HelpDaedra, Daedric, Daedroth - trying to come up with a name as cool as these...
Hello everyone.
I have some creatures in a fantasy story I'm writing which are very Eldritch. They come from a dimension higher than our own, and are able to manipulate our dimension in mind-bending ways. I've been playing Skyrim, and I've fallen in love with the name "Daedric Princes", but I'm pretty sure it's copyrighted to Bethesda... and I don't just want to rip their lore off, either.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I was originally rolling with "Dreadlords", but it's a clumsy term. I've also tried some spin on Ana or Kata (fourth-dimensional directions), but they aren't quite suiting either.
The culture which is predominantly affected by these creatures takes its names from Old English and Anglo-Saxon culture, but I'm open to names and words from all cultures.
Thank you all in advance :)
