Why the Historical hall keeps its long tables ready
Before you commit to a Historical 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:
- Should the Historical name feel invented, historical, or borrowed?
- Does the Historical name have to match the tone of the rest of the cast?
- Will the Historical name survive a translation or a voice cast?
- Is the Historical name for a private project or a published page?
- Does the Historical name need to roll off the tongue, or land heavy?
