Help with lore firiendly faction names for Bay of Voices mod

Hi there!

 

I'm working on a mod - Bay of Voices - that will have three quest lines that tie into lore and need a bit of advice.  The three lore areas that I am dealing with are the The Arcturian Heresy, the Taesci, and the Dragon Cult.  It is the dragon cult that I am hoping for a bit of advice on at present (though the other two lore areas will tie into the cult).  

 

My premise is that Akatosh would not have created a World Eater without also creating a way to reboot the world, thus, as per the Parthanax convo, allowing one age to end and another begin.  So how does that happen?  I propose that it is done through a fertility cult associated with the Dragons and Dragonborn.  To wit, that the Dragon Cult was originally led only by Dragonborns and that at the end of an age, a male and female Dragonborn would act as a cosmic original couple to start a new world ... give birth to a new age, if you will.  I think it fits with lore and I am going on the premise that the Dragon Cult in Skyrim was corrupted by Alduin thereby leading to the Dragon Wars.

 

As the plan is for all the lore areas to tie into each other I need to make sure that my ideas for the dragon cult make sense so I can seed the other questlines and ambient dialogue with little info dumps here and there. 

 

So ... a couple of questions:

 

- I am currently calling the servants of the Dragon Cult Keepers but realize that there are Keepers in the Soul Cairn and need a new name for them. These current servants are the descendants of the guys that betrayed the Dragon Cult oh so many years ago .  They protect the temple and the dragonborn priest inside as a way to restore their families honour.  What would be a good lore friendly name?

 

Next question gives away some quest secrets so I will put it in a spoiler just in case you'd rather not know:

 

 

 


- Other problem, that dragonborn priest (who is going to be the Underking if I can make it work) ... I was calling him The Betrayed, but that is the name of the Snow Prince ... soooo ... he needs a new name too.  I don't want to flat out call him the Underking because I want that to be something the PC has to figure out but I do want to have a suggestion of who he might be.  My intention is to make it that the Akaviri locked him in so his temple has the same 'face' door that Skyhaven has.  Freeing him will require tracking down the Heart of Lorkhan and will involve that dwemer device in Septimus' Outpost.  Thoughts?
 

 

 

Anyway ... thanks for your help with this fellow lore-ish aficionados :)

 

If it isn't too much to ask, I will probably be in here poking around for help with some of the deep lore stuff as I get into it.
