A spawn of an enormous ancient spider who happens to dance. (quite obvious, eh?

Grey tree ..... not grey something maiden ..... happened to be my main RPG character at the moment I joined who was a silver-haired elf and to fit her char I wanted something mysterious and unobtrusive ..... as a change and contrast to earlier more flamboyant characters.... who were actually slightly obnoxious... which is closer to me - I won't say!

After somebody says don't say that your screen name doesn't mean anything, sooner or later someone gonna say, ''My screen name doesn't mean anything, huh huh huh huuuh.'' Just you wait

i know about that, but most people would think you get it from Minas Morgul, which means City of the Dead...just thinking don't have to throw it back in my face if you don't like Dead Queen

Sorry Gil-Galad, I didn't mean it like that. It's just that after a while you get so tired of explaining this to people who then accuse you of flaming...*sighs*

But, to be technical, Minas Morgul is called the City of the Dead because that's where the Nazgul rule, the actual meaning is the 'Tower of Dark Sorcery'.

I actually chose the name because, at the time, I had a nazgirlish fixation with the Morgul-Lord....not my best idea, but I have grown rather attached to the name.

Oh, and City of the Dead would be 'Ostgyrth'.

Sorry again, I'm a PPC agent, if that's any explaination. I get a bit annoyed when people misinterpret elvish.
