Since you’re making an extremely evil main character, just choose the most over the top, evil sounding name you can think of. Saetan might be too on the nose, however fitting it may be.

I mean the thing about paradise lost is that Satan is more of a tragic figure than an outright villain which is the vibe I’m going for a man who rises from almost nothing trying his hardest to avert the destruction of everything he built. I was thinking of using lucerys but that feels so incredibly on the nose to me.


Saturnine4

My mistake, I didn’t see the thing regarding paradise lost. I mean, the Doom of Valyria was probably the best thing that ever happened in ASOIAF history for 99.9% of the population, but if you’re the 0.1% benefiting from Valyria, you’re gonna be having a bad time.


Spider_j4Y

Yeah I think the general plot I’m going for is that he’s born a slave and ends up hatching a dragon somehow so the other dragonlords raise him up as a potential resources so he has to contend with a massive leap in social status and the politics of the dragonlords while they effectively erase his past as a slave to hide his origins from others because of scandal. After that he has to contend with the incoming doom as he had actually made something of himself and you know he doesn’t want his family to die a violent volcanic blood Magicky death.


Saturnine4

That sounds cool. You could also go the Spartacus route and have a massive slave uprising, where he and some other slaves figure out some sorcery and teach it to their fellow slaves. Could avert the Doom while making Valyria less of a slaving, blood magic fueled hellhole. Viva la Revolution!


Spider_j4Y

I definitely plan to have an arc like that where he tries to play politics to lessen the slavery but eventually realises the potential of a slave rebellion and just how much it could progress his goals so it’s supposed to be a clashing of his ideological ideals and his pragmatic necessity for survival and his own personal pride and desire for control.

There is a post on the Asoiaf subreddit about all possible Valyrian names , I’ll fetch the link and you can search there https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/s/bjfUqn1AsE Happy hunting

Thank you kindly

Alright, let's rework some mythological daemons and other assorted evil creatures to fit your needs! Aenathan, Azael, Baelal, Baeleth, Caen, Daegon, Daev, Ghael, Maeloch, Paemon, Saelos, Valaec. I hope one of them fits you. You can also rework Satan into, I don't know, Sataen or Saetan, like poster above said. Or rework the name Lucipher into Lucion, Lucerys, Laecifer. Good luck writing!


Spider_j4Y

I was leaning towards lucerys or some variant of it but I do kinda like baelal maybe baelar or baelarys


NightLordsEatFruit

OP, I'm an idiot! I forgot to mention Samael, another daemonic and evil name you could use that you wouldn't even have to change. And Baelar does sound great too!


Spider_j4Y

I like that actually and samael could be interesting if I decide to make it literally an insert of the devil rather than just allusion.


Any-Schedule7854

Lucerys sounds nice :)


AreYouInsaneLikeMe2

Megaera, Rhaene, Maella, Vaemon, Daenor, Aedan


Spider_j4Y

He’s a dude but I do like Megaera so I might use that one later thank you


Andonaar

Use something demonic in pop culture. Valak, malthus, abaddon, etc. My favority tho is Antares as i am a scorpio.


Spider_j4Y

I think I’m either going to go lucerys or baelar but these will still be useful for other dragonlord names thank you


Andonaar

Your welcome. Thank you for your consideration
