Hey guys,

I have some kinda stupid question about naming Mordian characters. I know that for some IG regiments, it's quite easy. If you take an arabic name for a Tallarn character, or a Russian name for a Vostroyan or Valhallan commander, you can't really go wrong.

But what about a Mordian character? Are they related to some real world country? They don't have any special character, and not a lot of fluff, so I can't find anything about it.

The uniforms of the Mordians resemble the dress and gala uniforms of today's USMC, if I'm not mistaken. Following this, American names might work well.

A Chief of Staff for the Mordian Army 212 is named "Gharan O'Hen" in C:IG, p.16. Sounds roughly Irish, but I wouldn't say that therefore Mordians should all have Irish names.

I think the Mordians are based on the Prussian army...
Not sure though so you ight need to check.

Mordian military culture is most certainly based on the Prussians, while their dress may resemble US marines

Go for Prussian names then...
Though that might just end up German sounding...
Maybe peusdo-German?

Lexicanum has the following:

General Kraig, Lieutenant Brusak, Sergeant Kolst

Maybe there is actually no real pattern :p I will look on prussian/german names though, thanks for the tip
