      Yeah, thanks for your help. I really wish KP had more (or any really) articles on plotting.

            No, I haven’t. I guess I’ll take a look.

              @everyone

              One thing I could use some help on is the linguistics for this world. If this isn’t your area of expertise, feel free to ignore this. I know that at least @thearcaneaxiom is interested in this topic.

              I have a rather gigantic list of essentially just names. I’ll paste them in here:

              Erinyes

              Amos
              Kelimar
              Selren
              Loldin
              Varlo
              Rodlin
              Deleden
              Ellius
              Alard
              Andrion
              Cadmus
              Talbot
              Ridril
              Berolt

              Selius
              Denemar
              Millina
              Diana

              (These come from my large geneology of the Eìvir lines.) Additionally, I’ll throw in a few more names:

              Edward

              Dalton

              Eojold

              Atmor

              Percaro

              Kaulo

              Secrivis

              Paligen

              Thulac

              Vaminin

              Eìdershon

              So, basically, I’m wondering if this seems like cohesive linguistics. Please point out any names that don’t seem to fit. Another question I have relates to the real-life names I have mixed in here. What do you think about that? What I’ve already done in some cases is have nickname that is the same as a real-life name, but the full version is different. For example, ‘Kate’ is short for ‘Katilia’ and not one of the several full versions of that name in real life. Similarly, ‘Milli” is short for ‘Millina’, instead of ‘Millicent’ or ‘Mildred.’

              You’ll also notice that the first several names are from Greek mythology. That is intentional but do feel free to point out if you think any of them don’t fit.

              Lastly, just as a note, it is a tradition for the king of Arvendor to have a name starting with ‘D.’ That’s why over a ninth of the names start with that letter.

                I mostly skimmed it, but the only name I thought seemed kind of out of place was ‘Dominic’. To me, when I hear that name, I think of some punk rebel teenager riding a skateboard, as well as Domino’s Pizza, neither of which are good connections.

                Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.

                  Hmm… I didn’t think that was particularly out of place. I would guess it originated from Roman times or something. Let me see…

                  It is latin, but it seems that it was actually from the Middle Ages, which means it fits even better.

                    Although I guess Latin doesn’t belong in this world…

                        I’d love to fill out this geneology completely, but that’s not gonna happen. I calculated that to cover the 20,000 years from the founding of the Eivir to the time that this story is set would require 500 generations, which is assuming that each person was an Eivir for 40 years before passing it on, which is most likely nowhere near average.

                          I tried to make a genealogy, once, just for fun. Everyone ended up being related lol.

                                  Technically in a genealogy, everyone is related. Everyone is the child of the previous person. How exactly did you end up there?

                                  Mine is technically nine genealogies in one, so not everyone on there is related.
