On Rain World's Iterator Names

Aside LttM whose name doesn't quite fit my model, other iterator names seem to be following a [descriptor] [noun] format, where nouns can be either singular or plural and descriptors can be one or multiple words (eg. Seven Red Suns) and can include negations (No Significant Harassment).

Considering our "sample" common descriptors seem to include colours and numbers, as well as potentially "-ing" form of verbs (i don't remember how those are called. lol). Adjectives, generally.

A few iterators seem to be named using a modified convention/system, [blank] of [blank] like Sliver of Straw.

(As for coming up with names: the string of words can be anything, but i would personally recommend staying clear from anything too odd (and "odd" is subjective. One of the characters literally has BOTH "significant" and "harassment right there, next to eachother)/hard to pronounce (eg. One of my iterator OCs is named Three Braided Disks instead of three Woven Disks to streamline pronunciation, but that's a me thing) amd I like to stay mindful of numbers of syllables and where stress is so that it sounds nice.)

@jollysunflora heres some stuff on how godtiers could be customized!

TLDR: would the character want their outfit customized, do they have preferences on how they present gender-wise, could the godtier reflect their personal style and my favorite: would they customize it by alchemizing or are they artistic enough to try modifying it themself?

HOLD on. I'm having thoughts.

So in Hollow knight I always wondered what the crystals were being mined for? Since I believe we never see them in use. Why were they valuable to the king to create mines? I used to think they were just used for trade but in that case wouldn't the nobles of the City of Tears use them for decoration or something? Anything??

The text of Deep Focus says: "Naturally formed whithin a crystal over a long period of time. Draws SOUL from the surrounding air". This would check out as a property of the crystals, Myla mentions to hear/have heard them humming.

If the crystals hold soul, couldn't they have been used in the soul statues?? I've been wondering whether this is a stretch, but if my memory is correct then there are statues in the neighboring areas of Crystal Peak (if not in Peak itself but I can't remember that much). Which would mean that it's plausible that the Void Civilization had reached Crystal Peak and so could have utilised the resources?

From here it's easy to connect those with the soul statues in the White Palace which mimic in appearance the king and the Hollow Knight - clearly made during Pale King's reign. That could have been a part of the demand resulting in the mining efforts, no?
