The People of Ulstang
The names of the Ulstanger obviously draw from Nordic sources (with some added fantasy flair here and there for variety's sake: perhaps these are deformations of personal names assimilated into Ulstang culture?), as one would expect. In addition to these names, there are tables for a few notable features, nicknames and history to denote something a bit more unique about the more important individuals, such as perhaps a ship captain or a mighty hero of their people. Surnames are derived from parents; men by adding -sen to the father’s name, and women by adding -dottir to the mother’s: roll a second name on the table and add the suffix.
