RE: Au Ra Naming Conventions - Manari - 06-18-2015
Haha, wow. Au Ra lore is awesome. Now we will have hundreds of Seekers AND Xaela that have all abandoned their tribal ways IC.

Some tribes actually dwell in cities though, so that's cool for those 'I was raised in a city' folk.

I think this is a good excuse for a Xaela to have a name that isn't part of the main lore. Which is completely alright, but yes, as you say, there will probably be alot of people doing this, so it wouldn't be very unique.
RE: Au Ra Naming Conventions - Hyrist - 06-18-2015
Yep, I foresee soo many people just simply not going with the conventions on this.
It's great to have it and all but... this is going to drive yet another wedge between those who are hardcore on lore and those who are more casual about it.
Still, some of this information is just rich. I'm guessing that any romantic propositioning between members of the Torgurd tribe is prefaced by "Hey want to take a bath together?"

I'm so tempted to do a "Guess Judge's Tribe!" thread. But I just know everyone will say Goro and it'll make me sad.

Quote:Does this mean that you can name your Auri warrior after your favorite anime character and still be within the boundaries of Raen naming conventions? Prrrrrrobably not—the main reason being because the names used in a lot of modern manga/anime are just that: modern. The names that we’ve decided to go with for Final Fantasy XIV, are based off of ones that were prevalent between the 16th and 18th centuries. The Miku in Miku Hatsune? That wasn’t around in the 17th century, so (unfortunately), it isn’t name a Raen family would consider for their daughter, no matter how green/cyan her hair.
This is probably the best part about that whole page.

My prediction of keeping Septh's full name due to it's Mongolian heritage was correct. Still keeping the last name though, this is a person with no tribe and is literally being converted to Au Ra. It wouldn't make sense to have a tribal surname at all.

Ok did I really read one tribe has sex with horses ooooooorrrrrrrr did I drug myself and not know it?

Like how 'Weaver' used to just be a title of someone who was in the profession of weaving but it slowly just became a last name.
As did Potter etc. ^^

Awesome! Â Thank you so much for this post, Virella~!Â
Okay, so I have zero experience with Edo Period or Mongolian names. Â I've started a threat for everyone to assist each other with naming their Au Ra. Â If you have a good link or advice, post it up and I'll add it to the list.

Well now.... Asmodean is going to be buddys with anyone from the Qestir caln if he meets them.
Only different is he tries to talk if needed. just not very well in large groups.

It's just filler content to be honest. Septh has no knowledge on anything Au Ra related, in fact she's only recently met one and doesn't really have anything to say on it. She probably wouldn't even join a tribe even if she had the chance, her previous experience with tribes as a Seeker Miqo'te were not at all good.
RE: Au Ra Naming Conventions - Caspar - 06-18-2015
Probably not making one, but boy am I glad I did not give any of the characters surnames in my Doman ongoing background story lol. I wasn't sure if they were going to go with it, so I erred on the side of safety.
