Hi folks, I'd like to introduce you to my short book, ‘Oberon’s Onomasticon: The Origin of Proper Names found in Dungeons & Dragons.’’ Its purpose is to explain the derivations of names of monsters, places, classes and characters as they appear in D&D.
The blurb:
Have you ever wondered if the words dwarf and duergar are related, etymologically? What if I told you that the words Oberon and elf shared a common ancestor? Or that the name of the Barlgura came about due to a spelling error?
Within these pages you will find the etymologies and derivations of the names of monsters, places and people from D&D 5e that will fascinate and surprise you. Discover the linguistic connections and origins of familiar and obscure names and gain a deeper understanding of the rich world-building behind the game. Whether you are a seasoned player or a curious newcomer, this book will enrich your experience of Dungeons and Dragons and ignite your imagination.
Hope you enjoy it,
Jake
