Gwyn?

How would I translate "Gwyn, Lord of Cinder?

Asking because I'm  a Dark Souls/ Skyrim nerd.

"Cinder" is not a word in the canon corpus. A slightly altered title "Lord of the Dying Fire" translates as thur do viir-yol if the bearer is an ultimate authority by unquestioned might, or drog do viir-yol if the bearer is in principle subservient to someone. Names do not translate, but the Y in Gwyn is closest in sound to a draconic I rune.

the name Gwyn could possibly be from Welsh word for "white" or "blessed" (search for gwyn name meaning). therefore that direct name translation would be Sot or Kogaan/Kogaanaan
