a victim ship killed this way.
