Alvinjer has been overhauled map-wise, and renamed to Alvhenyr. This change comes from a certain displeasure I had:
Alvinjer's initial naming convention came from the style of elves I had based them off of in the start; Light Elves, or Ljósálfar, from Norse mythology. In doing so, I soft-locked their type of language into something similar to icelandic or norse, but realized that, when compared to their origin, and kin-species, it's a bit unusual. As an example; The Kevesh'ar and the Elves are loosely related through their ancestor-race, the Sahillans. Kevesh'ar speech is guttural, deep and reminiscent of Proto-Indo-European. Elvish, on the other hand, would have been flowing on the tongue, and very fluid. While this hasn't changed, the phonology that I established for the Kevesh'ar language is something I've loosely set in stone when it comes to designing words or names.
