Peter Lowe asked Michael J. Sullivan:

How do you pronounce "Riyria"?

Michael J. Sullivan Ha - thanks for asking. You know, had I known that the series would have been published and would be popular I probably would have picked a better word. I chose this mainly because I liked the symetry of the letter (two sets of "ri" with a y in the middle.

So here's how it goes. There are three syllables: rye (like the bread), ear (like what you listen through) and ahhhh (a sigh of relief).
