Elven Names (Book)

booktype = Book (Brown) title = Untitled pagename = Elven Names (Book) location = Ab'Dendriel Library blurb = A fact-file of how Elves get their names author = returnpage = Ab'Dendriel Libraries text = Elven names are chosen in adulthood. Until they acquire a name, elves are called 'son/daughter of ___' usually naming the parent with the same gender. Upon reaching adulthood, the young elf gets his first name, divined by the elders who know him in dreams. It is merely a single name, a description of the elf in the elven tongue. Usually elves love to add a translation of their name which is often mistaken for a second name by other races. Since the elven language is far more complicated and has thousands of nuances, often elves with the same 'second name' have a different first name, confusing the other races even more. implemented =
