A Mix of Names!
Many fantasy places have a English-sounding names, English words or a combination of these.
These are demonstrated in Game of Thrones with names like Winterfell, Harrenhal, Gulltown and King's Landing,
The names tables I've created have a mix of these, combining the options in columns in Start and End tables, Suffix and Prefix tables, Beast and Creature tables or Role and Person tables
A Table for Place Name...Tables
The table below combines gives several ways of joining fantasy place names, adding a word before or after. Giving some distinction are options with a creature type or person's name. Each column has two examples ready to use!
The keywords refer the following tables
- Start - from the Place Name Start table, using Word, Sound or Fantastical column
- End - from the Place Name End table, using Word, Sound or Fantastical column
- Prefix - From 1st column of the Place Name Suffix and Prefix table
