Threshold: Names, Concluded! (Patreon)
Content
Thanks to yesterday's poll, we have names for three more characters. Our Smith is Beleth Thiel, Bel to her friends. The Stonespeaker is Sahra Syrralan d'Sivis, but she's taken to the nickname "Sora"—Goblin for "Grandmother"—bestowed on her by the kobolds. And the Scholar is Tragomir Narathun, Ink to his friends; beyond that, "Trig" is a more casual form of Tragomir, that he often uses when he's not using Ink.
Now, let's wrap this up with the final four!
In selecting a name for The Mystery, we are choosing both what the people of Threshold call them and the title that's been popularized by their deeds as a folk hero. It could be that they're known as the Crimson Blade, but that the locals call them "Red" because it's the only color they wear. They might be known as Grim, because of their stoic nature—though folk tales speak of the Grim as a harbinger of death. Or they might be called Vael, though some people think it's "Veil" (because of their spirit veil) and others insist it's "Vale" because they've crossed the Vale of Dolurrh. Either way, when a story mentions The Valenar, people on the frontier know who they mean.
The Wandslinger may have another name, but we're just looking for the one she's known by on the frontier. There's a stories to all of them, but those stories are surely argued; is she Three-Widow Jane because she killed three men in a single duel, or because she herself has buried three spouses? Is she Dol Rani because she's a Sovereign of War, or is the "Dol" short for Dolurrh, on account of how many she's sent there? Or is she called Cinder, because that's all she leaves of her enemies?
The Greensinger would never share their true name with a stranger, but what do they go by? Folly, a reference to the fey realm they call home? Briar, as a warning that there are thorns beneath their fey beauty? Summer, because of their warmth?
Finally, despite their secret, The Tailor came to Threshold as part of a family of goblins from Sharn. As such, their name has a touch of Brelish to it. But beyond their name, what's the name of their business?
Thanks as always!
