The Ancient & Classical wing, organized the way a working scribe would organize it
Before you commit to an Ancient & Classical name, run it past these five questions the scribes keep at the long tables, and roll again if the answers do not line up with the tone, the era, and the role you are writing:
- Is the Ancient & Classical name for a story, a game, a handle, or a brand?
- Does the Ancient & Classical name need to share a root with another cast name?
- Should the Ancient & Classical name hint at the setting, or stand apart from it?
- Does the Ancient & Classical name have to fit a known canon or break from one?
- Is the Ancient & Classical name for the cover, the table, or the credits?
