When I was young I read many books. One was Wizard's First Rule, first book in a long series, who's main antagonist was named Darken Rahl. Another was Pawn of Prophecy, with a protagonist with the name Garion, another first book in a series. Finally, another book was The Eye of the World, yet another first book in a long long series, with a protagonist with the name Rand Al'Thor.
In 1999 I started playing an MMO called EverQuest and made my first character, a warrior named Dharkin Al'Garion. I played that character for about 5 years. Until I decided to create a new warrior named Dharh, which is the shorthand name that most people called me then. I have used that name for most everything since.
