“The Madame Count­ess Fio­ra Matilde Philli­pa Gen­eve, Suzerain of Leah,” declared the Court Mar­shal. A spot of applause. The bead-eyed Count­ess strolled past him, fol­lowed by tit­ter­ing retain­ers.

Across the ball­room, Erin stared at the Mar­shal, frown­ing. “Aun­tie, does he know every­one’s name?” she said. “He does­n’t have notes, or any­thing?”

“No notes, dear. It’s his job,” replied Aun­tie.

“South­ern­ers have such awful­ly long names,” said Erin.

“The Count­ess Gen­eve isn’t a South­ern­er, dear. Leah’s in the Mid­dle King­doms. You could tell by that dread­ful boy’s hair­cut of hers, even with­out the name.”

“Good­ness,” Erin mum­bled into her wine. She con­tin­ued star­ing. Through the ball­room’s entry­way, a par­ty of men in grey uni­forms strut­ted, laugh­ing. Their coats were sewn with artic­u­lat­ed spaul­ders, and dec­o­ra­tive open­work breast­plates lay over their crisp shirts. The gleam of two dozen gold­en chan­de­liers glit­tered on the pol­ished steel.

“Señor Com­man­dant Niclao Nuflo Leon de Car­ro e Tevil­la te Tor­drid,” said the wind­ed Mar­shal, strug­gling to enun­ci­ate the last name with his remain­ing breath. The Com­man­dant curled his thin mus­tache in a smile, passed a guilder to the Mar­shal. A tip. Erin gig­gled, near­ly spilled red wine on her pow­der blue blouse.

“That was a South­ern­er,” said Aun­tie, nod­ding her grey head at the Com­man­dant.

“Do they usu­al­ly wear such tight trousers?” said Erin, gog­gling.

“The Army men, some­times. Watch out for that one. He’s sin­gle.”

“Oh,” said Erin. Across the ball­room, the South­ern sol­dier noticed her stare. He smirked at her. Erin quick­ly looked away.

“Do pay atten­tion, dear,” scold­ed Aun­tie, squint­ing at the entry­way.

A par­ty had appeared below the arch. Courtiers in black suits accent­ed with gold thread, and Marine Guard in navy and black pip­ing with white sash­es. Amidst them stood a com­pact woman, black of hair, in a black mink and tapered gold­en suit. A gold­en chain set with dia­monds glit­tered on her brow: a styl­ized crown.

“Mas­ters, Messieurs, Señori,” bel­lowed the Court Mar­shal. “May I present Emper­ess Avecin Miriellen Jajaves des Fer­onus, e Maples te San Car­ro, the Crowned Lord and Queen Imper­a­tor of Empereaux, its Sov­er­eign Islands, and the Emper­oussin Domin­ion.” He snapped his heels, salut­ed. “Viva Vic­to­ria!”

“Viva Vic­to­ria!” cried the ball­room. An applause of three hun­dred hands echoed in the cav­ernous space below the chan­de­liers. The Emper­ess in gold bared her small, sharp teeth, waved.

“Good­ness,” said Erin.

“She used to be a mem­ber of the old Alagóran Court and Emper­ess. When she refused to acknowl­edge the returned Aveth as God Imper­a­tor, they declared her an apos­tate, and–”

“And the new Court wants her blood. Noth­ing they can do about it here, though,” said a man. I twas the Alagóran Com­man­dant, smil­ing. In his tight pants and pen­cil mous­tache. He had appeared quite sud­den­ly.

“Oh! Señor Com­man­dant,” said Aun­tie, flus­tered. “I did not see you. Plea­sure to meet again. Allow me to intro­duce Erin of Grey, Heir to the Earl­ship of the Bay of Grey.”

“Encan­ta­da de cono­cer­la, Seño­ra de Grey,” said the still-smil­ing Alagóran, bow­ing. His thin mus­tache squirmed above crin­kled, full lips.

“A plea­sure, Com­man­dant Nico­lao,” said Erin. At this, Aun­tie flinched. Her cheeks flushed. The Com­man­dant raised an eye­brow, grinned.

“Though I must con­tin­ue to min­gle, I look for­ward to speak­ing with you at din­ner, Erin. We have been seat­ed togeth­er,” he said, hold­ing his eyes on hers. She swal­lowed, con­fused. He turned on his heel, still smil­ing.

They watched him go. Aun­tie puck­ered her lips. “Bloody hell, Erin.” Erin frowned at her Aun­t’s flushed face.

“What did I do? What’s the mat­ter, Aun­tie?”

“You addressed him by his first name. I thought you knew bet­ter.”

“That’s bad?”

“Well, I would­n’t say ‘bad,’ but it was extreme­ly for­ward.”

Star­tled, Erin glanced across the ball­room to the Com­man­dant. He was speak­ing to the Suzerain of Leah, but kept pass­ing glances back at her. She blushed.

“Good­ness,” said Erin.

“If you sur­vive this din­ner with­out dying of embar­rass­ment,” said Aun­tie. “We must get you a tutor versed in the com­plex­i­ties of names!”

Names

On the Coast, a per­son­’s name car­ries a host of infor­ma­tion. It may describe lin­eage, loy­al­ty, loca­tion, or any man­ner of sig­nif­i­cant ideas. Below are the pri­ma­ry cus­toms asso­ci­at­ed with each of the Coast’s three major nations.

Firlund

• In for­mal sit­u­a­tions, a per­son must be addressed by their title or sur­name (whichev­er is most promi­nent) unless pref­er­ence admits oth­er­wise. If title or name are unknown, a per­son may be ref­er­eed to as Mas­ter. Titles are always gen­der neu­tral. 
• If a per­son­’s title is unknown, but is sus­pect­ed of being more impres­sive than one’s own, the per­son should be addressed as Ser. This is a rel­ic of knight­ly tra­di­tions. 
• Occu­pa­tion­al titles are omit­ted if a person’s sur­name match­es their job. For instance, a smith named Smith may be referred to as Mas­ter Smith. 

Fore­name 

• North­ern fore­names nev­er end with an [a] vow­el sound. Such names are incred­i­ble bad luck, and are thought to draw the wrath of ælves. 
• Fore­names may be used with per­mis­sion, and nick­names are used only by the clos­est of friends. 

Sur­name

• A fam­i­ly name. Com­mon Firl­ish sur­names are fre­quent­ly occu­pa­tion­al. Fam­i­lies of high­er birth car­ry descrip­tive or toponymic sur­names.

Byname 

• A third, toponymic name. Bynames describe the place from which a per­son hails. Bynames may be omit­ted out­side of intro­duc­to­ry, for­eign, or for­mal cir­cum­stances For instance, Rory Corder of Sorele or Ser Mal­tise of Down 
• Nobles may pos­sess mul­ti­ple bynames, depend­ing on their hold­ings and lin­eage. Only the most pres­ti­gious name is usu­al­ly used. For instance, Earl Whil­helm of the Grey Bay and Dunar­row may sim­ply be called The Earl of Grey. Indi­vid­u­als of suf­fi­cient rank may be known by their bare byname. For instance, the afore­men­tioned Earl may be addressed sim­ply as Grey, espe­cial­ly among fel­low aris­to­crats. 

Address

• It is appro­pri­ate to include a per­son­’s title, sur­name, and byname when writ­ing to them and upon intro­duc­tion. Fore­names are option­al. They are includ­ed if a fam­i­ly mem­ber or per­son of iden­ti­cal name is present. 
• In the case that fam­i­ly are present, it is advis­able to address the junior par­ty as “Young Mas­ter.” 
• In a for­mal set­ting, indi­vid­u­als are addressed by their title and sur­name (or byname, in some cas­es among the peer­age.) 
• In a pro­fes­sion­al set­ting, sur­names are used by cowork­ers. 
• Fore­names are used only in close com­pa­ny. 

Empereaux

Hon­orif­ic

• In nor­mal, polite usage (or if a person’s title is unknown,) a person’s title is pre­ced­ed by the Messieur (my mas­ter) hon­orif­ic. Mon­sieur is the mas­cu­line form, where­as Madame is the fem­i­nine. Messieur is used only as a gen­er­al plur­al (Messieurs) or by the pref­er­ence of the addressed per­son.
• Use of an hon­orif­ic is a sim­ple way to be polite or show added respect, in Empereaux. 

Title

• In nor­mal con­ver­sa­tion, it is appro­pri­ate to address an indi­vid­ual sim­ply by their title. 
• Upon intro­duc­tion, when being espe­cial­ly polite, or when address­ing some­one specif­i­cal­ly, it is appro­pri­ate to use both a person’s title and an hon­orif­ic. Exam­ple: “Good to make your acquain­tance, Mon­sieur le May­or” 

Fore­names

• Emper­oussins pos­sess up to three giv­en names (more than three is con­sid­ered to be poor taste.) It is impo­lite to address a per­son by any of these names with­out per­mis­sion. 
• When a child is born, a meet­ing (known as a nom­e­nais­sion) is held by friends and rela­tions to decide the infan­t’s names. With com­mon­ers, this debate is a par­ty; a time of cel­e­bra­tion, bond­ing, and remem­brance of the dead. In high soci­ety, a nom­e­nais­sion is a debate. All manor of per­son­al dra­ma, polit­i­cal pacts, and finan­cial arrange­ments may depend on whom the child is named for. 
• Fore­names are list­ed in full only in the most solemn or impor­tant of sit­u­a­tions. For exam­ple: when being announced at court. 

Sur­name

• Sur­names are usu­al­ly occu­pa­tion­al, descrip­tive, or toponymic. When used with­out a title or hon­orif­ic, they are deemed a more per­son­al mode of address. Cowork­ers will address each oth­er by their sur­names. 
• Dur­ing a child’s nom­e­nais­sion, their sur­name is also decid­ed. They will receive either their father or moth­er’s sur­name, or the name of the moth­er’s moth­er (this is tra­di­tion­al.) 
• Sur­name’s may change via mar­riage. Usu­al­ly, it is deemed appro­pri­ate to take a per­son­’s sur­name if they ask for your hand in mar­riage. Thus, the per­son who posits the ques­tion asks their fiance to share their sur­name. 

Address 

• It is appro­pri­ate to include a per­son­’s hon­orif­ic, title, sur­name, and first byname when writ­ing to them and upon intro­duc­tion. For instance: Madame Doc­teur Ace­line Aubrie Estee Sansspoir. 
• In a for­mal sit­u­a­tion, it is appro­pri­ate to address a per­son by their title/honorific and sur­name, or by their hon­orif­ic and title (this is most respect­ful.) Doc­teur Sansspoir. 
• In pro­fes­sion­al cir­cum­stances, it is appro­pri­ate to use either a per­son­’s title or sur­name. 
• In per­son­al, friend­ly inter­ac­tion, an Emper­oussin might be addressed by their favored fore­name. 

Alagór

Hon­orif­ic 

• The Lord or Lady (Señor, Seño­ra, or the gen­der-neu­tral Señori) hon­orif­ic is appro­pri­ate when address­ing an indi­vid­ual of high­er rank but of unknown title, or as an addi­tion when extra respect is desired. 

Title

• Alagóran nobles may pos­sess mul­ti­ple titles. It is cor­rect to use all titles which a per­son pos­sess­es when address­ing them, unless one’s sta­tion is equal to theirs. Only the most chief title, how­ev­er, pre­cedes the person’s sur­name. Lat­er titles are attach­ments. For instance: Prin­cepal­to Hor­a­tio Car­avag­gio Aus­to­rio, Primero de Saramori e Tandón, Secu­tor de Castile Bennedet­to 

Fore­name

• Alagórans hold a sin­gle giv­en name. Usu­al­ly, this name is select­ed from the ranks of great ances­tors. It is incred­i­bly bad luck to take the name of a liv­ing ances­tor, as it is believed that mis­for­tune meant for the elder fam­i­ly mem­ber will befall the younger one instead. Addi­tion­al­ly, it is taboo to hold the name of a saint. 
• It is only appro­pri­ate to use an Alagóran’s fore­name if they are your express friend. Doing oth­er­wise may be seen as a chal­lenge, or as a not-so-sub­tle roman­tic pass. 

Sur­names 

• Every Alagóran has two sur­names: one from their father (apel­li­do pater­no), one from their moth­er (apel­li­do mater­na.) These are list­ed after their giv­en names. The mother’s name is list­ed first, becom­ing the indi­vid­u­al’s sur­name of address, unless the father held a more impres­sive sta­tion or hold­ings. 
• Usu­al­ly, sur­name inher­i­tance works thus­ly: a child inher­its their first sur­name from their father’s father, and their sec­ond sur­name from their mother’s moth­er. 
• Only in rather tra­di­tion­al mar­riages do Alagórans change one of their sur­names. Usu­al­ly, the younger indi­vid­ual replaces their sec­ond name with that of their fiance. 

Byname/s 

• Byname’s (apo­dos) mark both a per­son­’s place of birth, their cur­rent res­i­dence, or the lands attached to a noble title. Thus, an Alagóran may have two, three, or more bynames. The first byname (ori­gionale) in a per­son­’s name is their place of birth, the sec­ond (secun­do) is their cur­rent res­i­dence, and the last (reinar) describes their hold­ings, if any. 

Address

• A per­son­’s full name, includ­ing hon­orif­ic, title, fore­name, sur­names, and bynames must be used when writ­ing and upon intro­duc­tion. 
• For­mal sit­u­a­tions require that a per­son be addressed by their sur­name, usu­al­ly accom­pa­nied by a title and/or hon­orif­ic. The same goes for pro­fes­sion­al sit­u­a­tions. 
• In per­son­al life, Alagórans go by their first names or by any num­ber of nick­names and diminu­tives. Usu­al­ly, indi­vid­ual diminu­tive vari­ants of their name exist sole­ly for use by cer­tain old­er fam­i­ly mem­bers.

Name Generation

Use these tables to gen­er­ate  char­ac­ter names. Roll, or sim­ply pick.

Tables cur­rent­ly include Firl­ish, Emper­oussin, and Alagóran-speak­ing names. Future inclu­sions will be: Lothrsprech, Adaleut,  and Mapoli­tan. 

Firlish Names

Names for those with cul­ture and her­itage orig­i­nat­ing in Fir­lund, Awn, and much of north­ern Lothrheim. 

North­erns hold a fore­name, a sur­name, and a byname. When gen­er­at­ing ran­dom names, roll to pro­duce one of each. You may use the d20 tables below to include Awnish or for­eign names.

Awnish, the lin­guis­tic root of mod­ern Firl­ish, while rarely spo­ken, still fea­tures in today’s names, as do occa­sion­al for­eign-lan­guage names. North­ern­ers bear names of neu­tral gen­der more often than oth­er cul­tur­al groups. North­ern super­sti­tion requires that fore­names nev­er end in the let­ter A.

Ran­dom fore­names (d20):

• 1 – 6: Awnish name.
• 7 – 14: Firl­ish name.
• 15 – 17: Firl­ish neu­tral name
• 18 – 19: Emper­oussin name.
• 20: Alago­ri­an Name. Reroll any end­ing in [a].

Ran­dom sur­names (d20):

• 1–14: Firl­ish Sur­name
• 15–18: Awnish Sur­name.
• 19 – 20: Emper­oussin Sur­name.

Alagóran Names

Alagóran is derived from Vul­gar Norin, which itself grew from the dead tongue of the Ancient Nor. It is spo­ken through­out the Litoral South, in Cimar­ron and Alagór, lands once host to the Ancient Nor’s pow­er, by a native folk who often  con­sid­er them­selves direct descents of the enlight­ened ancients. 

Alagóran speak­ers rarely choose names out­side their own lin­guis­tic purview, both for their pride in Nor her­itage, and for a cer­tain aes­thet­ic pride in the flow of  their tra­di­tion­al­ly pro­tract­ed sequence of sur­names

Name generation

Alagóran speak­ers usu­al­ly have but a sin­gle fore­name:

Ran­dom fore­names (d20):

• 1–18: Alagóran name.
• 19–20: Emper­oussin name.

But they have at least two sur­names: One from each par­ent. A child inher­its their first sur­name from their father’s father, and their sec­ond sur­name from their mother’s moth­er. They may receive addi­tion­al sur­names if one of their grand­par­ents was excep­tion­al­ly impor­tant. 

These sur­names must be declined depend­ing on the owner’s gen­der, receiv­ing a gen­dered suf­fix Men receive the [o] sound, women [a].

Mouse Names

Mice, most often in the North, dis­play a sin­gu­lar nam­ing con­ven­tion. They hold unique fam­i­ly names derived from their his­tor­i­cal ori­gin in the North.

The fol­low­ing names are appro­pri­ate alter­na­tives for sur­names, in mice, regard­less of nation.

Mice are by no means lim­it­ed to these names, espe­cial­ly in the Litoral South.

Names end­ing in “mus” may alter­nate­ly be spelled “mouse.” Mice are entire­ly aware of this irony, but do not rec­og­nize it.
