《Sky: CotL canon lore, theories, and observation》The Elders' concept names part 1 (Isle - Valley)

Before going into detail, here a summary of Elder names:
Golden Wasteland Elder: Tsadi
Vault of Knowledge Elder: Lamed
Eye of Eden Elder: Alef/Resh

1. Isle/Daleth
The name was mentioned in the Tom Zhao concepts, linked on the final page of this document. Avian themes are characteristic of the Isle Elder.
(Daleth concept art from Tom Zhao's website)
Above is the a social media release for the Isle elder. The name reads "Daleth," and his related terms are "dawn" and "ferry post," referring to the characteristics of his realm. This confirms the connection between the name and the character.
Daleth (pronounced 'da-let') is the fourth letter in the Hebrew alphabet. While the specific root of this name is not known, it is commonly accepted that the preceding, ancient letter that lead to 'Daleth' looked like a door. Similarly, the Hebrew word for 'door' is "Delet.' Perhaps this is referenced as Daleth is the Elder who welcomes you into the Kingdom of Sky; actively functioning as the door to the kingdom.
In a spiritual sense, 'Daleth' is said to represent humility. Another source expresses that Daleth represents the choice to open oneself to hope or remain closed off. A Tom Zhao concept aligns with this sense.

2. Prairie/Ayin
Concepts for the Prairie Elder, given in a social media release by TGC.
Ayin (pronounced 'ah-yeen') is the sixteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It is derived from the Hebrew word for eye, and is recognised to symbolise sight, both physical and spiritual.
When applied to a person, the source expresses that "Someone who has the letter ע in their name is a big-hearted person with a constant desire to help others. They are people without an ego, and all they want is to see that things are good and go well for others."

3. Forest/Teth
The simplest and most straightforward name match. A majority of the fandom correctly guess this as the Hidden Forest Elder's name.
Their name was also present in this concept:
Teth (pronounced 'tate', but the fandom says teth) is the ninth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Perhaps this is reflected in the number of tied hair segments she has (four on the front, five on the back). It also had developed from the pictogram of a 'spinning wheel;' a large one was inside her temple in the older versions of Sky.
There is a sense of duality associated with this letter; although it is the first letter in the Hebrew word for 'purity' (used to describe the creation of light in Judaism and the separation of light and darkness) , it is also the first letter for the word 'impurity'.
This may be reflected in the production of dark stone in the Hidden forest, in which she applies light to dark stone. Aside from the main source used for these analyses, another source expresses that 'Teth' also represents a serpent

5. Valley Twins/Samekh
There is only one name given to the two twins, because a TGC release at CAFA GAME ART (2018) stated that there was only supposed to be one elder for the Valley of Triumph: a priestess
A translation of the text reads: Perfection, romantic, optimism, eternity Descendants fly with light creatures on the summit, practice their flying skills. Light creatures leave them when they arrive in the arena. Descendants summon and challenge an ancient(priestess). She tells them the lighthouse is just beyond the clouds. Descendants then start flying down the mountain towards a mysterious castle, but suddenly lose control of flight
The name "Samekh" was used to label the twins in this concept too:
Samekh (pronounced 'sah-meck') is the fifteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. In a literal sense, it means 'support.' Its essence expresses something circular; something with no beginning and no end. It also often represents a fortified wall, which protects/ allows for a sense of security. This circular theme is present throughout the Valley; in the ice rink, the globe rings and structure shape of the Citadel, and in the old Valley Elder cutscene.

The Struggles of Dating a Demon [Completed]
Mabel's boss dabbled in awfully questionable business for the owner of an herb store, and she never blinked when he had suspicious-looking visitors. On one particular Sunday, though, Mabel couldn't help but watch the man leaving Herman's office with a critical eye. It wasn't his impressive height, dark eyes, or shaggy hair that kept her curiosity piqued.Instead, it was the way the shadows seemed to collect around him, dancing under his feet as he walked and vanishing abruptly as soon as the door shut behind him. *****"Do not call me 'Death,' Little One." He reached a hand down to help her up, but Mabel swatted it away, standing on her own and scowling. "Don't call me 'Little One,' Death." She fired back, crossing her arms and straightening her back to look taller. "And, besides, you're the one who told me your name was Death, so what else am I supposed to call you?" The raspy growl that rolled from his throat didn't sound anything like a chuckle, but the slight smile on his face told her otherwise. "Aleron." ******He brings death to those deemed wicked, but sees her as an angel and vows that nothing will harm her under his watch.Highest Ranks: #1 in Littleone 8/7/2019#1 in Mystical 8/25/20; 9/2/20; 9/11/20; 6/13/21#1 in Mythical 9/25/20#1 in Devil 5/16/21#1 in Heaven 5/20/21#4 in Paranormal 8/25/20#1 in demon 8/7/22

(previously titled The Vampires Human)"Awe pretty baby, look how cute you look all tied up and crying for us," he softly stroked my face, but the smirk on his lips made me shiver. He turned to look at them, "What should we do with you now?" He asked, lowering himself to my face. I stared at him wide eyed, listening to the others circle around me like lions ready to pray on a lamb. I can't hide my arousal from them, they can sense it, even if I lie, they'll call my bluff. I bit my lip, staring into his red eyes. "Punish me?" ~•~This book contains sexual content, age gaps, light bdsm, and second hand embarrassment. If you don't like submissive female leads, this isn't the book for you.READ THE DISCLAIMER.(cover by @asweetprincess )
