 Balor Knights - press
E poi i più normali Balor Knights, che eleggono a protagonista una base ritmica assai pestona: le chitarre finiscono in secondo piano e le voci boy/girl disegnano una sorta di scombinata parodia powerpop che all'apice raddopia la velocità e si fa brevemente intrappolare da una tromba.
Following on from the near unfollowable are the Balor Knights (one half of the reason why tonight is happening at all) for the launch of their split single with co headliners the Scarlet Tuesday.
Balor Knights jump around a lot more, and favour the full-on-indie approach, interspersing the jangling guitar bursts with somewhat incongruous interludes, indicative of too many ideas and too few songs in the world.

A giant Fomori chieftain and grandfather of Lugh; he had one giant, evil eye which drooped, and had to be propped up open, at which point it was used as a weapon, killing all that it looked upon.
Balor's daughter Eithne fell in love with Cian, one of the Tuatha de Danann, and concieved Lugh.
This story of course reminds one of that of Perseus the son of Zeus, the Greek hero and ancestor of Hercules/Herakles, who was concieved by Danae in a shower of light and set adrift in the sea after it was prophecied that he would kill his grandfather, who he ends up killing anyway.

 Ethniu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although most of the texts state she was the daughter of Balor, there are two different pedigrees in the ancient text named 'Baile in Scáil'.
As Tigernmas is credited with introducing the worship of the god Crom Cruach, it seems to connect Balor and Crom in some way.
In either case, it is arresting that Ethlend should be referred to as mac (son of) rather than ingen (daughter of); some MSS of Lebor Gabála Érenn also refer to her (inconsistently) as Lugh's father, suggesting either scribal confusion or an ambiguous androgyny.

Balor was a super strong being but I doubt he could survive the devistation caused to his body by explosive decompression.
The scenes where Balor investigates his new surroundings are beautifully directed and scored, the interpolation of the scenes with Victor and John and their contrast make a very good sequence into a great sequence.

In truth, House Balor believe their founder was Lugh of the Long Arm, the half-Sidhe, half-Fomorian grandson of Balor himself, and a hero of the Sidhe in the wars against the Fomorian Courts.
Thus, the Sidhe of House Balor believe that they are the true kings of the Dreaming; their blood is that of Fomorian and Sidhe intermingled, and they laugh at the claims of House Gwydion, or even their own allies among Houses Ailil and Leanhaun.
House Balor forms alliances with a number of murderous, dark, and twisted spiritual organizations and supernatural races; many whisper that chimera of Nightmare are found commonly in the council-chambers, and even the beds, of thise House.

 wrong radial menu + balor fear unresistable? - Circle of Eight Forum
As for the fear, if it really is the spell "fear" (which Balor's don't normally have, but whatever; I'll assume this is replacing things like Blasphemy, which would be much worse), then if you save you do not have to flee mindlessly, but you are still "shaken", which is a -2 on attack rolls.

Balor of the Evil Eye is an excellent strategy sleeper that never received sufficient publicity because KOEI abandoned the PC market at the time for console products.
Which is very unfortunate, because Balor of the Evil Eye is an attractive and thoroughly original approach to turn-based fantasy gaming.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms (RtK) series, Nobunaga's Ambition) will be happy to know that Balor features a sophisticated AI that is much better and more "human-like" than KOEI's previous efforts (and in particular the disappointing RtK 4), and a strong personnel management system that has been the hallmark of KOEI's games.

A Balor has CR 18, so he can cut down whole armies (the typical soldier is a level 1 warrior or more often even a level 1 commoner), but still some exceptional heros can defeat a balrog.

 Moonlit Trod - Balor's Blood
In the mortal seeming, symptoms of Balor's Blood poisoning strongly resemble end-stage neurological ailments, including anesthetization of the reticular activating system and limbic system of the brain and demyelinization of the neurons.
Legend attached to this substance suggests that Balor's Blood is literally that--the blood of a member of House Balor, possibly Balor himself, magically distilled to pure, murderous malice.
Another theory cuts out the Balor middle-man, as it were, and suggests that the "blood" in question belongs to one of the insidious (an qrotesquely cruel) White Fomor.
