Help with the campaign I'm making
Okay, so I'm making a new campaign called Exile's Path (or someithng else if somebody has a better idea.) It's about a Battle Mage who's exiled for necromancy. He has to conquer a kningdom of necromancers in order to get the forces he needs to invade his homeland and win the throne he would have gotten if he hadn't been exiled.
I need some names for these characters. (The main character is already named Ralaksh).
Necromancer-queen
5 henchmen for her
14 good-aligned generic heroes
8 Overlords/Warlocks
A traitorous Death Knight
9 Barbarians & 7 Battle Mages for the final scenario
If you give me a name I use you will be named in the finished campaign's credits. Also, if people are OK with it, I might use their names for some of the slots.
Edit: revived!@

Also, if you want, you can use my name for one of the henchmen
And I never figured out why there is no Barbarian called Conan

Quote: And I never figured out why there is no Barbarian called Conan
For roughly the same reason they're called halflings instead of hobbits in fantasy games. Somebody owns the rights to the name, and has lawyers.
Now, on to names:
What proportion do you need male to female?
What sort of "feel" would you like for them? Pure fantasy syllables? Clever puns? ("Sir Osis the Deliverer", "Vyrgynn the Inscrutable", etc?) Or something based on "real" names from various languages? (French, English, Norse, Japanese, Welsh, Latin, etc?) Do you have any place names established that could be used to help form other names?
My library is a bit depleted these days, but I'm more than willing to put it at your disposal.

I used to have the address of a random fantasy name generator. It was very good. You might try seaching the net for something like this...its a great way to get new name ideas. I have well over a hundred original names myself, but unfortunately I need them. Good luck.

Map 1: Foothold
Map 2: Cloak of Power
Map 3: Under Siege
Map 4: The Queen
Map 5: Traitor's Armor
Map 6: Deja Vu
Map 7: Scaled King

Count Hexa will now appear in the first scenario. Thank you.
If anybody else wants their name put in, I'd be more than happy to do so. I still need ca. 30 names!

I don't really know how to use the campaigne editor yet, though I havent really tried it, but I though you have to use an exsisting campaign as a base for your own, is this true, if so Im guessing you are using the armageddon's blade campaign right?

Temos: I don't want the names to mean anything. Thanks, but I won't use names like that.
El_Diablo: Well, sorta. You have to use an existing campaign map, but that's all. Everything else can be customized.

Yeah, I need a female character for scenario 7. Fayree would work perfectly. Also, the map with Count Hexa in it is done. It hasn't been playtested well (HOMM is acting up on my computer,) but I can give you a copy. Email me at davey_d_fly_mc@hotmail.com
