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.

“An invented elvish-style name combining "Yely-" (a doubled/intensified form of the warm solar root "Yel-") with "-r-" connective and "-vane" (motion, banner).

Orenion
“An invented elvish name combining "Oren-" (Hebrew "oren," pine/ash tree, or a variant of Latin "aurum," gold) with "-ion," the Tolkien Sindarin masculine/noble suffix.
