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..."

I don't understand how it associates it to fire but oh well. You probably figured out what ragnarok or Armageddon is mut I'll just lay it out.
Armageddon is something like a final judgement of sorts. Ragnarok is the norse interpretation of the Apocalypse. PBasically put, god and hell make a war against each other and in turn get fried. Undines are sort of like water spirits that can only get a soul when they marry a human. Kinda lame actually. The only thing about Isher that I found was that it was a female weapon seller in a futuristic novel about how weapons were "freedom". Aghart gave me nothing. Lindwurm acually gave me alot. Its a dragon similar to a wyvern and in legends its either a bringer of goodluck or its this ferocious but intelligent beast. Archangel is a higher rank of angel. Thats about all I got. Death is death. There isn' much to describe the great reaper. Zantetsu means cutting metal. A shorten version of Zantetsuken which is basically sword that cuts metal. Self explanatory. Kikuichimonji is a sword created by a swordmaker under the name of Kikuichimonji Norimune. Its actually a real thing and its said that the quality of the blade surpasses even the Nagesone Kotetsu. Okay...I know too much about weapons... Flamberge is a sword created with serated edges. Its made to hack and cause pain but its pretty useless other than that. Zephyr means wind. An estoc is a thin blade made for stabbing. It usually has a wrist guard that is similar to a lance guard. Rosier is a fallen angel. Longinus is the spear that pierced Christ during the cruxifiction but its used all too commonly. Gai bolg is a partizan-like spear made to stab and cause pain even when pulled out. Divine wind is self explanatory. Southern cross hales from the constellation that is in the shape of a cross. The constellation is used in a number of flags and shields. Seth is a biblical figure that was the son of Adam. How this has anything related to Seth in the game I have no clue. ~~~ And I thought Saturos and Menardi had issues...- Sheba
