Vor'Mar Naming

Naming in the Vor’Mar dominion is as diverse as the tribes that it hailed from, but there are still some rules. Over time the identity of the tribes vanished, but certain families would still use the names of their ancestors, or those similar. Thus you will find common names among one family, while the other is completely different. The only exception is the Royal Bloodline, and even some of those of High Military rank and slightly lesser blood. Names are split into two meanings, such as Vor’Mar itself. Vor meaning strength and Mar meaning purity, literally meaning purity through strength, Vor’Mar was given this name to reflect the most respected traits of the Dra’is’ir. This still influences the nation today, being the central point of their beliefs. Many of the other tribes had these names with dual, though it was only common among the leadership itself. Finally, there is one exception with that being names split into three parts, such as the Dra’is’ir. These are incredibly rare and often have complex meanings, more so than can be explained with a direct translation.

Common folk and those of lesser bloodline often have more simple names, such as Essenia. The first female Empress, she had been relatively low in the bloodlines. Rising in the blood through battle and pure cleverness and smarts, she defeated her enemies at every turn. She was considered one of the greatest rulers the Vor’Mar had ever had, but also known for her trickery and beauty. Many lost their lives for trying to catch a glimpse at her, to drink in her beauty, and it is said she enjoyed this most of all. She was known as the twin-faced serpent for her ever changing nature between pleasant and vicious.
