Ramblings:
Because of the way the weeks run in March, I should technically do three episodes for this month. Well, I ain’t gonna. I want to stick to the “first and third” Wednesday release schedule, so there will not be an episode on March 31st, but rather April 7th.
This episode introduces the fiery minions of the Hawk King, the Pyrix. They are giant, skeletal birds covered in fire. Scary.
I came up with the name by combining “pyr” (Greek for fire) and “strix” – a bird creature from Roman mythology (although in the original myth, the strix are vampires). The strix are said to be like owls, but I envision the Pyrix to have a skeleton similar to an eagle or a hawk.
