Thanks! I'm really looking forward to when Daevinity is pealed.

Is it still going to be called a peal? What's the collective noun for Adarins? While I'm thinking about it, is there a collective noun for Zevis or Idanias?

It will still be "Bells" and "peal" when it's Incandescence.

It's applicable and punny, so we will keep using it.

Adarins will be really bad at finding a collective noun for themselves, and will default to 'Adarins' until they can come up with something more interesting. Zevs will put forth calling the template pair A-Z's, but this will not work for Adarins - Cypress and other Adarins that are head over heels in love with Bells will want to have something that matches them and A-Z does not.

Idanias are unlikely to show up in large numbers, but will take the name 'alchemists' if a large enough number of them show up for them to want to have a template name besides 'Idania.'

I always thought it was cute that Adarins and Bells are As and Bs while Adarins and Zevis are As and Zs.

Funnily enough, the first three Bells in this peal don't even go by a nickname that starts with B, but yes, that is cute :)

Adarins and Bells, my one true ship. It caught me off guard but then when it got going I was so supportive.

Ice speaks English but the others speak something else, it would be funny if the last letter of their alphabets wasn't even Z, but Ö or Ш or Ω or Ž or Ᏼ or ჰ (pronounced like h), and then when the english speaking Z proposes it the rest look confused

Heh, yeah. I'm not enough of a linguist to pull that off, though - it certainly won't make sense for Edarial and Zevros, or Darren and Savannah. Just Adarin and Zeviana or Adana and Zane xD
