#2 mikeloop86 Jul 27, 2009 9:50:07	Well according to this site: http://draconic.twilightrealm.com/ "Dragon Man" is "darastrix sthyr" (there is no Draconic word for Born or Birth). Playing around with that you could get "Darasthyr." out of it.
#3 AvonRekaes Jul 27, 2009 13:21:36	Works for me!
#4 bobiago Jul 27, 2009 14:48:37	Darasthyr - yep, I like it.
#5 rekko Jul 27, 2009 15:03:15	Where does the Jorguntal for Half-Orcs come from? Darasthyr, I like it Rekko
#6 Alex_ Jul 27, 2009 21:47:10	Where does the Jorguntal for Half-Orcs come from? Player's Guide to Eberron I do believe.
#7 LordDreadman Jul 29, 2009 14:41:25	Anyone who wants to find it, it's page 119 of the Eberron Player's Guide. ... Incidently, it's spelled "Jhorgun'taal," and means "children of two bloods" referring directly to the Half-orcs, not just any half-blood. I really like Darasthyr. Now, if we could only find a cool name for Halflings .... Sincerely, Lord Dreadman

#9 bobiago Jul 29, 2009 19:04:27	Kender.
#10 romulus_lonewolf Jul 29, 2009 21:13:23	The french version of D&D uses "Drakeids" for Dragonborn. Sounds good to me.
#11 rekko Jul 30, 2009 7:37:49	In an old homebrew game we named Halflings Nashars.
#12 Magicstar1 Jul 30, 2009 10:14:53	In James Wyatt's novel Dragon Forge, the dragonborn refer to themselves as Drakatha
#13 AvonRekaes Jul 30, 2009 10:52:48	That works too! ...Also,
#14 ChrisTheS Jul 30, 2009 13:43:47	In James Wyatt's novel Dragon Forge, the dragonborn refer to themselves as Drakatha Note that this is just the Argonessen dragonborn, and is not necessarily what the dragons would call them, since the same book makes clear that they speak a modernized variant of Draconic (about as different from the classical version as Old English is from modern). The dragonborn of Q'barra might well speak a different, less evolved dialect, in which 'Darasthyr' would be the derivation. If you evolve 'dragon man' (making some broad assumptions about language shift in draconic)... Darastrix sthyr Darastrixthyr Drastrixthyr Draxithyr Drakathyr Drakatha
#15 bobiago Jul 30, 2009 23:04:34	Yondallae - the Children of Yondalla?
#16 angelus_obscura Jul 31, 2009 0:28:31	Yondallae - the Children of Yondalla? Yondallae-heeee-HOOOOOOOOOOO! In all seriousness, how about the Aiel? They are called the People of the Dragon. ;)
#17 Amaril Jul 31, 2009 19:52:14	In Races of the Dragon (3.5), the draconic glossary shows dragonborn translating to ux Bahamuti, and ux by itself means platinum.
#18 bobiago Aug 02, 2009 13:41:39	In Races of the Dragon (3.5), the draconic glossary shows dragonborn translating to ux Bahamuti, and ux by itself means platinum. Isn't that blasphemous? I thought Dragonborn were proscribed from worshipping the Draconic Pantheon, much less naming themselves after a Draconic God.
#19 Arcane_Guyver Aug 02, 2009 15:35:22	True, but dragonborn were themeatically quite a bit different in Races of Dragon, too. (Their full title was 'The Dragonborn of Bahamut'). Drakatha sounds good. I imagine halflings embrace their name because it only helps to make others underestimate them.
