[QUOTE="spyscribe, post: 1541202, member: 5808"] As usual, I'll let Fajitas take major world questions, but not before I throw in my two cents. ;) Poor Paris. He spent his first 30 seconds of in-game life as "Lt. Paris"... until Fajitas figured out why I was looking at him so oddly, at which point he was summarily and retroactively demoted. Keep in mind, every city state and region in the Halmae has its own naming conventions. Paris does make sense if you figure out what thematic link it has with names of other Noranians the party meets--Amiens and Benedic. It's not mentioned in the write up, but Lira also had a brief chat with a local sorcerer named Cassio. As for Moira, I was just asking Fajitas about her last name the other night, so I'll let him provide illumination on that score. I actually think the logic behind it is pretty cool. Shrug. Not to be flip, but what should we call it, tongo? The big thing that hangs in the sky and gives light during the day is the sun, the green stuff that grows beside the road is called grass, and the game where you bet money on whether your hand of cards is worth more than the next guy's is called poker. If loosing meant you turned into an iguana, it would probably have a different name. We were all pretty amused too. :) Glad you're enjoying the story. [/QUOTE]
