I don't think I posted this before. I hope not. Feel free to ignore as desired.

While working on the most recent issue of The Book of Drastic Resolutions, it became necessary to compile a list of Praxian names, so that Erich Schmidt could come up with better ones for "Song of the Intora". So, I took 1/2 hour or so and made such a list.

I post it for the benefit of anyone playing or designing in Prax.

Jaldon, an inter-tribal hero
Valatash Walker, a hero, tribe unknown

Mapiri, probably a Zebra Rider
Olgkarth, a Zebra Rider
Hargran, current leader of the Zebra Riders. Unsure if he is a nomad or not.
Sitzmag, a Sable Rider from the Hungry Plateau (Peloria) (name appears to be native. Note that the Sable Riders in Shadows on the Borderlands all have adopted Lunar names, and should not be used for ideas) Kost the Tracker, a Desert Tracker. Unsure if he is a nomad, but he could be.
Boburto, probably an Impala, Ostrich, or Bolo Lizard Rider (solar worshiper)
Balablor, same tribe as Boburto
Nabok, someone's player character, tribe unknown (Waha initiate)

• Note: these names are taken from Rune Masters, and so are probably the least reliable of the ones in the list.

Sources for the above include: Borderlands, Pavis, The Big Rubble, River of Cradles, private Campaign Notes of Jeff Okamoto, Cults of Prax, Trollpak, Glorantha: Genertela, and King of Sartar. I may have missed a couple of references, but not many.
