Well, I don't particularly think Du Wyrda Heill would work, mainly just because we don't have anything about them being healers or anything (do we?). Also, in order for Edoc'sil to work, it would seem that they would have to be *nigh* 'unconquerable' and the only way for that to work is if the Kreeshone were more powerful than the elves...
Not to mention my partiality to Athan... of course...

Well if you translate Du wyrda Heill it translates to 'the fate healers' which means they believe they are bending and changing the fate of Alagaesia for the better. They aren't physically healing any wounds but they believe they are helping the empire's fate.
They would be The Edoc'sil which means unconquerable. They themselves don't have to be impossible to beat but elves; if skilled are nigh Edoc'sil as well and if these are equal in skill as highly training elves they could call themselves Edoc'sil yes they can be defeated but their cause and they will cannot and that would be why they call themselves Edoc'sil.
Athan is a geographical term for them and wouldn't really either instill fear into of encourage the hearts of people and to convince them to see the light of their cause.

One thing, just a curiosity... do you really want to have to type 'Du Wyrda Heill' every time you want to talk about the rebel group?... Though I do like the meaning, BTW- Who says 'Athan' means location?

and the varden means the warders, that isn't fear instilling. I like the Edocsil, but I think it would only make sense if the Kreeshone were unconqurable (sp).
for Athan, it is cool, and tells people that know the ancient language like we are from beyond. 'well, where is beyond?' they would ask. I don't know, I think it is cool, but really, it doesn't have to be geographical, it very well could, but it doesn't have to.
the fate healers, that to me would make them almost like - well, fallen angels, like they have been watching Alagaesia, and now have to heal it's fate, or else? I dont know, that would be cool, but we could like abbreviate it down to Duwyhe , or Duyrill , ? taking some letters from each to make something cooler?
all of them have potential though.

'Athan' means 'beyond', but unless you are going to somehow talk to a man who has been dead for (give or take) thirty years, you can't say that it only means a location or place.
Also, I wasn't aware that the name of the rebel group was supposed to instill fear... just saying.
And a shorter version of 'Du Wyrda Heill' would be a good choice, my only problem with it is that it is a long name, a shorter name would have a... I don't know *grasps for words* nicer ring to it, I guess. Kinda like the Varden, it is short, and doesn't take too long to say...

Nor is it hard to say or type. I would love to have something short that you dont have to copy and paste to type it lol.
but for the Kreeshone's personalities...?

What about something like 'Dwyrill'? Yes, I basically took the last name you gave and changed the 'u' to a 'w', but still...
As far as personality: If they were fierce all the time, then wouldn't we have heard about them before now? I mean, if they don't like Galbatorix, then wouldn't they have tried to do something to kill him before now? Now, if they were kind, unless provoked, then they wouldn't have come into Alagaesia before now because the threat wasn't severe enough... I have no clue if any of what I just said makes sense, but that is what I thought of when I thought about it...

it makes perfect sese, cause they are not being provoked until now - which something is chasing them out of what is their current homeland (and has killed amost all of them, which is why there are so few!) but they are staying in very back of the beors, so no one knows abut them. But then, one of them (my third character) starts rallying up people for a rebel against the empire, tired of living in the shadows! *angry mob roars in background* He flies all over, and disguising, starts to get elves, dwarves, humans, and a werecat or two. He gets about, oh, say, 500 hundred people? whatever, not really sure with the numbers, but a fair amount, and starts this thing in the back of the beors, and travels across to surda, which is where they join with Surda and the varden. then, it goes from there. They are together, but again, seperate. the varden, surda, and the rebs are like 3 sects of a kingdom of like a couple thousand people. But the rebs bring cash to the kingdom, brining surda out of poverty (well, not all of it, just releives some of their financial burden). But not all of the Kreeshone join, in fact, hardly any joined, they all choose to live in the beors, not wanting to get involved in the empires affairs.
this statement would be detailed and evolved, but it would go with their personality peaeful until provoked.
this is what I think the plot should be. Then, like, Galbatorix has to be killed off at some time, but while everyone is celebrating, the evil creature (a whatever) takes over the empire, and immediatly starts ruling, killing anyone who deifies, including most of Galbs. council.
now, the three sects, the dwarves, the elves, and the riders, called the six sects (or whatever, the six forces against the empire) all have to scramble, for they have just won a very bloody battle, and for what? for a new and even more powerful king to emerge.
whatcha think (PLEASE MORE THEN A YES OR NO!)

Ooooooh... Eeexcellent *Steeples fingers* No, really that sounds great. Details need to be worked out, of course, but it provides a great reason for the Kreeshone never having been mentioned before, and it also gives us a semi-formed plan to follow for a good bit of the rp. Not sure what else I can say, what you said seems to fit almost perfectly with what I was thinking.

yah, but while this is happening, we are secuded in Ellesmera, where news doesn't travel fast. When we come out, there is a war? ro something, or whatever, and we have to go to sura or whatever, and that is where we meet the Kreeshone, but we will be there when the varden and surda meet them to, so we can all meet the kreeshone together, so its not like "Oh, hi how are you? Oh, did I mention there is a new race of winged people?" soo it makes it easier.
