Near Eastern would sound a bit more authentic, I think...but it's really up to you.

Curubethion, thank you. I think I might even change the name of Ulfang. It's a name from the Silmarillion and I never really liked it. I think I will go search for Near Eastern names. I think it would sound a lot better.

Make some up...as I told Udu, I'd recommend Near Eastern influences. Slightly Arabic sounding, you know...

Hey, Drake, good to see you around!

Here are sites for male and female names:

http://www.sudairy.com/arabic/masc.html
http://www.sudairy.com/arabic/fem.html

Out of respect, I suggest avoiding any names that have religious connotations. There are a lot of just general names, however, that would be good.

Acalewia · 05-07-2006, 08:17 PM

All I have for my Harad character is:
Name: 'Abal
Gender: Female

More later when I have her figured out.

Lady Willow Rose · 05-07-2006, 09:16 PM

It's always nice to inspire people.

Acalewia · 05-07-2006, 09:50 PM

Well, 'Abal won't appear until later in the story as the escort gets closer to where ever Cumaar lived.

Udukhaturz · 05-16-2006, 08:46 PM

I just changed the name of my character Ulfang to Bayhas. Ulfang is an Easterling from the Silmarillion. The name has been used quite a lot and I decided for this roleplay I would find a more regional sounding name, so I picked Bayhas. I hope this won't be an inconvenience to anyone.

Curubethion · 05-16-2006, 09:16 PM

Okay. So, LWR, just edit the name in your post. I think that's the only time anyone besides Udu has used the name Ulfang. I like the new name.

Lady Willow Rose · 05-16-2006, 11:46 PM

All has been edited.

Looks like we're in for a bit of a rumble..

Udukhaturz · 05-17-2006, 12:55 AM

Curubethion, thank you.

Lady Willow Rose, you never know in the desert.

Acalewia · 05-17-2006, 01:21 PM

I thought Bayhas was a herder.

Curubethion · 05-17-2006, 11:39 PM

Who's Bayhas?

This is getting very interesting...

Udukhaturz · 05-18-2006, 04:59 PM

Bayhas (former name: Ulfang) is a nomadic herdsman/occasional raider and robber.

Lady Willow Rose · 05-19-2006, 12:38 AM

He's also the ex-lover of Nessa.

Can I see problems on the horizon?

Acalewia · 05-19-2006, 01:32 PM

LOL. Oh the things Bayhas doesn't know.

Spears and arrows aren't the only weapons we have

This outta be fun

Lady Willow Rose · 05-19-2006, 04:22 PM

Quite right, Acally.

One learns a lot when ones travels.

Acalewia · 05-20-2006, 10:33 AM

Just so you guys know, the only one in the escort who knows Elnar is half-elf is curamir and the only one who knows about his mystical power is Cumaar.
