@Aantara
, I thought this thread needed a little love.
To everyone else out there, I've been involved in the Etla Isle community since the early 2000's (and boy do I mean early!) so don't hesitate to throw any questions you may have about the dream or the continuity out there.

@Render
, I would love to answer that for you:
Phonetically as I can get it without using a true phonetic spelling it's as below:
Fyedakin [Fjeh-duh-keen] - Note the Fj sound just like Fjord for those lovely little inlets on the Nordic coasts!
Xiloscient [Hi-low-she-ent] - Nothing super fancy here
As for meanings, Fyedakin holds special meaning in the creature's original native tongue. He hasn't told anyone just what that meaning is, though, so ask him ICly! Xiloscient is a common surname among elvish families meaning Golden Petal.

I definitely obliterated the last name but was pretty close on the first.
While we're at it..
I've always pronounced Eileadora as Eye-lee-door-ah

This is where the
IPA
comes in handy:

It's good to know.
Etla - I've always pronounces Eht-lah
Avalbane - Being elvish is Ayv-hal-bah-nyi, though sometimes even Fye ("Fjeh") goes which the more likely bastardized Ahv-all-bayn given the time since the kingdom's destruction.

Hi, so I think I'm blind or something, but I can't seem to find out where the dream is or a page telling me as such. So I must ask, where is Eileadora located?

Where the portal is? Or where we're located ICly?
The dream is in Imaginarium near the corner. You can also 'join Etla Isle, the bot will auto-summon.
As for IC location. It can be found southwest of Kasuria, but exists in another realm/dimension. The waters around it serve as a rift, allowing people to travel back and forth between realms and times.
