--- Quote ---varth : perhaps a play on Darth Vader?
--- End quote ---
I actually had a similar thought, but I'm not sure how to interpret that. What do Darth and Vader mean, and what happens when you swap the first letter?
--- Quote from: Tami Seven on June 29, 2015, 05:49:19 AM ---I also found something here
--- End quote ---
I'm not able to translate varth with any of the online Old Norse dictionaries I can find, so I'm not really sure what that base means. I tried translating contextually similar phrases to modern Icelandic with Google Translate, but that failed as well. Closest-ish I found was svartr ("black").
Anyone have a better Old Norse dictionary/translator?
Sidenote: draugr means tree-trunk?
Tami Seven:
It's an Old English word, but I still don't have a definition. If I find it I will let you know.

Ok, I really like the work you put into this, and will be shunting it to the DFRC. Do you want it there soonest or would you like it to mature in the more active regular spoilers section for a while first? I certainly want to shunt it over before it locks so that it can continue to get input in perpetuity.
Edit:
You already have a lot of bullets under the "fallen" characters, but might I suggest adding one for the names of the known hosts and or current dispositions of the coins?

Moving whenever you prefer is cool with me.
I'll add hosts for the fallen and bearers(?) of grace for the big four archangels.

Re Tarsiel - Is Jim a fan of Dragonlance at all? Just wondered if it might be a nod to the city of Tarsis.
