==Ramblings== Most (if not all) adventures will be in Human lands - so I'm thinking of using traditional European Gods. There are Norse, Anglo-Saxon and Germanic equivalent languages, so the Gods will be similar in name and possibly pantheon as well - culture & environment shapes language and belief. This being High Fantasy, however, where the Gods actually do exist will change things. I do view the world of WS as being much more religious than even our middle ages. The incidence of more miracles would increase belief, and counteract the predictability of miracles (I think the randomness of miracles in our history has actually helped create mystery around the religions and helps their recruitment process. A bit like the lottery). Now, I just need to look up lists of names. One thing I don't like in fantasy settings, are gobbledegook names. I like names to look like they have a culture or language behind them - not names that look like random syllables stuck together with the odd apostrophe to annoy. The Turakian Age does this. The Elvish names for tribes are especially woeful.
