What makes a name sound Nilfgaardian?
Nilfgaardian names read like Latin and High-Imperial fused with hard consonants. You’ll often see:
- Two-part full names — Given + Surname with resonant endings: Valdor Serden, Marielle Verra.
- Lineage particles — var, aep, de, van: Selvar var Donhardt, Raveni aep Tessen.
- Territorial styles — of [Place] for old houses or frontier posts: Tervan of Alba Vale.
- Occasional hyphenated givens for marquee heroes: Aurevan-Ravion Verdan.
We avoid obvious canonical character names while keeping the vibe unmistakably imperial.
How to pick the right style
- High court & diplomacy: Choose longer vowels and softer sibilants — Vorena Verra, Roderic Tenvald.
- Commanders & officers: Crisper stops and clipped endings — Hadric Varndon, Zerach Brecht.
- Scouts & black cloaks: Short 2–8 letter handles for quick callouts — Varo, Sorin, Valen, Lysa.
- Old houses: Add a particle or a place — Belisar aep Mirden, Marielle of Keepcrest.

- Make maps sing: Reuse a few place roots—Alba, Nazair, Vicovaro—with different suffixes (march, keep, ford) for authenticity.
- Telegraph rank: Epithets aren’t needed; tight consonants and the right particle already imply stature.
