NPC/Lore names
I am asking about the NPCs name meanings and the characters in the lore names meaning. I know this game is futuristic, so many of the names don't actually exist. But I know that its roots and phonetic sounds may come from similar words known, so if someone wants to help out my curiosity, this would be helpful.
Also, this is good for people who want to role play with exotic names, as an exotic engram (long stretch for that joke).

Ishtar is the goddess of fertility in Hinduism (I think) Cerberus vae iii comes from Cerberus the Greek mythological dog with 2 or 3 heads (My Greek mythology is quite rusty) Eris = A moon Trials is obviously Egyptian themed Phalanx are named after something (Can't quite remember, I saw something about phalanx and I thought," Hey, that's from destiny") [quote]A phalanx is an Ancient Greek military formation consisting of heavy infantry. -Rhitrix[/quote] Praetorians were some sort of Roman guards. [quote]Praetorians led troop formations if I remember correctly. - SavageWolf[/quote] Dreg = Low, scum, bottom of the barrel Wyrms = Legless dragons [quote]Vandals: the army and tribe that sacked Rome Legionaries: Roman infantry Centurion: Roman military officers that commanded up to 200 men Templars: related to the knight Templar of Europe, allegedly tasked with protecting the Holy Grail -Sullys201623[/quote] Gorgons are quite obviously based off of Greek mythological Gorgons which turned their prey to stone. If anyone could tell me any others, I will add them to this list.
