I'll get the ball rolling:


'Kruez' is French for Cross.


The Fanelia sword has roots in Latin. "Fanal" is the Latin word meaning 'light house' or 'light stick'.


'ia' is the suffix for establishing it as a verb. "Fanel~ia" beam literally means 'light-giving' beam.


Something along those lines.....

I don't understand how it associates it to fire but oh well. You probably figured out what ragnarok or Armageddon is mut I'll just lay it out.

Armageddon is something like a final judgement of sorts.
Ragnarok is the norse interpretation of the Apocalypse. PBasically put, god and hell make a war against each other and in turn get fried.

Undines are sort of like water spirits that can only get a soul when they marry a human. Kinda lame actually.

The only thing about Isher that I found was that it was a female weapon seller in a futuristic novel about how weapons were "freedom".

Aghart gave me nothing.

Lindwurm acually gave me alot. Its a dragon similar to a wyvern and in legends its either a bringer of goodluck or its this ferocious but intelligent beast.

Archangel is a higher rank of angel. Thats about all I got.

Death is death. There isn' much to describe the great reaper.

Zantetsu means cutting metal. A shorten version of Zantetsuken which is basically sword that cuts metal. Self explanatory.

Kikuichimonji is a sword created by a swordmaker under the name of Kikuichimonji Norimune. Its actually a real thing and its said that the quality of the blade surpasses even the Nagesone Kotetsu. Okay...I know too much about weapons...

Flamberge is a sword created with serated edges. Its made to hack and cause pain but its pretty useless other than that.

Zephyr means wind.

An estoc is a thin blade made for stabbing. It usually has a wrist guard that is similar to a lance guard.

Rosier is a fallen angel.

Longinus is the spear that pierced Christ during the cruxifiction but its used all too commonly.

Gai bolg is a partizan-like spear made to stab and cause pain even when pulled out.

Divine wind is self explanatory.

Southern cross hales from the constellation that is in the shape of a cross. The constellation is used in a number of flags and shields.

Seth is a biblical figure that was the son of Adam. How this has anything related to Seth in the game I have no clue.

Armageddon is something like a final judgement of sorts. Ragnarok is the norse interpretation of the Apocalypse. PBasically put, god and hell make a war against each other and in turn get fried.

"Armageddon" comes from the Hebrew "har megiddon," or "the Hill of Megiddo," just outside the city of Megiddo, where the Final War for Earth will take place. In fact, it was the site of several battles, mostly due to its strategic location on a popular trade route.
By the way, the word "apocalypse" (apokalypso) actually has nothing to do with the war-- it's Greek for "uncovering," or "revelation" (hence the biblical title). What we call "the Apocalypse" refers to the vision "revealed" to John regarding the end times.

Archangel is a higher rank of angel.

More Greek; it literally means "first messenger."

Zantetsu means cutting metal.

Shin-Zantetsu?

"Shin" has a few different meanings, but the character used in your screenshot means "truth." So, it means "true metal-cutter."

Zephyr means wind.

Also refers to the Greek god of the west wind.

Rosier is a fallen angel.

"Rosier was a fallen angel, specifically a Dominion of the Second Sphere. He is the patron demon of tainted love and seduction."

Gai bolg is a partizan-like spear made to stab and cause pain even when pulled out.

I think someone mentioned this, but it's also the trademark weapon of Cúchulainn of Irish legend.




Sorry if I've repeated some things already said, I'm just trying to clarify them and maybe add some insight.
