I've not said anything because I'm really awful when it comes to names.

I have been incredibly busy.
Part of it is, though, that it can be incredibly tempting to just check out the threads that you've already participated in because there is that nice handy button up at the top right.
Yes, I remember the geomancing pangolins. I found the idea of light and stone magic manifesting in the ability to imbue different precious(ish) gems with magic of varying types to be fascinating.
As for names: Zong is good. I immediately thought Zhon after reading that, but you don't want to get sued by Cavedog, so...
Tekmar? Martek?
Lukovir? Lukomir?
What type of culture were we considering for the Pangolins again?

Alright, name time, you bad mother hubbards!
Water nomads- Meng
Blood sharing sloths- Trakatek
Geomancing pangolins- Goorah.
I am thinking of basing the pangolins religion on aboriginal australian beliefs. A lot of their stuff relates to mythic figures and beings that shaped the once featureless domain. So a mountain range was made by a giant sleeping, that kind of thing. They have different myths for each major geographic feature. This would seem to fit a races that specialises in geomancy.

All good, except for Goorah, because, well... I'm going to imagine the Meng speaking with Mexican accents, but that's a problem with me, not the name.

I dunno, I have kind of reached the view that all fantasy names sound like something funny to somebody.
What about Gooran?

Sure, but not all names sound like Marine Corps battle cry.
Gooran works for me.

Hrrm... I dunno if I'm gonna come up with anything properly...Harkovast-y, but I can give it a shot. Death&Life Sloths...Vitaslow? (Maybe better as replacement Lukovic name...) White Sea Nomads...Gywins? Gywais? Gywails? Earthmasta Pangols...Golwok? Luko renames...Who are these guys again?
EDIT: AND THIS IS WHY YOU CHECK HOW MANY PAGES A THREAD HAS BEFORE POSTING >_<

Do the Meng have teeth? I don't think Pangolins do, they swallow stones, like birds. The females also carry their young on their tails. I don't expect the Meng to do that, but I feel like posting pangolins.

zeaelix I feel your pain. I do that all the time.
Do people prefer Zong or Meng? Either way they have teeth.

Okay.
How about Zhong? It's about time we saw a "zh".

Good point. Zhong it is.

Would everyone be okay with a change of Lukovic to Lukorg?

Post by Horsie on Feb 7, 2015 1:03:28 GMT
No, not quite so keen on that.

Damn it, you can't please all the people all the time! I was this close to finishing my updated chart of magic!
What about Lukovir? (Canuovea's suggestion.)

That works.
