Well, for people who love making cool and acurate fan-fictions of video games, why don't we make a list of name references for the character/weapons/monsters in the game.

Weapons/Items
Einherjar- From Norse mythology the Einherjar are the heroes who have died with great bravery on the battle fields.
Lorelei- In German mythology, the Lorelei is a rock on the Rhine river where a siren sits to lure mariners to their deaths. In Germanic mythology, Lorelei is also the name of the siren, a maiden who drowned herself and was reborn as a water sprite; however, because of the name's meaning, it is most probable that the maiden got her name from the rock, rather than the other way around.
Skadi - Skadi is the name of the daughter of Thjazi a gaint who is murdered in Norse mythology.

Monsters
Harpuia- Harpuia was based on the Harpy in the design and name (the Greek pronunciation of Harpy is Harpuia).
Sylph- A slyph is a fairy of the wind named by the alchemist Paracelsus.
Undine- A water nymph from German mythology.
