Characters

The characters in May 2001 shown at https://web.archive.org/web/20010503030820/http://www.drowtales.com/cast.html were originally three:

Ariel
Ariel Del'Armgo was later renamed Ariel Val'Sarghress in the remake

Syphile
Syphile Del'armgo was later renamed Syphile Val'Sarghress in the remake, becoming a support character

Mez'Barris
Mez'Barris Del'Armgo was probably changed to influence a later character but who remains unclear.

Mel'Arnach
Mel'Arnach Del'Armgo was announced to come later, and eventually became Mel'arnach Val'Sarghress.

Kelnoz
Little is known.

Surnames
A key change was the Del'Armgo surname changing to Val'Sarghress.

A consistent pattern is the first portion is 3 letters (consonant+vowel+L) followed by an apostrophe. Then a two syllable second portion.
