Exalted: Random Flametongue Names

Of Flametongue, the language of the South of Creation, the Third Edition core book says: "Its written form employs a sophisticated alphabet of flowing lines and curves; meaning can be greatly influenced by the manner in which characters connect to one another." Unsurprisingly, the culture of the South heavily draws upon African and Middle-Eastern imagery and sounds. Provided here are a few different tables, each presumably their own dialect of Flametongue.

Do keep in mind I am certainly not a con lang expert and these are merely done to simulate the appearance of a living, meaningful language which make cool names for fantastical characters. While written with Exalted in mind, these names would work in any fantasy setting or even the far future where our cultures and myths have faded into history. Furthermore, these are only referred to by a letter so you are free to assign any to a new culture you'd create for your game. Instant drag and drop!

Type A

This particular Flametongue language draw loose inspiration from a fantastical mixture of primarily Sumerian, Assyrian, Sanskrit and a general middle eastern/arabic influence. Few of these names have any completely true basis in real life languages. Type A language have references to gods integrated into their names, some of which are even extremely bastardized references to the Celestial Incarnae. So bastardized that most would never known unless they are sages on matters related to the South during the First Age (which mean you are free to make up your own meaning!). As a result, this name set is well suited to a religious and ancient people who do not bow down to Immaculate influence.

You could keep rerolling when you get a (Reroll) result but doing this more than 2-3 times result in a clusterfuck of a name.

Type B

The Type B language, meanwhile, derive it's influence primarily from Sumerian and Egyptian roots mixed with a few other things for variety's sake. These names are structured a bit differently: roll first for the given name of the individual and a second time for their second name, which roughly translate to something such as 'Of Name', 'Son of Name', 'House of Name' or even 'Blood of Name'. I will leave the exact linguistic and cultural details to your personal discretion. These names are a bit long, too.
