Valeriya de Clairmont

Valeryia — the russian feminine form of Valerius, derived from latin valere meaning "to be strong". de - prefix used in romance languages to indicate noble or geographic origin, often meaning "of" or "from". Clairmont — french origin and means "clear or light-colored hill or mountain". derived from the old french words clair and cler, which mean "bright" or "clear", and mont, which means "hill".

Auretta Stormseeker

Auretta — of italian origin, meaning "gentle breeze"; alternatively, latin for "golden". Stormseeker — common translation of her father's elvish surname (i refuse to make that one <3)

Ghileth'elra of Clan Venalas

Ghileth'elra — elven origin, meaning "to safely guide our story" or alternatively "shepherd of our dreams". Venalas — elven origin, meaning "to find understanding".

Medora Runescribe

Medora — of french and greek origin, meaning "mother's gift". Runescribe — no translation necessary, more elvish to common fuckery lmao
