Why "ThoughtAndMemory"?Raven on post with spear

According to Norse legend, Odin had two ravens who flew around the universe every day. Every evening, they would return and share with Odin the secrets they had discovered during their travels. People who discover information to share with others is a good analogy for Trainers.

The names of the ravens were Huginn and Muninn, which translate as "Thought" and "Memory".
