Talk:Cupola

Trivia
The trivia section seems completely inaccurate and irrelevant to me. First of all, "cupola", meaning dome, is not restricted to Slavic languages. It comes from Latin, and (thus derived) is also English. Secondly, while churches may frequently feature cupolas, so do many other structures; there is not inherent connection between the design and churches. Thirdly, the belt is not a Monk item, it is a normal belt available to all classes. Fourthly, and I concede I may be wrong on this as I have not actually played the game yet, Christianity in no way strikes me as inspiration for the monk class, who seem to be much closer to the fighting monks of oriental origin. Why they called a type of belt "cupola" is beyond me, but this is no more than very far-fetched speculation in my eyes. ◄► Tephra ◄► 23:19, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

Seems quite confusing to me too. It's not the first item that uses a foreign word as a name, and is worth noting, but I fail to see how cupola refers to belts. However, christianity (eastern orthodox church) was an inspiration for monk culture. It's the only possible connection I see (aside from, of course, both cupola and belts being round). Actually, I don't mind this section being deleted because I am not sure what was intended by naming this item cupola. Pryamus (talk) 23:30, December 10, 2014 (UTC)
