Sezaris:
hey, Sand Canyon is a very popular meme in Japan (well, Niko Niko Douga, anywayz) :P
Anyhow, Sezaris is the name of a player character I played on a session of D&D. RIP Sez.

--- Quote from: temuchin --- yes sirs, Temuchin Borjigin is the birth name of the man whom would later become known as
Cinggis Qayan (Mongolian for Genghis Khan). Temüjin also written as Temuchin, literally
translates into "supreme being" in English. there is some ambiguity on the spelling of his
name, but i opt for "Temuchin"; since one of the foremost Mongolian experts, Paul Ratchnevsky
does so in his German book, Cinggis-Khan: Sein Leben und Wirken (Genghis Khan His Life and
Legacy). I own and have read the English translated text by Thomas Nivison Haining.
i also feel Genghis Khan was/is a misunderstood figure. one on hand he was a tactical military
genuis whom valued loyalty above all else from his generals. he ruled through a meritocracy and
and learned from other cultures. ie. the Chinese.
on the other; well check out a famous quote regarding happiness:
"To vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those
dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters." a man to admire.
note: 2006: was the 800 year anniversary of the formation of the Mongol Empire.

I would like to explain the meaning of his name for your further knowledge.
We pronounce his name Temujin. You may wonder what it means.
Temujin = Temur + Jin. > Temur means "Iron" in traditional Mongolian language, Jin means "man" and it was his born name. Temur (Tumur in modern Mongolian language) is quite common name as well as Smith
"Chinggis (Genghis)" was his title and it's considered possibly derived from "Tenggis" which means Sea and his son Ogodei later got a title "Dalai khan". Dalai means Ocean. Therefore "Khan" means King and that's that.
Borjigon is the name of a clan where Temujin was born in. Today over 70% of Mongolians claim they are from Borjigon. However clan names don't play any roles in our society, besides i happened to be not of them keke :P (doesn't matter!)
