Here's what I think about the writing on the inside of Mhenlos shirt...As Edge said, chakra means wheel, which is in the shape of a circle (for all the toddlers out there), so perhaps Alesia said that as a reminder to Mhenlo to heal everyone equally or to heal the team in a certain, circular order...or something to that effect...
Also, if you look closely, Mhenlo has a tattoo of George Carlin on his left ass cheek....yeah....

I know someone mentioned this earlier but I found a collector named Agrippa Stonehands, if that is significant to anyone.

One of the Assassin Trainers is named Jinzo.

I'll let you think for yourself.

One of the peasants during the Day of the Tengu said that the holiday reminded him of a holiday in his hometown. One that included 'Wacking snakes with wooden sticks'. Simpsons anyone?

sorry if this has already been mentioned, but the ascalon guards mention different funy phrases if you click them. some include 'Don't let my brother catch you looking at me like that' and 'I'd talk to you, but then i'd have to talk to you.'

My little contribution, though not an easter egg:

I believe, based on what I've seen, that the devs have inserted the names of the Seven Samurai (from Kurosawa's move of the same name) in Factions. So far I've spotted three.

Where the first three, and the rest, are located, I shall leave it as an exercise to the reader. :P

+ Collector Varis (presearing, Fort Ranik) collects spider legs. In the books, one of the craftiest characters is aka The Spider.

+ Ben Wolfson (presearing, ranger you rescue north of the wall) is a reference to Ben(jen) Stark. In the novels, he's lost north of their own wall, and his house symbol is a wolf.

+ A blood mage henchman is named Valyr Morghulez (not sure where to get)--exactly to the letter, this is an oft-repeated line by one of the characters when she kills.

+ A centaur dude is named Drogo Greatmane, a sorta tribe leader character in the books whose hair was never cut (a sign of defeat). These people are also known for their use of horses (centaurs being half horse, of course).

Great game, great books!

OMG ive read Song of Ice and Fire at least 50 times(the series) and i never picked up on this. I swear there is areference to arya somewhere in this game.
