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..."

Ursula was a Nun who later became a saint.
Hectors attack "Etherion" is based on the Greek concept of Aether, the Heavenly void of the sky. EDIT: Aghart is based on Agharta, another name for Shangrila, the mystical city that exists within the center of the Earth. This post has been edited by Ebe: Nov 9 2006, 05:35 AM |
