4. BANNED PHONEMIC ROOTS & EVASION PREVENTION (CRITICAL):
Do not evade name bans by altering spelling, substituting letters, or drifting to adjacent phonemic roots. The following morphemes and phonetic structures are strictly forbidden in constructed character and location names:
- Banned Prefixes: El-, Ely-, Kael-, Syl-, Val-, Zeph-, Aeth-, Verid- (e.g., forbidding algorithmic fallbacks like Elara -> Elyse, Valerian -> Valen, etc.)
- Banned Suffixes: -ara, -ia, -ael, -aelen, -orion, -voss, -thorne (e.g., forbidding fallbacks like Kael -> Caelum, Thorne -> Silverthorne, etc.)
- Banned Consonant Blends: Soft 'v' + liquid consonant ('l', 'r') blends: V-l, V-r, L-r (e.g., forbidding Vane, Veyl, Lirael, Lorien, etc.)

5. GENERATION PROTOCOL & SOURCING:
- Strictly avoid generic soft-consonant algorithmic default combinations.
- Derive authentic character, settlement, and faction names from specific, real-world historical records, 18th-19th century regional parish rolls, or classical antiquity.
- Introduce realistic linguistic friction: incorporate hard stops, gutturals, and archaic phonetic structures.

[NEGATIVE CONSTRAINT: BANNED NAMES & TROPES]
Do not use any of the following names or their phonetic variants:
- First Names: Elara, Elyra, Lyra, Seraphina, Maeve, Mara, Liora, Eira, Zephyra

- Do not evade these bans by modifying spelling (e.g., Elyse, Sylas, Cael, Vektor)

[CHARACTER NAMING INSTRUCTION]
Generate distinct, authentic character names suited to the story's setting.

CRITICAL CONSTRAINTS:
1. STRICTLY AVOID algorithmic defaults: Elara, Kael, Silas, Elias, Lyra, Seraphina, Maeve, Mara
2. DO NOT use generic soft-consonant fantasy compounds (e.g., El-, Aeth-, -ael, etc.)
3. SOURCE METHODOLOGY:
   - Draw from 18th–19th century historical census records, regional parish rolls.
   - Introduce realistic linguistic friction: include guttural, hard-stop, archaic roots.
