No I did not follow any naming guides as I was writing. I chose the name on the fly as most Paladins follow a Divine or Meridia.. I thought it would catch people's eye to have it reference Sithis, the Void which.. if my grasp of lore is correct, is where all the other gods and stuff came from.. but more specifically is the one the Dark Brotherhood worship. Caerwyn was chosen as it sounded vaguely Celtic/Irish region and the Bretons I think are essentially the Irish of Cyrodil or about that region.. and the name sounded nice from a RP Fantasy perspective.
Okay, again I was just curious. Also, Caerwyn is a Welsh name that means Fortress White/Fair and Bretons in real life are part of the Gaelic family but are a combination of Gaelic and French. So they technically aren't "the Irish of Elder Scrolls", and Bretons come from High Rock, not Cyrodiil, that would be the Imperials.
Again I picked it because it sounded nice. To Quote Barbas.. "Skyrim is now host to giant, flying lizards and two-legged cat-men, and you're surprised by me?" The name and my reasons don't exactly sync up.. but Skyrim also doesn't have dragons it has Wyverns so.. I'm not going for total historical accuracy here.
(For anyone questioning why I say Wyverns not Dragons.. Wyverns are structured as the "Dragons" in skyrim, hind legs, tail, their front limbs are the wing arms and wings etc. A Dragon has four legs with wings closer to the shoulders or spine, as completely separate part of their bodies from the front legs.
