Character Name
Sylenriel
Sylenriel The "-riel" suffix places Sylenriel in the tradition of Tolkien's great elvish women — Galadriel, Celebrían, Arwen Undómiel — but her forest "Sylen-" prefix gives her a more specific, less cosmic nature than those names. A queen of the deep forest elves rather than of all elvenkind, whose power is rooted in a specific grove rather than in abstract light, and who defends it with the fierce particularity of someone protecting their home rather than the world.

The name suggests "great crowned one of the deep sea" or a dark queen of ocean depths.”
Vaeliriel

Sylion
Elvish-inspired · “An invented elvish-style name combining "Syl-" (Latin "silva," forest; Tolkien-influenced woodland elvish prefix) with "-ion," the Tolkien Sindarin masculine suffix meaning "son of" or simply a masculine noble title.

Lyrorthas

“An invented elvish-style name built from "Ery-" — echoing Tolkien's Quenya "eru" (the supreme one, the deity) — and "-ien," the Sindarin feminine diminutive.
