Languages and Names

[Darren Hill]

Does anyone have a master list of the languages used on Weyrth (and where they are spoken)?

Also, what sort of Earth-style names should be used for people of Gelure and Cyrinthmeir?

[Lance D. Allen]

Not sure what you mean by "Earth-style"... But people from Gelure are Geluroise, and those from Cyrinthmeir are Cyrinthmeiran, and the Dardanri from Dardanet.. Then you've got your Stahlnish Stahlners, your Fahalan Fahalanim and your Helenic Helenians...

Others, such as Odeon, Ixliaph and Tez'Hamun I have no real idea.

I mean, what kind of names would people have. People from Angarad might be called Daffyd, and people from Stahl could have Teutonic names, but I really have no idea how to name characters from Gelure and Cyrinthmeir.

I created a list of about 1000 names for use in my campaign in Cyrinthmeir, culled from old Anglo-Saxon names, so people will have strange, yet realistic names like Æþælstan, Biarnðryðe or Swithulf, while avoiding things like Et'www'thn (or something).

I've only got one Gelurian NPC at present, named Sain-Germain (going for a pseudo French flavor there).

Gelure is a little trickier, since there is no apparent historical counterpart.

I was thinking the Gelure nation might have a Latin influence, due to proximity to the Seat. I was leaning towards Frankish names for Cyrinthmeir (with no support) purely because that's the country it reminds me of. But germanic or anglo-saxon does make sense.

Care to share that name list? You know where to send them :)

The name list is on its way! :-)
