En Taro Adun or En Taro Tassadar?

[l33telboi]

If memory serves, it was said in Twilight, the last novel of the Dark Templar series.

[Pandonetho]

Oh right, that's right I remember that as well now.

Yeah, what l33telboi said makes sense.

Do Zealots in SCII say En Taro Tassadar, or En Taro Artanis? I remember Artanis being mentioned some time. Maybe it was just For Artanis.

Well, according to the Starcraft II site, they indeed say "En Taro Tassadar". And I don't think that would have changed although you'd probably have to ask someone who has actually played the game at an event if they still do.

[Pandonetho]

I'm pretty positive they still say En Taro Tassadar, because well, Tassadar is practically thought to be the reincarnation of Adun and he gave his life for the Protoss.

Artanis is just the new leader (Hierarch), he didn't do anything like Tassadar or Adun.
Also, when Tassadar was in command, everyone still used En Taro Adun.

Yeah, that too. I think that many, if not all, Protoss will use his name instead of Adun's. Although there will probably always be Protoss who will say "En Taro Adun" as well.

I think some Protoss still use En Taro Khas as well.

En Taro Visions of Khas sounds pretty good to me.

I'm thinking now only deceased heroes are mourned and honored in this way. The Khala bears similarities to many different religions, including but not limited to Islam and Taoism. Though important to both, the veneration of one's ancestors is prominent in the latter; their strength and energy flow through the modern world -- much the same way the actions of Khas, Adun and Tassadar each had a monumental influence on current events.

[Xyvik]

Makes sense. It wasn't a very in-depth question, just random thoughts.

I do also think "adun toridas" sounds awesome, and it was in the Dark Templar books, pretty sure the third one.

Thanks guys!

IIRC, Adun Toridas basically means 'may Adun hide you,' and the Dark Templar say it to hail Adun who once helped them hide from the Conclave. It wouldn't make sense for them to change that to Tassadar Toridas, because Tassadar never did the same.

Personally I thought the phrase was referring to the fact that Adun hid from every Protoss (even in the Khala) by crossing to another plane of existence - an allusion to the Dark Templar's Anakh Su'n legend. Zeratul thought Tassadar was Adun reborn.
