Morality and naming in AT

[hailstone]

I would like to see the naming of objects, creatures, roles, crafts in the AT world, when they have moral connotations, to be AT specific instead of borrowing words which are distinctly familiar religious terms in Earth culture.

For instance instead of 'chapel', call it something else, like for example:

Blissful Hall
Shaded Seat
High Dwelling
Solemn Passage
Dream Pavilion
Exalted Keep
Averted Segment
...
...

and call a priest for example:

a Factor
an Etherean
an Emissary
an Ancient
a Celestic
a Frail
...
...

I feel it's easier to think freely about moral choices, when it is free of well-known words linked to Earth religions.
