I read the description of the name you're using. I'd like to inform you that ''Akallabeth'' is a term used by J.R.R. Tolkien on his works, like ''The Silmarillion''. The term stands for "collapse", "downfall", "overthrow" (but in a catastrophic way). I've always thought you misspelled it in your name (there should be one more "l") and I couldn't imagine that the name source was a different one. --- [[User:Mobius|Mobius]] | I read the description of the name you're using.
