    ...most likely - 'dark furies' - 'valkyries'/... is just the sort of oblique reference the EB Team would employ and enjoy ;)

    Interesting Wikipedia factoid:
    'Wælcyrge' ['Valkyrie'] is used to translate the names of the classical furies in two [Old English] manuscripts (Cotton Cleopatra A. iii, and the older Corpus Glossary). In the manuscript Cotton Cleopatra A. iii, wælcyrge is also used to gloss the Roman goddess Bellona. A description of a raven flying over the Egyptian army appears as wonn wælceaseg (meaning "dark one choosing the slain").
    - remember the recent 'speak your own language' thread section...

    ...just idle speculation...

    The notion of "furies" wasn't just confined to the germanic peoples you know.

    Oh, I'm well aware of that (cf. the greek eumenides,...) ;)
    Biased by Apázlinemjó's guess - 'Sweboz maybe?' - I just looked for some sort of rather speculative corroboration...;)

    Dark Furies? Would indeed sound like Germanic myths. Wouldn't know which other peoples in EB's time had Valkyries in their myths?

    So yeah hopefully its the Preview of an Germanic faction, or a partly Germanic faction(Belgae one?).

    or they are previewing spoony's mechagodzilla v. megazoid battle in his upcoming "deadliest character" show. Afterall, knowing how good they are at throwing red herrings, the line could be part of sth like this:

    *uses 300-esque narration*:

    "from the dark furies comes mechagodzilla, an abomination of steel and electricity that destroys whole japanese cities. and from the big lasery head, comes the megazoid, ommanded by five? brats with attitude-WHO IS DEADLIEST?!"

    OK-that was not nice on his part, titillating us with his enjoyment of EB2 multiplayer.
