Character Name
Nyliar
Nyliar Nyliar has the compressed antiquity of a name worn smooth by centuries — the "-iar" suffix signals great age, and the moonsilver "Nyl-" root suggests a being of cool, distant, lunar grace. An elvish elder who has outlived three kingdoms, a silver-haired oracle whose dreams are longer than most lives, or a moon-priestess whose memory of the world's younger days makes every present crisis feel manageable.
