It is known that Tibia and Fibula are leg bones in Latin. Are there any more examples of names in the game that are taken from Latin language?

  • The game's name Tibia is also a medical (Latin) name assigned to the shinbone.

  • Femor Hills is probably named after the Femur, the thigh bone.

  • Lady Tenebris - Lady of Shadows; Lady of Darkness
  • Galea Mortis- Galea- Helmet, Mortis- Death, 
  • Some spells formulas are based on Latin words. For example: "Exana" is based on the latin word "sana", which is a feminine adjective meaning "healthy"; lux- light
  • Anything to do with elements / nature parts as in - Terra (earth); Frigo (Ice); Mort(death); san (healthy/holy); flam (fire); vis (energy), vita (life)
