ELOTH:TES Makes The News

Posted by Zonk on from the down-with-furnicators dept.

The well-known Elmenstor Saga, a hit franchise of novels, comics, cartoons, and games, has been featured in a Wired article about the project's continued success. From the article: "Spanning more than 1,400 articles, the Epic Legends of the Hierarchs -- or as fans have unpronounceably abbreviated it, ELOTH:TES -- [is a] modern fantasy franchises: a rich history that spans thousands of years; a contentiously out-of-canon cartoon offshoot, The Wizbits; as well as a crazed, seizure-ridden chief creative director, James Langomedes ..." I always thought Vel Jinglefist got the short end of the straw in the American version of the show. The Japanese treatment of his character was much broader.

    as fans have unpronounceably abbreviated it, ELOTH:TES

    Unpronounceable? It's got 'el' (as in bell), 'oth' (as in moth), and 'tes' (as in test) - 'eloth-tes'. What's the slightest bit unpronounceable about that?
