Etymology

The town's name is derived from cena, the Italian word for "dinner". A legend claims that St. John the Evangelist was passing through the town on his way to Rome, and stopped for dinner.

gollark: They seem to generally have been named after general... stuff... and not specific mythological beings.
gollark: Oh right, the existing ones already have elemental wotsits, that's a clue.
gollark: The desert one might be... sun, or oasis, or summer, or something, not earth.
gollark: To be honest, I kind of prefer the original set's egg colors, but the new ones look nice as hatchlings.
gollark: The existing xenowyrm names seem to be Greek-ish, so the new ones are probably similar.
