Fascinating -- obviously loose translations from the
Serioli.  Clearly, after the Serioli faction
responsible for Godslayer and Pathfinder failed to
supplant the Lords of Judgment, they badly needed
cheering up.  So they created
Generator-of-Amusing-Noises-Such-As-N!yuk-
N!yuk-N!yuk, Device-for-Depositing-Mirth-in-the-Form-
of-Unavoidable-Cream-Pies, and Implement-for-the-
Poking-of-Eyes-in-a-Humorous-Although-Permanently-
Fatal-Manner.  

Also, I think there should definitely be a Great
Weapon whose name translates to "Grumpy."
