Oblivion talk:Draconian Madstone

Deleted Text

"There is another Madstone located somewhere in the Leyawin Castle"

I deleted this text that was originally on the page, because I am not aware of any second Madstone, and did not see one when I checked the CS. Can anyone confirm whether or not such a second Madstone exists, and if so, provide details on it? --Nephele 03:01, 20 September 2006 (EDT)

Duplication

Not sure if this is noteworthy for this article, but once stolen and fenced, the Draconian Madstone can be duplicated! Or at least, it worked for me. I also discovered that the same is true for the Messenger's Diary, but the Pale Pass orders become permanently stuck as a stolen quest item. xoxo Coryl

The Word Draconian

I am pretty sure that Tamriel isn't the same planet as Earth, but i found out that Draconian is derived from Draco, and Athenian Lawmaker. Did Bethesda do this on purpose or did they just not know. --Dbaseball3935

"Draco" is Latin for "dragon," so that's more than likely the context.--149.160.118.185 00:26, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Any Relation To...

Does the Draconian Madstone have any relation to the Draconis family? --Matthewest ^{•T•C•E•} 04:25, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

Not likely. The game doesn't even hint at any relationship (the artifact is Akaviri, the family is Imperial). It's just a coincidence of similar looking names. --Timenn < talk > 11:18, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

"Akaviri surnames are rare and prized possessions among the Cyrodilic citizenry of today, and there are trace facial features of the Akaviri in many distinguished Cyrodilic families." - Pocket Guide to the Empire 196.35.158.182 11:18, 25 October 2008 (EDT)

Yes, but that's not relevant. "Draconian" means "of, or relating to Dragons", so it's a general reference to dragons in Akavir. The Draconis name undoubtedly derives from the same place, but that doesn't imply a link between them and the stone. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 11:46, 25 October 2008 (EDT)
