So what does it all really mean?

Ryzom: The general meaning ,  The deeper meaning

Atys: A demigod who was turned into a giant pine tree.

Karavan: Persian Pilgrims

Kami and Ma-duk: It is a big ole pdf, check out words 172 and 189 on the word list if you decide to look at the whole thing.

Jena: Simple word play on Genesis.

Goo: Runaway nanobots

Kitin: Armored bugs

Matis: Look familiar?

Zoari: Ancient religion

Fyros: I think it is just cause they like to burn things but the name could be tied to Former Yugoslavian Republic of Slovenia (FYROS) and they just liked the sound of it.

Tryker: Really couldn’t find anything, maybe something to do with Elias Tryton?

Enjoy the links.

    Wano language seems like something of a stretch. :) Kami is the word for Shinto spirits.

    If it were just one word I would tend to agree, but the fact that the Wano use both the word kami and ma-duk, I think it certainly raises the possibility. If one is willing to accept the Amazon Matis were used as source material, it is also within the realm of possibility that during the creative process more then one real world tribe was used for inspiration.

    The Kami in Ryzom are a collective, they claim to share one mind, the term “we” is very fitting. I do suspect that originally the author had decided on using the term based on the Japanese term, and while looking for source info, found this word list and thus ma-duk was born and the kami became “we”.

    Tryker is obvious one for me. Biker on 3 wheels.

    Tryker strikes me as a word play on “trick”, a bold careless people, fond of simple fun and tricks.

    “Tryk” in Danish means pressure, perhaps a reference to slavery too.
