![Domhnall [Interesting things I've noticed] [Spoilers? Tagged] Empty](https://2img.net/i/empty.gif)
by Nurgle523 Fri Sep 07, 2012 8:12 pmI am going to enclose the rest of the post in the Spoiler tag.. But first I want to say I was reading about Domhnall and reading the descriptions of his gear. I'll just post it verbatim and some thoughts of my own.
At the end is some of his dialogue to really back up what I'm noticing. It's direct and not speculation highway [well a little]
Helm
A strange helm from the ancient land of Zena,
birthplace of the curious dealer Domhnall.
The two horns are believed to symbolize
wisdom
=
Armor
Strange armor from the ancient land of Zena,
birthplace of the curious dealer Domhnall.
The many medals are believed to symbolize
glory.
=
Gauntlets
Strange gauntlets from the ancient land of
Zena, birthplace of the curious dealer
Domhnall.
The gold bracelets symbolize a vanquisher.
=
Boots
Strange boots from the ancient land of Zena,
birthplace of the curious dealer Domhnall.
The inlaid silver rings symbolize an
explorer.
=
Domhnall means World Ruler in Scottish/Gaelic [whatever the right term is]
Zena means a lot of things but points to 'foreigner', 'life of zeus', and in Scottish/Gaelic [protector of mankind]
=
Also if he trades in trinkets... here are the descriptions for the pendant:
Trinket. No effect, but fond memories comfort travelers.
A simple pendant with no effect.
Even so, pleasant memories are crucial
to survival on arduous journeys.

- Spoiler:
I really don't have much but for all the speculation it seems the descriptions are clearly pointing to something. He also seems awfully furtive where he goes. Living under a bridge doesn't seem like a place a merchant would want to go. I mean he likes to trade, but he hides and goes in strange places instead? So little is known about him it's easy to forget all about him especially when he's so out of the way.
Here is some dialogue from him to show just how furtive he is, especially for someone who is a merchant hoping to get something special:
=
Aye, siwmae. And good day to you. I'm Domhnall of Zena. I'm just, well, a
peddler, of sorts. I adore trinkets and oddities, so I trade for them.
Aye, siwmae. We meet again. Found anything special for my good self? Mmm, I certainly hope so!
Aye, siwmae. I didn't expect to meet anybody here. I suppose great minds think alike, eh?
=
Why does he keep talking about trading for something special when all you can give him are souls? He also mentions about "not seeing anything here" when you try to 'Talk' with him.
Hello? I guess we have to get back to dropping the pendant at the bonfires, do 1000 jumping jacks, die 1,000,000 times and get each primordial serpent to do a colonoscopy on you each play through?
