January 17, 2018 at 3:18 pm #60489@warrioroftherealm I love making up words! (For instance, the character name topic I started.) How about smogis, longofay, caheloma, or jonjuke? What type of culture is it? That might have bearing on what kind of sounds they use in their language.

January 17, 2018 at 3:30 pm #60491Believe it or not, it’s for a medieval fantasy in a territory similar in language to norse/viking culture.
I like Caspin root!
January 17, 2018 at 3:42 pm #60493@warrioroftherealm Well, it seems to me that in medieval Norse/viking culture they used a lot of v’s, o’s, and k’s. In England (their main adversary) at the same time, there was a lot of use of the letters “ae” and “th” together, as well as a great many d’s and l’s.
Sorry if this is way to technical. I am very detailed when it comes to historical accuracy, but I realize that there is no need for historical accuracy in fantasy. 🙂 Especially when it doesn’t even take place in the same timeline/world.
By the way, I LOVE the vikings. (Actually, that didn’t come out right. Vikings were generally bad people. But you know what I mean.)

January 17, 2018 at 7:58 pm #60520@warrioroftherealm Some could be named after the people who discovered them (Harry’s grass, Darcy’s Tears, Will petals), where they are found (mountain mossroot, cliff sunrise), intresting features (twenty leafed poppy), or its use (itch vine, waking breath, trance[its flower can knock you out in high quantities])

Kraken’s eye
Glory rose
Skull berries (they could have little white parts that look kinda like skulls…But they are helpful)
