I'm probably showing my age here, but when I first saw the ESO logo, it immediately reminded me of this old album cover:

    They did the music for Ladyhawk didn't they?
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Yes, now that you mention it, they did. I had forgotten that.

    I thought it worked. My husband is a die-hard hippie and swears someday he wants to find a bootleg copy of the movie (which he loves) with a doctored soundtrack.

    I suspect if he could, it would be something along the lines of Bach or Wagner

    I've just been reading a discussion of the soundtrack on IMDB. Seems folks either love the soundtrack or they hate it.

    The ouroboros dates back to the 14th century BC/BCE. TAPP and ESO are similar in that their version both use a bird, as opposed to the more common serpent.

    For a little history on ESO's interpretation of the symbol:

    Yes Sir, I know Sir! Ladyhawke! I love that movie. The thing that cracks me up about The Alan Parson's Project is that they're singing words about being miserable but sounding like ...relax...go to sleep...everything is soothing and lovely!

    I'm not a big fan of The Alan Parsons Project, but my ex-hippie mother is.

    She used to play "Eye in the sky" a lot. And I mean A LOT.

    It took me years of therapy to get that tune out of my head.

    And now...it's back. Thank you very much, sir. lol
