explained the name “Erdrick” was the heros real name and that Loto was what the hero was dubbed. What the heck?
His true name was Erdrick, but he recieved the title Roto, meaning savior, for defeating the Archfiends. Erdrick was probably never called Loto in his lifetime, but one of his descendants over a hundred years later became known as the Descendant of Loto as a joke (thanks to a child who mispronounced the name). After all, that would mean he didn’t have savior ancistery. Eventually most people forgot Erdrick was titled Roto and believed his actual name to be Loto.
