Tsaesci Naming Conventions

[ciao_gamer]

Since there are probably going to be quite a few Tsaesci in our mod we should get their naming conventions figured out.

The names we have in mentioned in the game.
-Versidue-Shaie
-Savirien-Chorak
-Dinieras-Ves
-Mohi-Titona
-Sidri-Ashak

So how does it work?

Savirien-Chorak is the son of Versidue-Shaie so theres probably not a inherited surname or orc like naming system. Maybe your given name then your place of birth? Or maybe your named after a famous ancestor in the hopes of "inheriting" their skill.

Anyone here know how the Japanese get their surnames? It may help.

There probably is a Surname (or something similar), but it's never refered to, as they have a title Potentate Savirien-Chorak, and thusly the Surname is dropped when referring to them (like with royalty, it's more common to say Emperor Uriel VII, or even just Uriel VII, rather than Emperor Uriel Septim.

You make a point but Dinieras-Ves isn't refereed to with a title, although he is admittedly a kinsmen of the Potentate. Maybe the second half is some sort of middle name? Or a Tsaesci word that describes the individual.

While we are here, its a little off topic, heres a list of Akavari Human(Knife Blossom) names mentioned in Oblivion.
-Sylaj
-Xhaferi
-Vata
-Mishaxi

They seem to use the same consonant-vowel-consonant layout as Tsaesci names but they use much harsher consonants. They are also of course not hyphenated. Anything I've missed?

The Tsaesci are born without names, and only get one when they eat another named Tsaesci and assume their mantle. Before that, they are referred to only by numbers that reference the constellations they were hatched under. Because of this, there are only a limited number of names in existence, and Tsaesci with specially distinguished or famous names need to take extreme security precautions.

Deeza knows how it's done.
