Last call - need names for War of the Burning Sky

[RangerWickett]

I am writing the final adventure for War of the Burning Sky, and I figured I'd give people a chance to slip in some cool names as an Easter Egg of sorts. I need names for three generals of the Ragesian Empire. The Ragesian naming style is vaguely Roman (lots of -us, -ax, and -ar names), but with all the fine fantasy tradition of being wholly made up.

I need one general who is a cavalry commander and mounted archer.

Another is a cleric devoted to antimagic who controls a lot of undead.

The third is in charge of the fantasy warfare equivalent of the German defenses at Omaha Beach. It's a killing zone, and he's good at setting up deadly traps and ambushes.

If people come up with some cool names (and potentially a personality gimmick or the like), I'll put them into the adventure. The villains are honestly fairly disposable (it's the final adventure, and to 20th level heroes even generals ain't nothing too major), but I thought this would be a fun way to throw in some unusual spice.

Do I reply in this thread? If so, here's one:

I had an arrogant, aristocratic necromancer named Euserius de Fiaba, who talked down to everyone and firmly believed that he was a superior being. He also had an undead servant named Garron who he delegated all menial physical tasks to (including stuff like wiping the sweat off of his brow).

Whenever his servant wasn't around, he complained incessantly about everything (even more than usual) and how everything he had to do wasn't befitting his station, etc.

At least, that was the plan. I never really got to play him, so I'm not sure what kind of adventures he could've gotten into. But if you include him, maybe he'll finally get to see some action (before someone kills him?)!

 

[RangerWickett]

Yeah, that's great!

Oh, and for the mounted archer, his horse needs a name too. (Preferably not Incitatus, though.)

I'll give it a shot.

First: Karbanax
Second: Ameritus
Third: Faelius

As for the horse, is Agronax out of the question?

Titus Pollo and Lucius Vorenus should be in it. (HBO Rome characters) Maybe with a slight variation to avoid legal problems and making it less obvious. (maybe Titus Vorenus and Lucius Pollo?)

I'd prefer not to steal from HBO.

 

[Altamont Ravenard]

I need one general who is a cavalry commander and mounted archer.

Mazina the Bold, fearless rider and reputedly descendant of a long-lost female tribe chieftain. Her shrill screams fill the air when she leads a charge on Phaelax her trusty steed, and beds the warrior who distinguished himself the most of the battlefield.

Another is a cleric devoted to antimagic who controls a lot of undead.

Thanatar Fili, a tall, gaunt fellow, with eyes as deep-set as they are clear. Still relatively young, he nevertheless has thinning, grey-streaked hair. Seemingly always on the verge of exhaustion, he speaks softly and starts almost every sentence with a long sigh.

The third is in charge of the fantasy warfare equivalent of the German defenses at Omaha Beach. It's a killing zone, and he's good at setting up deadly traps and ambushes.

Atroyus Panatax revels in the brutality of his position. Barrel-chested and bearded, he cannot help but smile wickedly when concocting ambushes, and bunches his jaw and tightens his fists when he is distracted from his principal occupation. He joins in the violence and likes to finish off enemies by strangling them with his bare hands.

Pullo and Vorenus were both as real as Caesar, so have at it.
