[QUOTE="Imban, post: 3939019, member: 29206"] I still hate the Golden Wyvern name. (For the record, the Purple Dragon Knights are in the exact same boat with me.) See, one of the first things I thought of when I heard these traditions would be replacing spell schools was "Man, Thay's screwed. Poor Thay." Then I started wondering what the new Zulkirs might be. And I mean, Zulkir of Emerald Frost? Zulkir of the Serpent Eye? (Serpent Eye Zulkir?) Zulkir of the Iron Sigil? Zulkir of the Hidden Flame? Those are all pretty cool. Stormwalker doesn't fit into this pattern well at all, but you can have the Stormwalker Zulkir, sure. And... then I hit Golden Wyvern, and the best-sounding one to me is Golden Wyvern Zulkir, and even that falls kind of flat - sure, the old spell school names were boring and dry, but that neatly avoided them being actively terrible. Five out of six isn't bad, but sadly I'm pretty sure every grouping of the traditions is going to hit 5/6 with these, either because one of the names in question is kind of bad, or because Stormwalker doesn't follow the naming convention of the others.
