'Tsellest', as far as I am aware, is nothing more than a palindrome. I happen to rather like palindromes and find this one especially beautiful in its construction, but didn't mean to suggest there was anythihng more going on with the name...
Tsellest is indeed a palindrome, but that's not the only reason I invented it...
The first T is silent so it's pronounced "Celest" as in "Celestial" ("of the heavens" or "star-like").
The "Ts" at the start is suggestive of "Tsar" (itself an anagram of "star") which is the Russian imperial title (derived from "Caesar" meaning ruler or king: alternate spelling is "Czar").
Thanks for that Mike but should you not be busy writing book 5 and 6 - just wondering
