Small correction, it is actually " ال سلام " , or "As-Salaam" (the L
in AL elides with "shams" letters). It would also be inappropriate for
you to receive such a greeting, which is a du'a reserved for muslims
only. Since you are using the name "Eris, is the name of a "deity", it
is safe to assume you are not a muslim. :) It is also "As-salaamu",
there is a "damma" or "u" vowel atop then meem in "salaam".

"marhaban" is a more appropriate greeting in this case.
