Guess the lore behind AN's name

Postby Rhododendronius » Sun Jan 12, 2025 3:23 am

As the title says, you have to guess the lore behind AN's name. It can range from something as simple as a random name they came up with or something super complicated. Unleash you inner storyteller!

There's a flower native to Asia called the Rhododendron - it is the national flower of Nepal, and given that they have a plant on their flag, this might be it.

The name has two roots - the royal family that reigned over the nation during its founding (Schwessen) and the palace of which the family was granted by the Holy Roman Emperor (Hellfohen). Additionally, the Hellfohen castle was named so thanks to an abundance of flowers, named Hellfohen thanks to their fiendishly red colour.

Edit: A pan-empire of the Selenia nations, hence the trans.

i skimmed through an’s factbooks and could not find any clarifying information. suffice it to say that the name kasdados looks to be the name of a greek family dynasty given the nation’s territory showcases all of modern greece and coastal turkey

definitely a dynasty that romanticises ruralism as well
