Language and Names

The use of Spanish names in Salantis is (is the real world) a very common thing. As previous posters mentioned, it’s explicitly in the PGtA and ARPG rule books as well as lots of Arcanis modules. Spanish names are even used in an entire Invisible King domain which named the Governor as Lopez.

Henry certainly can come forward and state that every one of those references to Spanish names is wrong, but it definitely is a retcon in the campaign world. Having information from Henry on the proper naming style and some hints about the culture in that province, please, would go a long way towards correcting players’ understanding rather than simply telling us that all of us have always been wrong about those names.

Having just read the section on Salantis in the very new and great 5e Core rulebook is lists names as

Medieval Basque.

I dont know much about the Basque region within Spain ( and every time you google search it all you get are articles on the attempted breakaway) but the names look very different from the typical Spanish names around it.

I found this place as a good place to get a character name (in addition to the suggestions in the book!)
