Name magic & new legends - exclusively for you!

I've started to list all the names and drawings in the Snow feather-universe - so that they are tonally, culturally and emotionally really fit the world we are creating together.

Important to know: All names - especially on the continent Aethrandor (formerly Veloria) - are based on a deliberate mix of languages:

Influences from Old Norwegian, Scandinavian dialects, Old English and the languages of the Native Americansin particular the Paiute Nationinterweave to create a unique, vibrant sound system. For it is these early cultures - the first human travelers between the worlds - who have left their mark on Ætheris. Their ancient tongues have shaped the language of Aethrandor. And with it: the names.

And now it's your turn: As loyal companions on my journey, you will get the very first insight into this new naming landscape. I'd love to hear any tips, ideas or thoughts you have as you read through - feel free to write them in the comments or send me a message. I'll see what I can perhaps incorporate 🙂

I can't wait to see what our shared swarm knowledge makes of these names. Let the naming magic begin. - Max
