The original title to the stories was "Legends of Terra."
I eventually updated it to "Chronicles of Terra."

But frankly, I'm questioning the concept as a whole, so I've decided to try and see if there's a more unique name out there, or at least not as unoriginal as the above, by asking around for suggestions.

Only other idea I have is "Red/Pale Moon under the Twilight Sky," in reference to the key players of the story, who are represented as such through their names.

In general:
-The story is fantasy, with different races, medieval weapons and sorcery. (Note: No "overuse of magic leads to world's death" story possible)
-It involves an event in the past causing further events in the future.
-It involves a power hungry villain that you want to hate.
-There's some romance, but it no where near the focus.
-The story would be more about the development of one's "Self." Essentially, development of characters intertwined into the story.
-There's a possibility of there being more than one story. A spinoff about the backstory about one of the major characters, and one detailing the major event in the world's history.
-Story takes place over ten to twelve years. Details over the youth of the characters, a section involving school life, then gets into a political conspiracy/ war in the final third. Looking at it, the epitome of "It gets better later."
-Another main story element is the contrast of light and dark, as well as balance. One character is mostly white in color, and has a more innocent personality, but their element is dark. Another is mostly dark in color, and has a more no-frills personality, but whose main element is light.
-As for natural symbolism: Moons and night skies in general.

Might be a good idea to keep these concepts in mind when thinking about the story.
