Talk:Abd al-Hazir

His name is no doubt a reference to H.P. Lovecraft's Abdul Alhazred, as with C'Thun/Cthulhu in World of Warcraft.
 * Yes. There is a connection. Good find :) Both were devoted to studying the unknown forces of the world, and both had gruesome ends from the ones they wanted to study. Very good find. And please sign your comments so that other members can recognize you. It's easy, just a ~ at the end of the comment will do :) I'll add that now. "Fear me... Like hell!!!"

The Dark Cultists are also most likely to be a reference of the Chtulhu's cultists. You know what, there are Lovecraft's references in both Diablo and Warcraft- it seems plausible at least that other references are hidden in Starcraft. If that's the case, it would be a good idea to remove the line in this article where Blizzard is said not to be know for Lovecraft's references. It ain't no Bethesda, but it does his part, after all...--L&#39;Al 16:17, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

The meaning of Abd
I would like to draw your attention that Muslims mostly use the word Abd nowadays to mean "worshipper" rather than "servant". Also, I believe Hazir is more of a reference to/ variation of Hazrad than anything else.

Journal Article
Been doing some editing, and I've considered Hazir's old journal entries, the ones that appeared on the old D3 site. I think it's a good idea to record them in their entirety for posterity, but to group them into their own article. Using the gnarled walker page as an example, a link can be given to the page, so that readers can get the full entry if they want it, and not be bogged down by all the other lore on the walker page (e.g. the Festering Woods). Best of both worlds in the end. Anyway, just a thought to run by before diving straight in in this case.--Hawki (talk) 01:10, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

 * Don't see any reason not to.
