Where do the Hindu names come from? And how are they pronounced?
The names attached to each sabha (such as the Tigers of Rudra) are names of Hindu deities. Character names are either totally made up (“Shrendi Vashtar”), are Hindu words for weaponry (as I recall, a “khandar” is a kind of sword) or armor, or are names of deities (Shiva, Surya, etc.). I made up the names Mahaduyana and Ghuyarashtra from elements of place names in India. I’ve included a pronunciation guide which may not be totally accurate but works well enough for gaming purposes.
