Back to the Future[edit]

One of the five cogs needed to open the Star Galley Crib door in Level 1 is named the "Cog of Flux Capacitation". This is a pretty obvious reference to the Flux Capacitor found in the Back to the Future movies. Echo (talk) 19:08, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Mock Turtle[edit]

Since it was mentioned on the NPC page, the Mock Turtle is a "suspected easter egg". The Mock Turtle is a character from Alice in Wonderland, whose appearance is based on the popular "mock turtle soup" of Lewis Carroll's day, which is also referenced in-game Echo (talk) 01:34, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Herne the Hunter[edit]

The Herne may be a reference to the folkloric Herne the Hunter, especially given that both are involved with a great hunt of some sort, as well as both being in possession of antlers. — J. J. Fullerton talk﴿ 23:48, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

This certainly seems to be a clear reference. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 22:47, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Triton[edit]

The "triton" enchantment, which increases the SWIMMING skill seems to be a reference to the Greek god, Triton. -Dcsg (talk) 21:19, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

I think this one is pretty obvious and should be added The Rim of the Sky (talk) 22:47, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Italian Dolomites[edit]

Perhaps this isn't an Easter egg per se, but the picture of Skyrim in the race selection screen is actually a picture of the Dolomites mountain range. Jack3103 (talk) 18:40, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Definitely worth noting, I would say. —⁠Legoless (talk) 19:27, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Star Road[edit]

There's an enchantment in the game called "Star Road" which apparently lets you teleport (that's what the wiki says—I can't try it in game because I've disabled axes). I believe this is a reference to Star Roads in Super Mario World [1] which teleport the player to the Star World. Jack3103 (talk) 17:08, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Leonardo da Vinci's Tank[edit]
