The name Rhue

What does it symbolize? I got interested again when I game across a blacksmith character in The Fall of Mahkinoc which was also called Rhue. While Rhue is a very fitting name for the book, fwacho would certainly be aware of any sort of symbolic meaning attached to the name, so he probably wouldn't use the name unless the symbolism worked for both characters. Yet I can't draw a single line between the two! So I figure I'll just ask you guys what you have found.

I always thought it was just some sort of easter egg for those readers who know the Way series. There's another character like that, at the end of the book.

You realize that book was written by Lun's brother, right?

He realises it was written by fwacho, so it is possible he realises that fwacho is Lun's brother...

If I didn't realize the book was written by lun's brother, then why would I say that fwacho would know what symbolic meaning the name had, unless I had seen this discussed on this forum, in which case I wouldn't be making this topic.

Ovenhole, I suppose that seems logical. Though it'd still be nice to know what the name symbolizes.
