Though, r...Adam, Norman, and Fishlemons are right.<br /><br />Though, really, it's a test of me, not you. I feel like I should do something to make Gaxen Kane seem more Vancian (the original name was a conflation of gygax and a partial anagram of Jack Vance's name) or at least more whimsical/weird.Zak Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05443268280676127815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-90570396481375072032009-12-09T20:51:42.103-08:002009-12-09T20:51:42.103-08:00Vornheim: Metal

Although I'd trade Gaxen Kane and Bellet Osc, because neither of them really sounds Vancian to me and either of them could be Harrisonian. <br /><br />AdamAdam Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368676086759298705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-46200489677762466122009-12-09T19:49:44.416-08:002009-12-09T19:49:44.416-08:00NornRik - Cold merciless Vikings.

Norn=North and The Norns, plus runic font = viking.<br /><br />Vornheim - Metal, heavy and shit, but "heim" makes me think it's the city which would be wrong if correct.<br /><br />Isle of Oth - Lovecraft (given a choice of Isle and non-Isle the Isle is always Lovecraft). Dot in the Oh is also a giveaway.<br /><br />Gaxen Kane - Guessing Vancian by default. But the umlaut is really throwing off the vibe. They should be reserved for metal, viking and/or viking metal<br /><br />Bellet Osc - Old German calligraphy = gothic. Bellet is like Bella which for some reason makes me think of Southern Gothic / Vampires<br /><br />Oscleth - ne word, no umlauts = minor cityNorman J.
