Fledgling Fyora hellus Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Greetings! Does anybody happen to know who Thralni might be? Has there ever been a person with this name (in reality, in fiction, anywhere)? Or is it just the ExileCreator's invention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Rupert Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 In all likelyhood there has never been someone known as Thalrini in reality, nor fiction. It is generally thought that Jeff just made up names that he liked the sound of for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 A quick Google search reveals nothing. All the links are to Exile/Avernum-related sites. Well, except for this one , which is just really odd. It appears to be a recent (post-Exile, anyway) online D&D campaign using a number of "borrowed" city names, mostly from Exile, but also from Dragonlance. It has to be post-Exile, because they're using 3rd Edition, which came out in, er, 2000 I think, but certainly after Exile did in 1994. Anyway, yeah, I don't think Thralni is anything, although Jeff has been known to take names from various sources: the crazed member of the Triad, Linda, shares a name with Linda Strout, Spiderweb employee, and the popular historical Empire general who had an entire province of Valorim named after him has Mariann's last name, specifically Krizsan. He also used South Park names in ASR in Zaskiva. I could go on. I won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora hellus Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Thanks, FatBatMonkey! And Thanks, Kelandon! Yes, I did the Google seach before asking this question With pretty much the same result. which was the reason of the topic. As for characters names: yes, I, too, noticed that some of them are taken from various resources (and some of these are explaned, like Krizsan, though others have no referrence, yet e.g. Londo and Delenn were easy to trace). Thralni seemed unfamiiliar and - very funny-sounding Again, thanks for the replies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Cheeseball Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Actually I remember hearing something about a person in ancient times with the name Thralni, probably not spelled the same. Otherwise I doubt so, probably just a creation of Jeffs, along with the orb. (Sure been gone a long time, good to be back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 That looks alot like the Icewind Dale map. Especially with the names like "The Ten Towns." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila headbanger Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 The name "Thralni" is only in Exile, but he might've taken it from somewhere else (I ran a google search on it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 This appears to be a wildly unnecessary topic revival. If a topic has been inactive for a good, long while -- more than a few days, as a rule of thumb -- and you have nothing new to add -- which you didn't -- don't post in a thread.

Articulate Vlish FZ Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 An anagram of 'Orb of Thralni' is: Oh, a born flirt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Rupert Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Yup, you may have thought you were revealing hidden insights, unknown to any up until that point. But no. Pretty much everyone has done a google search on it by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Thralni Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hi hi. Thralni replying on a topic about Thralni. Anyway, I know him only from Avernum/Exile. It's the guy I got my username from. EDIT: oops, didn't notice how old this topic was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Princess Ruth Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Is this a record for a dead topic revival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Thralni Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I was searching on Google for Thralni (I wondered if I would see my website appear), and I saw this topic. I decided to reply, only to notice how extremely dead and burried this topic actually was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Apparently some boards did not get purged. Anyway, this thread is so old that FBM was actually FBM. Or, to put in in prespective, I'll bet it was started while my post count was still less than 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
