NAME GLOSSARY

Many of these names are inspired by two poems. The first being The Peach Blossom of Dalin Temple by Bai Juyi and the second being River Snow by Liu Zongyuan.

I'm human, and some of these may be incorrect. I've done my best with whatever tools within my disposal. 

I try to keep the titles translated as well, to the best of my ability, since it's being written in English. Not ideal, but a preference. 

There will be names that appear in act two but not on this list. They'll be added once act three starts, as they are lore specific.
