Interesting! And Perdita's dialogue suggests that Solak's name came from "solar".

Nice coincidence tbh, I came up with Solak's name by sitting in traffic and seeing the Chevrolet Kalos, thought Kalos was a cool name but too close to Telos so I just reversed it... Birthing Solak.
Thats really all you put into naming it? Come on...
Yup. For Solak.
For the Elven brothers and sisters I pulled slight imaginations/variations from Tolkiens Sindarin elven language based off their relationships with each other and powers they possessed as children. All four of them being able to twist and control nature leads to a lot of the naming;
Erethdor - Seed (eredh) + Brother (tôr) (First born brother)
Meretheil - Rose (meril) + Sister (thêl) (explained in quest about her birth and a prophecy)
Saeldor - Wise (sael) Brother (tôr) (Wisdom)
Faerdhinen - Silent Spirit (faer+dínen) (ability to control animals through spirit magic)
I REALLY want to explain all this on a quest I've designed but don't have the spare time to bring it to light.
The Elven names weren't lost on me, which is why I was extra surprised there wasn't much to Solak.
I would love to see your quest!
I had been trying to name Solak for weeks, surprisingly its very hard to name things once you've been doing it for a couple of years.
