Perhaps in the same manner that there is an Alexandria in Egypt? I don't know enough about Damaran history or the timeline on the founding of Heliogabalus, but maybe a great leader from the Blade Kingdoms went on a northern warpath centuries (millenia?) ago and founded this far northern outpost. He was impressed one morning by a particularly beautiful sunrise and named the stronghold in honor of the sun. After being cutoff from southern reinforcements and supplies, he instead fortified it, eventually founding a proper city.
I'm sure that's not even close to accurate in Damaran/Heliogabalus history, but hey I took a swing at it. The point being that explorers and militaristic leaders cause an awful lot of cultural cross-polination.
Damara was founded by Impilturans, not conquerors from the distant south. And at the time Unther or its provinces (and any successor states forged from provinces) were powerful and expansionary, the area where Heliogabalus would be was buried under ice. |

There is actually a list of insults and curse words in "Elminster's Forgotten Realms" Pg 16 has the list, but there are referances to slang used in insulting manners around there as well, like calling a new money rich peson who boasts too much as "Bright-fisted-coin" Bright-coin means new money
Look it up and you too might eventually become a Scrorchkettle!
One of the worst insuts to give Drow, Beholders or Mind Flayers is to call them "nigh human" |
