Genre of [name_u]Story[/name_u]: [name_f]Fantasy[/name_f] Adventure
Time Period/Location: Two countries: Vineland, a dominant nation divided in half by a mountain range, rainforest on one side and desert on the other; and Fulsur, a mountainous and slightly volcanic peninsula currently occupied by Vineland. Fulsur is on the verge of a revolution against Vineland.
Technology is pre-industrial revolution. Like, there’s guns and printing presses, but they’re still kind of old-fashioned.
Brief Plot: Here’s my vague summary blurb:
“She set out across the ocean for the adventure of a lifetime and got exactly what she wanted — but in a way she never expected.
On their first day on a new continent, their own having been isolated for five hundred years, Sonam and her friend [name_f]Nelia[/name_f] meet a princess and are kidnapped. It’s not the arrival anyone expected, but they soon discover that this is only the start of a deep conspiracy surrounding a rebel liberation movement, and with the princess and the son of a rebel leader as new friends in this foreign land, their involvement is inevitable. Sonam narrowly missed war once, but this time, she finds herself at the very center.”
This is a sequel/spin-off for a previous story.
What are the naming laws: I have no idea! I had a good system in place where Sonam and [name_f]Nelia[/name_f] came from, but with this one, I’m just winging it so far. I guess these two nations are kind of European-esque in their naming traditions. Here are the three main characters I’ve named so far:
[name_f]Amalie[/name_f] (Vineland, f)
[name_m]Kellan[/name_m] (Fulsur, m)
Corala (Vineland, f)
What I Need: I need some names for family members and minor characters from both nations, so this is really just a request for brainstorming help based on what I already have. Naming styles are pretty similar due to the two areas’ political and cultural ties. [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to make stuff up. I just need inspiration. Let me see what you can come up with! Go!
