'DARSYLON' 'DARSYLON PALACE' 'ELVEN NAMES' (208)
The name "Darsylon" refers to several things. First and foremost, it refers to the surname of an Elven noble house, which rules a Kingdom of the same name. The name of the kingdom is derived from the name of the stronghold where the House of Darsylon has resided since time long forgotten to even the ancient elves, known now as Darsylon Palace. Those elves who dwell in the forest valleys near to the Palace, and who have sworn nominal loyalty to the monarch who heads the House of Darsylon, are often referred to as "Darsylon Elves." Darsylon Elves range from the more rustic wild elves which live on the fringes of the Kingdom, to the high society of the noble houses which have pledged fealty to the monarch of Darsylon since ancient times. One note of importance on the names of Elves from Darsylon, is that their names almost universally end in a vowel for the females, and a consonant for the males. The sole exceptions to this are found at the very far edges of the Kingdom, and are often regarded with reactions ranging from amusement to outright scorn and ridicule by those Darsylon Elves who live closer to the Palace, particularly those of the noble houses, whose naming rules are said to be far more intricate than those of the general populace.
