What do you do for Thonian Names? I don't like the lists of names provided for Common Thonians or High Thonians in the source book. What I have done in many cases is take elements from the list, but change the names to make them sound more like old Anglo Saxon names. Of course, I see the Thonian Empire as a conglomerate of many cultures, so many different names may be used there.

Arthurian stuff + Tolkien-ish stuff + established D&D linguistics

As I (perhaps not erroneously) thought there might be a relationship between the words Afridhi and Peshwa and those of the Northwest Frontier (of Afghanistan), tribal Afghani names may not be inappropriate. Most tribal/clan names have the suffix "Khel", so that would be an option. has proven most helpful in my 19th c. NWF wargaming campaign (using The Sword and the Flame).

As for the names of figures in Blackmoor and environs, I would venture to employ Old English names or older German names.

As for the Skandaharians...that should be easy. :)
