User blog comment:Astar Goldenwing/The Coming of Badger Lady/@comment-2142396-20160103150849

I decided that maybe it will be interesting to share some fun development facts in the comments, and here they are: the names of all characters except for cannon ones are meaningful. 'Rarog' means 'falcon' in Old Slavic, 'Diener' means 'Servant' in German, 'Ruha' is derived from Russian 'staruha', meaning 'old woman, hag', 'Sumra' is derived from Russian 'sumrak', meaning 'twilight', 'Huron' means 'ferret' in Spanish and 'Barlar' is a combinaion of English 'barbarian' and Russian 'varvar'. And 'Mordbrenn' is derived from German 'Mordbrenner', meaning 'murderer and arsonist'. For some reason, I decided to give all my Juska Slavic names, aside from those who came from the North.

And pay attention to that prophecy, because... I wrote a prophecy! *celebrates* My first prophecy, and it was a challenge to keep it rhymed, vague and allowing for several interpretations. I think the second stanza was the most difficult, because I couldn't find good symbols for the badger ruler's companions. I tried several things before, and I don't know why I decided to go with the four sides of the world, but I'm glad I did, because it fits perfectly.
