Mael (name)
The name Mael resembles old Celtic names from Brittany, Wales, and Ireland. "Mael" is a Breton boys' name meaning "chief" or "prince". The name for girls is "Maela". The Breton name is popular in French as "Maël", with French girl-forms "Maëlys" and "Maëlle", largely after the Breton Saint Maël. The Welsh boys name Mael was borne by the legendary son of Roycol. The old Irish word "máel" (now spelt "maol"), meaning "bald" and hence "monk", was sometimes put before Gaelic names to form new names such as "Maolcholuim" (spelt "Malcolm" by the English), which means "monk/follower of Columba Columba () or Colmcille (7 December 521 – 9 June 597 AD) was an Irish abbot and missionary evangelist credited with spreading Christianity in what is today Scotland at the start of the Hiberno-Scottish mission.

Mael (The Vampire Chronicles)
The following is a list of characters from Anne Rice's ''The Vampire Chronicles'', which began with the 1976 novel ''Interview with the Vampire''. The series primarily follows the antihero Lestat de Lioncourt, a French nobleman turned into a vampire in the 18th century, and by extension the many humans and vampires whose lives he has touched in his own long existence. Some characters from Rice's '' Lives of the Mayfair Witches'' trilogy cross over to ''The Vampire Chronicles'', specifically in '' Merrick'' (2000), '' Blackwood Farm'' (2002), and '' Blood Canticle'' (2003). Rice said in a 2008 interview that her vampires were a "metaphor for lost souls". The homoerotic overtones of ''The Vampire Chronicles'' are also well documented. As of November 2008, ''The Vampire Chronicles'' had sold 80 million copies worldwide. The first novel in the series, ''Interview with the Vampire'' (1976), was made into a 1994 film starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas, Christian Sla ...

Malazan Book Of The Fallen
The ''Malazan Book of the Fallen'' () is a series of epic fantasy novels written by the Canadian author Steven Erikson. The series, published by Bantam Books in the U.K. and Tor Books in the U.S., consists of ten volumes, beginning with '' Gardens of the Moon'' (1999) and concluding with '' The Crippled God'' (2011). Erikson's series presents the narratives of a large cast of characters spanning thousands of years across multiple continents. His stories present complicated series of events in the world upon which the Malazan Empire is located. Each of the first five novels is relatively self-contained, in that each resolves its respective primary conflict; however, many underlying characters and events are interwoven throughout the works of the series, binding it together. The Malazan world was co-created by Steven Erikson and Ian Cameron Esslemont in the early 1980s as a backdrop to their GURPS roleplaying campaign. In 2004, Esslemont began publishing his own series of six no ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The station is located 16 km from Rjukan and on the mouth of the river Måna in Vestfjorddalen where the river runs into Lake Tinn.

History Mæl Station was constructed based upon designs by architect, Thorvald Astrup. The station was built in 1909 when the Rjukan Line opened and was electrified in 1911. A new station building was constructed in 1917; it was named Rollag until 1921 when it had to change name because of the connection to the Rail transport in Norway, national railway network—there was already Rollag Station on the Numedal Line. After traffic on the Rjukan Line declined, the railway was closed in 1991. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
