These names are inorder of appearance. I really hope most of you understand that capitalized letters mean they are pronounced as they are in the alphabet like 'L' is pronounced 'el'. I am not trying to patronize anyone, I just hope people understand this so I am not babbling on while they are dumbstruck...hokay?
Shaaré (sh-are-A)
Lynaia (Lin-A-uh)
Kiara (k-ear-uh)
Salix (say-licks...I really don't know how I came up with this name, but it was crude and that is what I needed)
Råj (rr-aaa-sh...his name is a desert kinda name so think Arab when you say his name.)
Luze (loo-ze)
Shey (sh-A)
Kirik (k-ear-ic)
Ërith (air-ith...it is kinda hard to explain what her name sounds like. The first syllable 'Air' is suppose to sound kinda like a mix between the words 'air' and 'ear' but I don't really know how to explain it...so I will just stick with this.)
Roarek (roar-ec)
Kem’irre (kem-ear-eh...I would hope I do not have to pronounce the plural version of Kem'irre for everyone.)
Nae’dic (nA-dic)
Ellian (L-E-an)
Anae'as (an-A-as)
Äraq’is (air-ac-is...Think Iraqis, when you say it with the 'air-ac' rather than 'eye-rac')
Aiva (A-vuh)
Florian (floor-E-an)
Radek (rA-dec)
Kaden (kA-den)
Darius (dar-E-us)

Morel’oca (more-l-O-cah)
Arie’oca (air-E-O-cah)
Emberith (em-bur-ith)
Aislyn (A-s-lyn)
Kaden (kay-den)
Hadrian (hay-drE-an...Think of the Roman ruler)
Cael (c-ale)
Adre'il (A-drE-ill...The 'r' sound rolls like you would with Spanish)

Nefaria (nef-air-E-uh)
Belsair (bells-air)

Ki'ona (key-own-a)
Deia (dE-uh)
Zaith (z-A-th...think 'wraith' with a 'z')
Jencen (jen-sen)
Daric (d-are-ic)
Yhamira (Ya-mir-a...when you pronounce the 'ya' at the beginning, think German, like when you see a silly cartoon and a German character says 'ya', not quite 'yeah' but simply no 'ya'...hard to explain. And the 'mir' part, think mirror.)
A/N: I know some of these names are obvious but when I talked with some friends about it, they were stumbling over them as if they were a foreign language…in addition to Clodhopper’s comment as well, I honestly did not think pronunciation would be a problem, but it has become apparent that I should elaborate on the issue for my readers. I will make a key for pronunciation later on, for now, this will have to do.
Even with the proper symbols, I will add any confusing words as they appear in the story. If you are looking for pronunciation for any Gods or Races, or any other subject I mention in the story that I have already posted in the Encyclopedia, be sure to check there, because most have pronunciations next to all the names…and I hate repeating myself.
