NIGHT FALLS ON YENSID
October 5-November 14

The land of Yensid was once primarily populated by three species--humans, the Stonefolk, and the Forest Folk. For generations, the three of them lived together in harmony, the bonds of which were strengthened by three parts of the Amulet of Yensid, which were brought together each year in a ceremony designed to strengthen the magic of the land. The Stonefolk and Forest Folk in particular rely upon this magic, for without it, Stonefolk become statues, and the Forest Folk become simple beasts. The humans simply used magic to make their lives a little easier.

But the amulet was lost, the magic went out of the land, and now only the humans rule. The Stonefolk and Forest Folk are thought of as nothing more than myth, but there's something to that myth...and parts of an amulet have just been put on display a thousand years later in the year 201X.

Enter the Travelers, with more history in this world than they know - indeed, Yensid was another of the jaunts lost to Moebius, and their last visit was at the time the pieces of the amulet were lost. Can they make up for their past failure this time around?

What are names and naming patterns like for the Stonefolk and Forest Folk?

And for humans, for that matter?

I'll get back to you! Because that's very important and I'm so terrible with naming not awake right now.

Human names are the same as they'd be in any generic human world!

Stonefolk names follow one of two patterns--either they've been named after a place, or they follow an adjective-noun pattern, with the noun referring to stone or a particularly distinguishing feature of Stonefolk anatomy. (Brightrock, Nimblefang, etc)

Forest Folk names follow a pattern of given name, animal/family name. Given names can range from the name of something found in the forest to a terrible pun to human names some of them picked up and liked. (Buford Bear, Willow Rabbit, etc)
