9175 Sindarin Names Added to the Database!
This is not by any stretch of the imagination any sort of completeness, but it’s progress! Finally, when you use the Random Name Generator, it will spit out names that start with letters other than A, B, or C, and the other sections look a little less empty. I still

Omentielva Otsëa
It may have been “Our Seventh Meeting” for some, but for me, it was the first. So many thoughts and feelings are whirling about in my brain, It’s difficult to put them to words, but I will try, none-the-less. When I started out at 15, I thought I was alone
