Pronunciations

By Lightningclaw, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

I though most of these were obvious, but thinking about it, i’ve probably been saying them wrong for years...

Serena- Suh-REE-nuh or suh-REN-uh? (Derived from “serene” or “serenity”?)

Syndrael- SIN-drale or syndra-EEL?

Avric- sounds like “Have Rick” or a long a, AVE-rick?

Durik- DO-Rik, DYUR-rik, or DER-rik?

Augur- AH-ger or OW-ger?

Ravaella- Ra-va-EEL-uh or Ra-VALE-uh?

In french, pronunciations for many heroes are simple

Except for some as "Jaes", is it "ja-es" or "jayce", Sahla, because in french, it means "that (thing) here" ( ça là for the ones who knoww), and Trenloe, with swaping some letters would be "trop lent" meaning "too slow", a funny "play on word (yes?).

I just pronoucne them as if they were Italian or Latin.
I'll try to write it like you are, but it's easier with IPA:

SayRAYnah [se'rena]

SyndrahAYL [sin'drael]

AHvreek ['avrik]

DOOreek ['durik]

AHWgoor ['awgur]

RahvahAYLlah [rava'el:a]

I typically pronounce them:

Serena - suh-REE-nuh

Syndrael - sin-DRAY-ell

Avric - AV-rick

Durik - DER-rick

Augur - AW-gur

Ravaella - rah-vah-AYE-lah

Plus a few others that might get confused...

Glyr - GLY-er

Challara - shuh-LAR-uh

Jaes - JAY-ess

Varikas - VARE-ee-kuss
