The name "Akalabeth"

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. --- Mobius

    • Interesting. I have the impression that the creators of Akalabeth know about Tolkien's Akallabeth... --- Mobius
