RAYIHN:RAINY; HEN. Raiyhn's name is derived from the great Hen that used
to be worshipped when citizens wanted rain.
NELTOUDA: SMELLY; TULIP. Neltouda's is derived from the phrase "Smelly
Tulips," which is commonly heard during the Month of the Bull, as bulls tend
to defecate on tulips.
BAERINIKA: BEAR; NAKED; EEK; A. Baerinika's name is derived from the
natural fear displayed by the humans from bears while they are naked. They
would often see a bear and shout, "Eek!A naked bear!"
MERGULLA: MERGE; SEAGULL. Mergulla's name has origins in sailor talk of the
early ancient times, during the "Merging of the Seagulls." In this time
period, seagulls would become furious and merge together to take different
shapes in the skies. Often times they seemed to form angry faces. It is
said today that Mergulla has traces of seagull blood in her.
IUNNA: I; OWE; YOU; ONE. Iunna's name is derived from pubtalk. In bars,
one often hears the phrase "I owe ya one." The phrase stuck with patrons,
and thus the name was born.
REKSAH:RECTUM; SAUSAGE. Some things are better left unsaid.
ENLILTH: IN; LILLIES. Enlilth's name has origins first heard in swamps
populated by numerous enormous frogs. There, in the gaseous poots of frogs,
a smog of poot formed letters than an onlooker saw. Some say Enlilth was
birthed from this very smog.
