Hi all,

So, I play on an RP server (I know, I know), and I'm trying to pick an appropriate surname for my Shadow Warrior. Since being from Nagarythe is sort of central to her emo-tastic vengeance-demanding identity, I feel like I could keep it simple and make her surname (which she would probably have chosen herself) something regional.

Like John Southlander or Mary Magdalene or whatever.

But what would an adjectival from of Nagarythe be? Nagarythi? Nagarythine?
Is Nagarythine a word?

My guess would be Nagarythian (Chracian, Avelornian, Sapherian etc.), though SW probably refer to themselves as 'Nagarathi(i)' or simply 'Malteeras' which means 'People of the Northern Reaches' in Eltharin.

As far as epithets (surnames would have to be in elvish!) are concerned I would opt for less sinister variants of those used by DE because they are such close kin. Names that reflect sorrow, vengeance and the goddess Lileath are bound to be popular:

Moonbow
Coldember
Pathfletcher
Warseeker
Tearwolf
Banefinder

If you really want to get fancy HE names follow a set pattern:

First Name 'Epithet' of (te tuin) Family/Clan from (ut) Settlement of Origin

For example: Lidirnath 'Moonbow' te tuin Tinaan ut Tor Anlec

Since it's a Shadow Warrior "Pwn Puppy" would work. "Skid Mark", "Speed Bump", "Mercy Kill", "Target Dummy" and "Bloodspatter" work too.

:P

And if CSR asks you to change it, point out to them that it is in the role playing feeling since thats all you are :) (I also play a SW, and its appalling for the WAR online version in comparison to the WFB/Mordhiem/WFRP versions)
