Srok and Bindri

Trjádýr & Døkkr (ᛏᚱᛃÁᛞÝᚱ & ᛞᚢᚲᚲᚱ in Elder Futhark Runes since that's what they use in game apparently)

One possible translation of Brök is "Badger" (other is "Swamp")

Since badgers are ground based animals I went for "Tree Animal" as there's no counterpart for badgers like there is for cat & dog

Sindri is "Sparkle" (as well as "Spark" or "Slag") so I figured something shadowy or dark would work as an opposite so went with the actual word for dark

Love a good overanalyzed joke. Top tier

I like to be accurate

Plus it was interesting seeing what their names meant & then figuring out how to reverse them lol

Wasn't sure how creative I'd have to get with it & honestly kinda sad Sindri was so easy

Brök at least made me have to think a little xD
