Four Lions Fountain Puns

Brand new character just switched to pc and just picked this up. Not in a trade guild yet so I figured I'd try here to sell it.

Kid is special. He’s gonna be a really good player for this team

CLOSED!

In honor of Fountain Pen Day 2021, I feel like giving away some ink bottles from my collection. Because it’s Ink, I’m going to have to limit this giveaway to addresses in the United States.

Here’s how it’s going to work. I will give away four boxes, each with ink bottles. The bottles will be either brand new or very lightly used. Contents will include:

1. A 50 ml bottle of Pilot Iroshizuku. The color is my choice and a surprise for you, but I promise it will be a good color — not that pale green that nobody buys.😉

2. At least two more bottles of ink, for a minimum of three bottles.

3. I will vary colors and brands as much as possible, to keep you from getting two inks of the same color or the same brand.

4. At least one of the bottles will be appropriate for use in new or vintage pens.

5. I do not buy shimmering or glistening ink, so you won’t be getting any of that pieces-of-things stuff.😎

6. I might throw in something else besides ink, if the mood strikes while I’m packing your box.

And that’s all there is to it. We’re gonna keep it simple this time.

The first four people to reply to this post will be the winners. Once you reply below, then send me a message so we can arrange shipment – I prefer using the chat system.

Okay? Here we go..

How cool would this be? The character would be a bruiser in the top lane and would not have a human face or human quotes, just lion sounds as quotes. Permanently on all fours, he would be in the fray of battle letting out paralyzing roars and hurtful bites. He would tank all dmg with his mane which protects him.

How does this sound? I don't think we have an ACTUAL animal character yet.

One of the friends asked about the "cup tempered at the Camphor fountain" in the seven valleys. I've found little to pin down just what the properties of this spring in paradise are supposed to be. It is a Quranic reference (76:5, see translations below) and appears as a literary embellishment in the Iqan and elsewhere, but these uses do not tell us what it represents for the writer and intended readers.

Camphor is kaafur, in every case I know of in the Bahai Writings.

Kaafur is the "sweet-scented" in "From the sweet-scented streams of thine eternity, give me to drink ..."

and Kaafur is also "fragrance" in "unto the essence of the fragrance of Thy beauty ... cause me to return."

And in the four valleys, it appears as "how delicate this draught from the heavenly cup."

When Shoghi Effendi writes, "they quaff the wine that is life indeed" (WOB 194), Houshmand Fatheazam translates that wine into Persian with mozaajhaa kaafur. That's the clearest indication I have of the connotations of the image, beyond that it is a heavenly cup. mozaajhaa kaafur is the phrase in Quran 76:5

There's a problem with Quranic Kafur; it seems to be the name of spring in paradise, and as a name it needs no explanation. Camphor on the other hand is a tree and the extract from it, whose name is derived from Malay, and it is a question whether that name could have reached Arabia by the time of the Prophet. Also, one should certainly not drink the substance, see

The safe choice is to keep the Arabic name Kaafur, and be agnostic about whether it relates to a botanical or geographic or adjectival word kaafur at the time of Muhammad.

Sahih International

Indeed, the righteous will drink from a cup [of wine] whose mixture is of Kafur,

Muhsin Khan

Verily, the Abrar (pious, who fear Allah and avoid evil), shall drink a cup (of wine) mixed with water from a spring in Paradise called Kafur.

Pickthall

Lo! the righteous shall drink of a cup whereof the mixture is of Kafur,

Yusuf Ali

As to the Righteous, they shall drink of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Kafur,

Your comments and corrections are most welcome.

This is a looooongshot. I don’t even remember the story enough to describe (plus I read it in Russian, so I don’t know if it’s even a story people would know. Something about 3 different lions, they’re made of stone or got turned into stone. Something about one of them crying a fountain of tears and I think there was something about drinking the tears, but might just be me warping things.

If anyone has a clue, I would be SO grateful!!

Some of my family will be staying at Nomad, so I'm tempted to stay there for some of the nights. The reservation site won't let me book nine consecutive at Nomad, so I'm considering splitting it up. But as of now, I'm booked for all nine nights at Bellagio. It it were you, and family weren't an issue, would it be worth splitting Bellagio/Nomad or am I better off sticking with Bellagio?

EDIT: Traveling in November 2021
