Notes (2016)[edit]

"Taoiseach" is the Irish Gaelic word for "Chieftain" or "Leader". It is pronounced "TEE-shukh". The Welsh word corresponding to it is "Tywysog" (pronounced "Too-WI-sog"), meaning "Prince".

Rhylanor seems to have an association with names derived from the British Isles (Welsh in particular), including the Shipbuilding Company "Clan Severn", and the noble family "House Connor" (Rhys ap-Connor was a paramour of Duchess Arbellatra of Rhylanor prior to her ascension to the Imperial Throne).
