As no one has put a question this week I will take over! (First this community then the world!)

How do you pronounce it?

I often face unusual names in LNs so sometimes I make up strange pronunciations. Are there any you would like to share or get the communities opinion on?

I guess the names are linked to their title as well?

Yes, absolutely. The God's names are pretty straight forward. But the same goes for many of the regular characters. For someone understanding German their name is basically a spoiler for their condensed-down-to-1-word personality. Imagine getting introduced to a character and the he's simply named "Cruel" and he later turns out to be an evil antagonist. I could have told Rozemyne that, but that cheeky brat never listens!!

I'll do a post next week with translations. I should have plenty of time then.
