[QUOTE="Jolmo, post: 1804430, member: 14908"] First, the reason Cagthail is in Dromus: Naerbak Haigwys. This highborn noble took an instant dislike to the "inadequately subservient country-noble" Cagthail when first he arrived to the accademy. Of equal age and equal skill through all their training, with an enmity growing ever deeper, it is no wonder that many duels were fought between them. Some were won by Naerbak, but Cagthail did win most. For some time recently, Cagthail had not heard of Naerbak. Then, as news for many, came rumors that he was in Dromus, making a name for himself in this other plane. When Cagthail found out, he decided almost immediately that he wouldn't be bested and prepared to set out for Dromus himself. -- Second, city names: Cagthail's last name, Minaesbart, is also the name of his birthtown and means Minefort. Building on this idea of just twisting names a little some suggestions are: Haigtom - Hightown Kaet Pahn - City (of the) plain Ghathal - Greathall Parlhaid - Portalshold Pick one of them, mix them with each other, twist another name, or just use some other idea. :) Btw, Caeldwyste could have been made from something like Coldwinter by this method. Coincidence? ;) Another, unrelated, suggestion would be 'Caelt' based on the planes name. Or perhaps have two cities of similar importance named Caeld and Wyste. [/QUOTE]
