Firstly:

The things in this page are REALLY out-of-date, since no1 cares about this page any more really. All such matters are now updated on the Player-Wiki :D, not here. This page is mostly for the rules of the server, and technical stuff.

Secondly:

Yes, Caras means "built fortress or dwelling surrounded by bulwarks( a wall of earth or other material built for defense)", but it is also used for "city (built above ground)". Caras, here, is said to be Silvan, but the word exists in Sindarin as well.

Galadhon basically means "of trees". (Galadhon can be interpreted as genitive plural "of trees", showing a case ending not existing in Sindarin but known from Quenya.)

So Caras Galadhon basically means "fortress of trees surrounded by bulwarks"

Ost, in Sindarin, means "City (with wall around)" but it also means "Fortress". The Quenya version of this is Osto, which is often shortened down to ost.

Some examples of this can be seen in the way i have named Builds on the server:

Elenost - Star-Fortress.

Yonwarost - City of the Borders.
