Why do we call Veteran Dragonstar Arena, vDSA, but call Veteran Maelstrom Arena vMA?

✭✭✭✭✭Probably because Maelstrom is a single word and Dragonstar is the name of a region composed of two words.12 -

✭✭✭✭Dragonstar is two full words put together, so vDSA
Maelstrom is one word, it can't be pulled apart into two words, hence vMA
It's not really a mystery4 -

The logic applied to Dragonstar Arena isn't applied anywhere else to any of the other Dungeons or Trials. Dragonstar is a single word as it is written in-game. If it were written as Dragon Star Arena, then that would warrant the acronym DSA. But it's not, Dragonstar is written as a single word, so, DA would be logical.CP2,100 Master Explorer - AvA Two Star Warlord - Console Peasant - Khajiiti Aficionado - The Clan

Meld777✭✭✭✭✭Maelstrom is one word in itself. You cannot split it and have two words "mael" and "strom". Dragonstar is a combination of two words.Maelstrom Arena Champion | Undaunted | Fighters Guild Victor

Xoelarasizerer✭✭✭Maelstrom is always only one word and cannot be two words, (even though Mael was a Breton Saint from Wales) Dragonstar can be and are two words, despite being one word here.
Actually, Strom is also the german word for "steam" and "flow" but iunno if a Welsh Breton Saint's german flow was kept in mind for the Maelstrom arena. Fa-Nuit-Hen might have some explaining to do.Edited by Xoelarasizerer on October 26, 2017 2:58AM0
