Behind the Scenes
Being the son of a dark elf, the surname of the character, Dunkelsohn, roughly translates from the German as "dark son." His given name, Schloss, comes from the German word for "castle."
The player of Schloss Dunkelsohn first discovered GemStone while browsing America Online and began playing around 1997, starting with a dark elf ranger named Falel Fogelnacht. The surname of Fogelnacht comes from the German words Vogel for "bird" (pronounced 'fogel') and Nacht for "night." The player also recalled playing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons with a girl who had a powerful elf character named F'Lel, which inspired the given name, Falel. Note that the accent is on the second syllable of Falel (i.e., Fa-LEL rather than FAL-el).
The background verse, The Lay of Falel Fogelnacht, is based on the lyrics to Mr. Bojangles.
