Character pronunciation guide?
Is there a pronunciation guide for the names of characters anywhere?

Nothing official of which I am aware. Though I've been informed that rhyming Charos name with that of a certain celebrity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1fCREPBmtw might get you in trouble with some people (ninthdoc, I'm looking at you!)

Yeah, I was thinking about that also when I heard truth bring it up in one of the audio interviews...he said something that I was like "HEY! You don't pronounce it like THAT!" Then I thought, wait, what if I'm pronouncing it wrong?!
I say Uhl-are, not Oolar. (are as in "We are") Uht-gar, not Ootgar. Eye-nar, not Ee-nar. Joe-ton, not how a member of my playgroup said: Jottin, as in "we went Joggin the other day." Yeah, Jottin' |

Actually it's Jow-ton if I recall correctly

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, too.
Shouldn't it be: Ut-gar (Pronounced like put) Ul-lar (Pronounced like pool) Jan-dar (Yan-dar) Ei-nar (Eye-nar) Vy-dar (The most obvious) These pronunciations seem most likely to me since the names are drawn from Norse mythology. That would mean Jotun would be pronounced Yo-tun since his name comes from Jotunheim, the land of the frost giants in Norse mythology. (Incidentally...the name of the stronghold in Jotunheim is Utgard). Food for thought. |

pronunciation
OK this completely derails my whole pronunciation regime. It took years to train myself to stress the last syllable of Krav Maga

Perhaps we need a pronunciation guide for your name xyzchyx as well! How ironic. |

Ray-LEEN! Ray-LEEN!
It bugs me to no end that people say RAY-lin. Makes her sound like some kind of man-woman. And even if we get a pronunciation guide, I'm never changing how I say things--too deeply embedded! Still, it's a good idea for new players. |
