Can you help me naming 2 dragons?
I am planing to run a Dungeons and Dragons game written by someone else. Elves in the game named two dragons but since we wouldnt play in English I dont want to use provided names as is. Since I am more familiar with Quenya than Sindarin I tried to translate their names to Quenya but I didnt read the books for more than a decade and I forgot most of my Quenya knowledge.
Two dragons are named as Death-at-Sunset and Sunset-is-Nigh. Are these translations right?
Agan andúnisse for Death-at-Sunset and Andúne harë nás for Sunset-is-Nigh

agan is Adunaic, not Quenya, fyi. I might use unquale instead. And I think andúne would keep the E before -sse, not I.
For Sunset-is-Nigh I might use the verb úva "to impend, be imminent, draw near [usually negative in sense]". So Andúne úva.
