Fledgling Fyora Tuidjy Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I find it a curious coincidence that Sliven and Elhovo happen to be the names of two Ahriel cities. Both are pretty common Slavic words, and the names of multiple settlements in Bulgaria, Serbia, and possibly other Slavic countries. For those who care, it's Сливен and Елхово, and the names share roots with "plum" and "pine". I also met people with common Slavic names, like, of course, Ivan. So, is that a coincidence, or are Ahriel meant to be vaguely Slavic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Jeff has in the past used names from whatever he has been reading, watching, or listening to for his games. This is a list of name cameos. It included every one that someone has noticed and the source. Your catching a possible reason for the names might get included to the list.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Yeah, the more recent new games (Avadon and Queen's Wish) seem to have favored ethnic name generators/lists rather than pulling from the names of real or fictional people -- see category 18 in that link. Makes sense that a similar source could be used for town names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
