| Message | OOC: As far as I can tell by my records, Dovia is called by two things in Luthori. Dovia and Dovian, the reason is due to Dove, but it could just be that they were all misspelled. |

| Message | OOC: I've never heard it called Dovia. Dovanian sounds more correct since the continent is called Dovani. |
