Name Generator, Sampling

"The men amongst us must live and dress as women, as well as work in the professions we employ ourselves in. You will be put through a trial period where you must first learn the ways of women. ONLY after passing through this period will you be allowed to train as a Witch and receive the Master's Touch."
-Afya the Witch, addressing a group of male Aspirant-Witches

The Imperatrix, Peaceful Conqueror of Nod
Below is a quick example of the name generator I will include with the playtest. This generates a name appropriate for Characters from either the Westman or Hassan cultures. I have a conference this weekend, but plan on posting something soon on the Thief Class for Sophia's Children. Stay tuned!

Names: Roll 1d20 on the following table and select your name based on your selected Gender and Race.
Surnames, Hassan Characters: Roll 1d20 for the Male Patriarch name. Add the prefix "Al-" to this name. E.G.: Qamar Al-Hafid.
Surnames, Westman Characters: Roll 1d20. If an Odd number, use the indicated Female Westman name. If an Even number, use the indicated Male Westman name. Surnames of this kind are appended after the First Name with a  comma and "Get of." E.G.: Astrid, Get of Gideon.

Note: There are several other systems for generating Surnames, Street Names, Baron-House Names et cetera. But this is just a small example of the system that will be included as part of the Character Creation System.
