Ok, your pronunciation was a bit hard to recognize on a couple, but I assume you meant something like this.

A-kee-yuh - A like bat / kee like key / uh like under
Ahy-nawr
Jan-dawr
Oo-lawr
Uht-gawr
Vahy-dawr

Vydar - Vahy-dawr
So which is it, Johnny, Jan-dawr or Yan-dawr?
Well, it would depend on how Jotun is pronounced; he'd go the same way. Are we judging this as a Norse world, or an independant world?

I agree with Rev in the way Koshumet is proniunced. I also disagree with how the suggested pronunciation of Charos. It does not make sense to use the hard "C" here. I might be in the minority but I will continue to say Char-os.

Cool idea! It would be nice to have standard pronunciations. On the other hand, HS has been out long enough that I'm afraid most of our own personal pronunciations are probably pretty well entrenched.

Has anyone ever questioned the designers on the issue of pronunciations? One episode of "Scape Talk" could clear this up with some authority....
