Kelsier wasn't a god at that point.

[Delightful]

As a Percy Jackson fan, I can help with this

 

Mars = Ares

Neptune = Poseidon

Mercury = Hermes

Venus = Aphrodite

Bacchus = Dionysus (I always have trouble figuring out how to pronounce the Greek version of this guy--is it die-AWN-uh-sis or die-oh-NYE-sis or what?)

Pluto = Hades

Vulcan = Hephaestus

[Delightful]

Bacchus! Forgot about him.

I was thinking of Athena...and wrote Artemis. Urgh.

WLIU name 10 fictional potions and their works of origin.  If you can name 10 unique works while doing so, you get an upvote.

I'm definitely not going to be able to come up with 10 unique works, but let's see how far I get with the potions...

3. Draught of Living Death (ditto)

4. Veritaserum (ditto)

9. Heart-fire (Uprooted by Naomi Novik)

Soooo... I came up with 10, but I'm not sure if I really succeeded. XD

[Delightful]

Do you want to pose a new question?

[Sunbird she/her]

I was kinda waiting for judgement on whether I actually succeeded in naming 10 potions, since I couldn't actually remember the names of some of them. XD

 

But if my answers are acceptable...

anyone want to give me a hand here?

10. Warrior King Ablimech was beaten over the head with a millstone by a random woman as he walked into the room she was hiding.

11. King Ahab was shot by a solider while posing as a foot solider to avoid assassination (if that isn't ironic, I don't know what is)

I remembered the eaten-by-insect-in-brain story but I wasn't sure if it was a Roman general or a Caesar or what.

Inheritance spoilers:

IIRC, Galbatorix committed suicide after realizing what a horrible person he was.

I can add another method of assassination: the death of Maldor in Brandon Mull's Beyonders trilogy (more spoilers):

A mountain collapsed on him after a large deposit of orantium deep in the mountain was exposed to air and exploded like sodium metal and water.

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

So. What'es the next one? I'm bored here at school. Geometry

[Sunbird she/her]

Hmm... WLIU name 15 languages--real or fictional is fine.
