I'll get the ball rolling:
'Kruez' is French for Cross. The Fanelia sword has roots in Latin. "Fanal" is the Latin word meaning 'light house' or 'light stick'. 'ia' is the suffix for establishing it as a verb. "Fanel~ia" beam literally means 'light-giving' beam. Something along those lines..... ~~~ "Wheels within wheels..."

Erm Val, I thought "crois" or "croix" was French for cross?
Anyway... back on topic... to speak to Kohak - I remember on the older LC board Rai and I discussing that world religions and mythologies aside, there seems to be a central database of names that sound cool which game programmers always seem to use, e.g. some names of weapons in Riviera are also in FFTA, SS2 and "classic" RPGs like Baldur's Gate. ~~~  Yes, that is me on the right wearing red. Who wants a cookie? |
