Tuarhievel and Tuar Annwn?

[Tim Nutting]

According to Player's Secret's of Tuarheivel, the land is named after it's
first queen, Tuar. If that is the case, can someone with Tribes of the
Heartless Waste tell me the reason for the Vosgaard elven kingdom of Tuar
Annwn?

According to TotHW, Tuar Annwn translates as "Land of the Dead". So, I guess
there's not a connection.

Heh. I would suppose "Tuar" is a popular name, as she was a popular Queen.
Also, I don't see any reason to believe that Queen Tuar was necessarily the
first person ever called "Tuar". For instance, there are lots of Washingtons,
but just one had a District of Columbia named in his honor. Now I'll have to
research a bit, but I thought someone had given a meaning to some of these
Elven words, or perhaps there is a Welsh meaning...

Tuar a welsh-celtic varriant meaning BIG HILL or LOW HILL it is a bastardized
word that is neither pure welsh or celtic
