Sthai = Sih-thigh ? Sit-eye?

Morvior = More-vyor? Maw-vyaw?

Nydekion = Nih-deh-key-on?

My take on 'em.

Personally, I've always enjoyed coming up with my own pronounciations for esoteric fantasy names. When authors put a guide for how to pronounce their characters' names in the front of the book I usually skip that over. It's quite amusing in that when I talk to someone who also plays Lusternia over the phone we perpetually have different ways of pronouncing the same names.

...and that's my useless FYI for the day.

Some of my Non-Lusternian characters, however, can be downright fun to try.
