hkokko Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Where do you draw your inspiration for the Haragalan people names. More from Polynesian tradition or Japanese... Looking for a large body of names to use - so real world similarities for names would be useful...

metcalph Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 You could use indonesian/malaysian names as it could be based on Srivijaya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srivijaya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joerg Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Looking at the names we have (the island god, place names), the language seems to prefer names with lots of short, often open syllables. The Polynesian names I am aware of seem to fit that bill. Aztec names have more closed syllables, but still are quite polysyllabic, and might provide some inspiration for more closed syllables. It is a pity that the river names for Haragala are illegible in the pdfs - the map in AAA has a slightly better resolution, but e.g. the river passing Nemalipaya doesn't get legible at 400% magnification (where pixellation really begins).

Ian Cooper Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I tend to go with Indonesia for Haragla (Java and Bali particularly), with Polynesia the smaller islands of the East Isles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkokko Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 It seems that the most popular Indonesian male name now is Kevin. From another list - abdul. hmmm - I might need second or even third source for indonesian names 1 Quote My Glorantha/Mythras blog with Glorantha Cult One-pagers and Mythras Encounter Tool updates and Mythras GM Charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
