Guest Guest Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 They're nice words, but they can't really have Tolkien stuff in the Forgotten Realms setting can they? If what you are getting at is something like calling a weapon "Sword of Guruth" then it could have some sort of double meaning, as in you invent some previous wielder named Guruth that was strongly associated with the death of people/things, then yeah. Some of those words might be good names for NPCs too. Link to comment
Ellderon Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 This is for the neas of weapons... It's nice for them to have some hidden meaning.. Like Feaglos +2 (Tip/horn/peak of fire) ...maby I should change that to Aeglos (Tip/horn/peak of Ice) Link to comment
Domi Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Actually it is still Quenya in FR, iirc, at least judging from small bits and pieces you see in FR books. F.ex: Quessir is quenya (from speach, compare to Quenta Silmarillion, Quenya), mellon, elenea etc. Even some names are borrowed from Tolkien (f.ex Elbereth in Salvatore's C. Quintet) Link to comment
BigRob Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 AD&D is essentially Middle Earth with a different skin. There's a lot of extra stuff piled up on top of it, but Middle Earth was where it began. Good list of words too. Link to comment
Mahault Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 If I ever have a child I will name him Gor'gond. Thanks for the inspiration! Link to comment
