Quick Etymological Notes on Ancient Dwarven Names
After checking my campaign notes, I just wanted to clarify a few things about those names Derich was throwing around:
Xen’Teler = “Far Seer” (i.e., he sits in the Silver Throne and watches over the world); Derich claims this is the name the rebels gave to the deity who replaced XenoTel and, prior to that, was just a informal title/name used by the ancient dwarves to refer to their original deity (contraction on the first syllable and addition of “er” on the second for unknown reasons).
Xen’Khel = “Far Fortress,” which received its name because it was farthest north of the dwarven khels; Derich’s claim that it is also the first khel is not familiar to any member of the party.
XenoTel = “Foreign/Alien ?”. Xeno and Xen are related words — which makes sense because someone who comes from “afar” is likely to be “foreign/alien”; Tel is not allowable without a suffix of some kind so is either a mistake, contraction, or new word.
