Denn never met her mother so she never brings her up and her grandfather never spoke much about her so that is completely open. Those names can be really anything. The only name that is in there is Denn's father name. Ahtahrm..and its part of Denn's name...Ahtahrmwyn, Daughter of Eight Arms. Which would be extremely difficult to work around and we might not be able to pull off ; ; . As well as I have written quite a few stories with Denn's grandfather (coming to her in her dreams and childhood stuff) so he kind of already has a personality of being a strong, wise, and calm person (which might fit? Idk, you said he sealed away his dragon thing so the two personalities might fit?).Â
Her grandfather rarely ever left Denn's side as he was her prime care taker in the constant absence of her father who would go out and do mercenary work. I figured this can be the excuse used to have the father able to keep in contact with both of his daughters. Maybe even spending more time with Lydahn as she had the heart and Denn did not? The grandfather who sealed away his Dragonheart stayed with Denn to raise her and the father spent most of his time with Lydahn to teach her how to use it? Or perhaps Denn and Lydhan were both born with the Dragonheart but because Denn is such a hot head that their grandfather's training was focused around sealing it within Denn as she would be too destructive with it. I did write her as a woman who has a very high aether (but has no idea how to use it) content and as she nears death she kind of explodes. Just throwing out ideas here xD.Â
The axe thing can be worked out, I think. The reason I choose the name Eight Arms was just because he was suppose to be an extremely powerful man who was said to have the strength of four Roegadyn (hence the arms). This could possibly be even attributed to the Dragonheart. He could have simply used two giant axes in battle because he was strong enough to dual wield them, one Lydahn found and one Denn found. Or we can simply say the axe that Denn found was actually her grandfathers axe (as he has played a more important role in Denn's life) and it was on their father?
Now the only weird thing I find in Lydhan's story, unrelated to us trying to work out a connection, is that Lydahn was born after the Calamity...The Calamity happened 5 years ago >.>
But yeah, if things can't be worked out because we have already sort of begun the development of our characters than it is fine.Â
Edit: Whoops, just noticed you said Lydahn was an orphan so you can scrap all that stuff about how they could have both known the father xD. But thinking about the whole fathers name thing, what is Lydahn's fathers name? I had Denn's grandfather as being more a traditional and conservative person who preferred to use the Roegadyn tongue (and not dumb down their names into the common language), which is why Denn has a Sea Wolf-esque name and not a Hellsguard-esque name. If you choose a Hellsguard name for Lydahns father we might be able to work something about the grandfather refusing to call him by that name which is why Denn knows him as one name and Lydahn knows him by the other?
I'll send you a private message in response then we can discuss the finer details of their stories and see what we can do =]
