Phantom lord. That sounds so awesome. But that could mean more than just a weak king, it could mean someone who rules from the shadows (Like Maven Black-Briar). Unless there is already a word for that, I think sahdrog is good for the role. But I should get back to the bounty.

OK, I take this back. Shadow lord would do it. Phantom lord fits the other one.

Perhaps sahdrog could refer to both. Dragons would value leadership that is forthright, visible, readily apparent in power. They would consider someone who rules from the shadows or manipulates for power unfit to lead.

For the perpetual, always existed could dunev/unnev work? As un-decay, never decay. Or perhaps nehdir, 'never die' or undying, which I do not think you have a word for? Forgive me if I'm wrong on that.

And is there a limit on a number of words we can suggest for?

I don't think there is a limit. The problem with the 1.0 Bounty was that there was.

Nope, there's no limit.

@Fuskren, how about bokren, "to break flight"? I think this or something like duviing would capture the sense of preventing or disabling flight.

@Nehdir, the meaning of this one isn't quite the same as "eternal." Whereas "eternal" means "without end," this word means "without a beginning," something that has always existed.

@Dinokstrin, the fate could involve death, but not necesssarily. For example, Paarthurnax has resigned to his fate of living on solitude on the Throat of the World. This is a word that would describe that.

I was just rethinking dinokstrin. But perhaps the second one 'doom-seal'. Daanstrin, doom could be taken either way? Or daankuyiz, 'doom-driven' as Tsun says in Sovngarde.

I think doom-seal resembles giving up on your faith more than doom-driven.

For something that has no beginning would kiindahnu work, as in 'birthless'?

I like daanstrin, that could work. Or grodaan, "bound (to) doom."

Doom-seal to me I saw as sealing off on your fate, whatever it may be. Giving up on faith didn't occur to me, but interesting interpretation.

It's really tricky to define, essentially it's a verb that means "to extend through all of time, to retroactively happen." This might work best as a non-canon word, in the same way that ul "eternity" is just ul, and not something like voblaan "unending/not ending."

Should there be a distinction between a person who is immortal and something, anything, that exists perptually? Should we have two words, one for a being and then another for something inanimate?

In the same way how ul is just ul. Here came one of the rare LOLs that is not a lie.
