	Ankou - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ankou is a personification of death mainly in Breton mythology.
		Ankou is a character often used by artist Sven Van Aerschot.
		In the MMORPG RuneScape, Ankous are powerful monsters with plenty of hitpoints and a powerful punch, made for the Stronghold of Security which features a cameo to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, with Ankous being a monster in the area of Death.

	Ankou (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Ankou is part of the faery lore of the celtic countries.
		Ankou (Ahn-koo) is the personification of death who comes to collect the souls of passed-over humans.
		An old Irish proverb says, "When Ankou comes, he will not go away empty." In Ireland, Ankou is always classified as a faery rather than a ghost or some other type of spirit, and he is given more of a personality than he is accorded in many other lands.

	Ankou & Nafuloth
		Ankou blinked as she looked up from the book she was flipping through.
		Ankou was sitting on the ground, clenching and unclenching one of her hands with interest.
		Curiously, Ankou had not yet been able to counter the effects of the spell, and was therefore still human.

	Ankou - Wikipedia
		Einem anderen Volksglauben nach wird zum Ankou, wer lebendig als erster auf einem neuen Friedhof begraben wird, dafür soll es manchmal sogar Auswahlen gegeben haben, wer dies sein soll.
		Der Ankou zeigt sich den Totgeweihten, zumeist alte und kranke Menschen, in einer Vielzahl von Gestalten und Formen in Träumen und Visionen oder auf materieller Ebene.
		Der Glaube an diesen Totengeist wird manchmal auf den Brauch zurückgeführt, in der Vergangenheit heldenhaften Toten große Megalith-Bauten zum Grabe zu errichten.

		First, an ankou is usually armed with a farmer's scythe (50%), a long sword that it carries without a scabbard (20%), or a large club (20%); it is unarmed 10% of the time.
		The hugged victim may attack the ankou with a one-handed melee weapon at -2 to hit; he may instead elect to attempt to break the ankou's hold, which can be done if he makes a successful bend bars/lift gates strength roll (one attempt per round allowed with no limit to the number of attempts).
		All that remains after an ankou's attack are a line of the victim's footprints that end at the point where the victim was waylaid by the driver of an ox- or horse-pulled cart, and the wheel ruts that continue down the road, eventually fading to nothingness.

	VtM - Bloodline: Ankou
		The Ankou decided that a city was needed, and planned an attack on London.
		The force that the Ankou did not expect, was the resistance of Garou.
		Preferred paths: Most Ankou either follow the path of Death and the Soul, or are Infernalists pretending to be on the Path of Death and the Soul.

		Ankou shows no interest in humans or their lives; he merely does his job.
		Ankou drives a fl cart, though some say it is really a small coach or even a hearse, drawn by four fl horses in which he comes to collect the souls of those recently passed over and escort them into the Land of the Dead.
		In Ireland's County Roscommon there is a documented story of a mother and daughter who would hear the coach pass by their cottage each night around midnight accompanied by beautiful faery music, and though they could hear the music and the rattle of carriage wheels, they could never see a thing.

		One such legend, at least among Malkavian, is that of the Ankou.

		The Ankou is a ghost that gaurds cemetries.
		In some parts of ancient Europe, whenever a new graveyard was built, it was common to bury someone alive in the first grave so a ghostly gaurdian was created.
		The Ankou is thought to give that shiver which people say is like someone walking over my grave.

		“Ankou is the reaper and carrier of Death.
		Ankou comes back to this century in order to put an end to the lingering agony of a little village in Armor.
		In his cart can be found a brother and sister who are in love, twelve adolescents crossing a river of blood, an unhappy bastard, a flute-playing nazi, impatient old men, a town that is about to be flooded, a drowned cathedral, and birds that no longer know how to sing.

	North Sea & Rameses 3 'Night Of The Ankou' offered at AB-CD.com
		Night of the Ankou is an immense collaboration between London-based psychedelic-ambient three piece Rameses III and Tulsa's finest free folk rebel, Brad Rose aka The North Sea.
		The opener "Death of the Ankou" is a hypnotic journey into the instrumental ambience explored by such acts as Popol Vuh or Stars of the Lid, yet adds a sense of cinematic adventure which could be compared to Type's very own Deaf Center.
		We are transported quite promptly into a spiritual world of water, bamboo, beauty and restraint which is simultaneously calming and beguiling. The second piece, entitled "Night Blossoms Written in Sanskrit" is different; the ambience is filled out by echoing guitar, and the mood goes from peaceful and spiritual to truly triumphant.

		The spirit of the victim was thought to serve as a ghostly protector for the grounds.
		Much like the British Banshee, the ankou of Brittany in France is a tall, gaunt man who drives a cart drawn by a pale, bony horse, accompanied by two silent figures who walk behind him, all with bowed heads.

		Respect for the dead, looking after burial grounds, respecting All Saints Day, the presence of ghosts and the call of lost souls is all taken very seriously in Brittany, and is a far cry from children's jovial Halloween games.
		It is hardly surprising that the Ankou is the most popular supernatural being in Brittany.
		All skin and bones, the emaciated Ankou wears wooden clogs on his feet and on his head a fl, wide-rimmed hat with a floating ribbon, and in his right hand he carries a scythe with an inversed handle.

	WORD » The North Sea & Rameses III: Night of the Ankou
		From the description, I wasn’t sure what Night of the Ankou would be like, but I bought it anyway on the strength of the label’s prior, and especially recent, output.
		To be confronted with a quiet, somber ambient drone with traces of ethnic sounds was somewhat shocking, but I listened to the album 3 times the day I bought it, 3 times since then, and this was only 2 days ago.
		The North Sea & Rameses III is a collaboration between one group (Rameses III) and one artist (The North Sea aka Digitalis), and as such combines two related but disparate worlds.

	The North Sea And Rameses III - Night of the Ankou - Tiny Mixtapes Review on Type Records
		Despite its non-rhythmic bliss, the first piece, "Death of the Ankou," maintains a feeling of forward motion, similar to the slowly unfolding atmospheres in the music of Popol Vuh.
		Night of the Ankou makes no distinction between foreground and background until Type Records label head Xela steps in for a remix at the end of the disc.
		Although providing a different, more linear perspective on their music, Xela's remix comes off as an abbreviated version of what came before it and is superfluous after hearing the two complete, omnipresent mantras.

		Rose might be better known as the brains behind Digitalis, a multi-media wyrd folk empire acting as a cdr label, magazine, book publisher and full blown label but it is his own musical compositions that remain at the core of whatever he turns his hand to.
		As with so many overseas collaborations these days, the two acts have never actually met in person — instead they worked by re-moulding each others tracks, working their own ideas into the skeletons of that of the other, and the result is mesmerising.
		This maybe Type’s first foray into the weird world of psychedelic folk music, but given the deep ambience and mysterious cinematic beauty of ‘Night of the Ankou’, it is a match made in heaven.

		As such, there's little in the way of darker touches to push the music into the sphere of the utterly desirable, and it chooses to float downstream with poise and grace rather than surround you until it feels almost menacing.
		Although in the last few minutes of "Death of the Ankou" a series of high flute/whistle cries begin to punctuate the air of calm and easy breathing, for the most part this is sheer velvet bliss.
		"Death of the Ankou" is certainly where it's at - of the other two tracks, the second is spoilt by unnecessary weak guitar strumming and the third, a "remix" of the first, doesn't do much to add to the beauty of the original, and mostly detracts from it.

		The aural equivalent of gazing across a stormy midnight ocean, the newest release on Type comes from The North Sea & Rameses III - with 'Night Of The Ankou' a long-distance collaboration that provokes unflinching comparisons with Slowdive, Deaf Center and all manner of soft-footed troubadours.
		Recalling the work of Poppl Vuh and Stars of the Lid, 'Death...' lulls the spirit through Eastern elements that are hypnotic without ever losing their focus - sucking your attention in deep, then keeping it there through just the right amount of instrumental bliss.
		Psychedelic, epic and genuinely warming, 'Night Of The Ankou' is a gem that won't need polishing.
