I'm curious as to how to figure Wolfen names. Some of the names I've come across seem to imply an ancient Roman Empire feel (see some of the names in the Wolfen Empire sourcebook) other times the names are more consonant based (like Arrl Xzynn), which kind of makes sense from the way their language is described.
Any information or thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: Wolfen naming styles
I base it off of either Roman or Norse/Viking naming styles depending on the background of the character. Roman for the Imperial/city Wolfen, Viking for the more tribal Wolfen.

Nice read.
Needs to be in a book.
Eyes without life, maggot-ridden corpses, mountains of skulls... these are a few of my favourite things.
I am the first angel, loved once above all others...
Light a man a fire, and he's warm for a day; light a man on fire, and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Turning the other cheek just gets you slapped harder.
