How did you come up with it?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I really don't know the answer to that actually. Well, I write fantasy part time and I'm always coming up with new "words" and "names" to use in my stories, for example, I (think) made up the place names in my latest - "Tironë, Bamaur, Chelak, Bul'levan and Haladie" (awful aren't thay?) from combining the ends and middles of random words, maybe "Starbreeze" was born that way, but as far as I can remember I was walking down the corridor one day and lightning struck me and whispered "Starbreeze". Or prehaps I wasn't listening to my friend properly and thought she said "Starbreeze" when she really said sneeze...?But anyway, I'm glad you like it, its always nice to have feedback on this type of thing. I wasn't going to use it in my books, but maybe I will after all...What do you mean by "ElfQuesty"?Hope I haven't bored everyone with my gabble, I find it interesting, but few others do. In fact, I have yet to meet anyone how can stay awake for more than two minutes of my babble...oh, here I go again.<Calls into the distance> If anyone out there IS still awake, I apologise for the boredom (lol)
