"All names of my kind have meaning. Each portion a word in its own right, and together they craft our name. A name is tied into a dovah's very being. To say it is to call us, no matter how quietly one's voice is. That is why we view mortal beings so strangely, to be able of changing their names with such ease. For new purpose, to try and abandon your history, for great deeds that have been done... That is not something our nature can allow. I was created Paarthurnax, and it suited me well when I was young. Much has changed since then, yet I am still Paarthurnax and always shall be."

A bit of a long explanation for a simple inquiry into the meaning of his name. Still, he finds it important to explain such things. Rosethorn is right in her own guesses, after all. For all their claws and fangs and scales stronger than most armor mortals could craft... It is words that are the most important to dov. He finally explains, voice slow and accepting. "Paar means ambition. Thur is overlord. Nax is cruelty."

As he said. It suited him much more when he was still young and so was the world.

The explanation of magic for her world is fascinating, sounding similar yet different to what both dov and mortals use. "Intriguing. I take it that not all can use magic in your world?"
