Anyway, I really doubt that Nic and the Dinarians are working for the Outsiders.

I reckon they are trying to protect our privacy.
Also, again with the Dinarians :D. I feel like the leader of a sect or something.

Ok, think I added everything so far. Seems like our mutual friend got popular, so created a new section for him as well. I had to interpolate names so yell if you don't like them.

Official title accepted.
--- Quote ---Also, siluriformes is the order of the catfishes (order as a taxon). But I don't think Saluriel is a reference to that.

Shardik, only with a catfish. It might still work. A large catfish.
--- Quote ---Akar from Malay3 gets you "plant root". Akariel is described as dark, big, and furry, but that's it. There's a possibility that its actually a plant-like form, and the "fur" is actually a lot of root hairs all across the body. Seems like a stretch, but I haven't seen anything else.

Doesn't really seem any less likely than an inanimate gate that's none of those things. Named as darkroot for obvious reasons.
--- Quote ---Nam from Vietnamese4 means "man". Thorned Namshiel is said to look like a human skeleton with bone spurs at its joints. It could be a proto-man form.

Went with "Prototype of God" but all I could think was "Oohhhh... Skin Man."

I'll file this with our mutual friend's section for now.

No, it's my Kindle for PV search that is failing. But I agree, the search for the site is horrible.
Tami Seven:
Varthiel = Varth + iel
varth : perhaps a play on Darth Vader?

I also found something here
--- Quote ---In the North East of England there is another definition, "taken from Old Norse rather than Old English, and comes from 'varth-lokkr' meaning (essentially) 'one who locks (something) in' or 'one who encloses'." As a term of honour, it is used to describe "an exorcist or a magician who traps and disposes of unwanted entities"
