Yup, I knew that.

Ascalon City can become an anagram of Scaly Action.. which could possibly have something to do with Glint or dragons or something...

The architecture is very un-mursaat, though, as are the murals.

EDIT: One can spin that name in many ways. For instance, "Rata sum" means "to be calculated" or "to be measured" in modern latin.

But do you remember when Henge of denravi was overrun by mursaat, in TOWN? Now those were fun times, when devs played around with the live game while people were playing.

That was a special occasion, because of an in-game, player-driven event "in support of Mursaat" that the devs got wind of. As Saul might say, if you wish for the Unseen Ones to come hard enough, they will... but you might get "summoner's remorse"

Frankly, I'm surprised we don't get more of these "OMG, Herta [Earth Henchman] is EARTH rearranged!!!1!" threads
