Character name

[Ishtar]

Hello,

I have a character named: Bael of Ruathym.

I have read the name rules and as I understand it, this name is not breaking the naming rules.

I understand that titles are not allowed... eg: joe the thief.

However Bael of Ruathym is like joe of Beregost...

It is not a title... it is a place that he is from...

Please can you clarify this? Am I allowed to use this name?

Such a name would be considered a description, as it describes where the man is from.

[quote"Rules"]And finally, please use a name rather than a description (like "Big Man" or "Larry the Wizard") for your character.[/quote]

It is slightly on the edge, though, but it's still a description. I suggest naming yourself Bael, and when roleplaying, nothing prevents you to say "I am Bael of Ruathym."

Do like we do for the Greyfox Tribe of barbarians. <Firstsname> Greyfox, for the "name tag". But IC introductions will be "<Firstname>, <title> of the Greyfox Tribe" (more or less). Where <title> is can be Warrior, Skald, etc. as appropriate.

For what it's worth, I think it's a great name. I hope you get to keep it

Or you could do add a prefix which implies 'of' or from like Hernando >De< Soto , means Hernando of Soto just use it as a last name.
