Alduins

Alduins is a proper noun used primarily in fantasy and speculative fiction to denote a plural or collective form associated with ancient lineages, groups, or titles. The term is not tied to a single canonical work; rather, it appears in multiple independent contexts, often as a family name or designation for a legendary order.

Etymology: The name Alduin has been adopted in various works with no standardized origin. In many cases authors design it to sound archaic or Nordic-inspired. Because it is employed across different settings, etymologies vary by author, with some treating it as a constructed name rather than derived from real-world languages.

Usage: In fantasy worlds, Alduins may designate a noble house, a clan of warriors, a pan-guild, or a mythic collective. The plural form signals a lineage or group rather than a single individual. Individual stories assign the term different backstories, powers, and affiliations.

Variations and related terms: Related spellings include Alduin and similar constructed forms, depending on the work. The singular Alduin is more commonly encountered as a name or title in some media, while Alduins tends to mark multiplicity or legacy.
