Naming notes
The phonetic character is Near-Eastern flavored, long ee and ei vowels and -on, -ath, and -in endings that read formal and southern. The recurring connector vowels give an even, rolling rhythm. Use these for characters from that southern empire or original desert-realm folk in a fan story set in that style.
