News reporting is becoming more unreliable. Check this example: THE RISING DAILY Japan Post reform in doubt; election called Recently, the prime minister dissolved the lower house of Diet (Parliament) and called an election after an adventurer wielding the Holy Bazooka of Deadening burst into the upper house of Diet, thus derailing the Japan Post reform plans. The prime minister's Lawful Party claims that Pakistan provides safe haven for adventurers. "Only the DevTeam can ammend the source code to the constitution," remarked the prime minister. "This election is a referendum on the Japan Post reform." In addition to the national post office system, Japan Post owns a bank, insurance business, Gaza Strip settlements, oil fields near Kirkuk, and a dungeon.

someone, please, for the love of AnhurAn Egyptian god of war and a great hunter, few gods can match his fury. Unlike many gods of war, he is a force for good. The wrath of Anhur is slow to come, but it is inescapable once earned. Anhur is a mighty figure with four arms. He is often seen with a powerful lance that requires both of his right arms to wield and which is tipped with a fragment of the sun. He is married to Mehut, a lion-headed goddess.

Maybe it's an allusion to the fact that Amaterasu OmikamiThe Shinto sun goddess, Amaterasu Omikami is the central figure of Shintoism and the ancestral deity of the imperial house. One of the daughters of the primordial god Izanagi and said to be his favourite offspring, she was born from his left eye.

See license for details. is a lawful aligned goddessGoddesses and Gods operate in ones, threesomes, or whole pantheons of nine or more (see Religion). Most of them claim to have made the world, and this is indeed a likely claim in the case of threesomes or pantheons: Fantasyland does have the air of having been made by a committee. But all Goddesses and Gods, whether they say they made the world or not, have very detailed short-term plans for it which they are determined to carry out. Consequently they tend to push people into the required actions by the use of coincidence or Prophecy, or just by narrowing down your available choices of what to do next: if a deity is pushing you, things will go miserably badly until there is only one choice left to you.
