I have found out some very interesting facts on the origins of the Trow names and their background form our own mythology.
For a start the name Rhi'anon comes believe from the name Rhea - an ancient greek Titan (huge like Trow) who was also closely related to Ge - the mother of Titans and earth god who sprung out of Chaos - the same sort of thing that happenend with the Trow who came out of Wyrd's shattered one dream.
Also Rhea is connected to the Asiatic goddess Cybele who was worshipped as a block of stone (much like damaged Trow.
Rhea was the wife of Cronus (or Kronos) who, because he was told one of his sons would kill him ate his children as soon as they were born- similar to the Trow wiping out any race as soon as they came into conflict with them.
He overthrew his father Uranus to summon in a Golden Age - like the Trow's Golden Age although they hadn't overthrown Nyx, their creator. He also had problems in his golden age from his children (like ther myrkridia for the Trow).
One child caused especial, Zeus who managed to defeat Cronus and imprison his Titans on Tartarus, a part of the underworld where you suffered for atrocities comitted on Earth in this case against his own relatives.
This is extremely similar to the Trow being imprisoned by Connacht (one of the humans, their younger brother race - not quite children I know but the rest is good) under Rhi'anon for their atrocities against their other brother races. Then Zeus later freed the Titans like alor freed the Trow.
Cronus is also associated with volcanoes. Now look at Tharsis which is called the forge of the Trow. Tharsis is also the name of a very high volcano on Mars and is the connecting link between East and West like it is in Mythworld. It takes its name from the ancient Spanish town 'Tartessus' or 'Tharsus' of Cilicia. Also in the bible it says:
"And Jonas rose up to flee into Tharsis from the face of the Lord, and he went down to Joppe, and found a ship going to Tharsis: and he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them to Tharsis from the face of the Lord"
This is similar to Soulblighter fleeing into the Eye of Tharsis to hide from the face of Alric.
I think that's all the info I got on these names and I hope you find them useful
