Okay, sooo... are we getting Rakash racial titles anytime soon?

Are there any yet? As far as I can tell only Prydaen have existing racial titles.

I think more racial titles for all races would be a great thing. Seeing as my primary character is a Rakash, I would especially love some racial titles for us. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to come up with a whole list of them.

There have been a ton of great suggestions over the years. Most of them placed here, I think Anji (RaceGM) is keeping a running list of them for possible future use.

Always feel free to make suggestions either here or in the titles section. I've made a few suggestions myself, I'd like to see what others think would make a good title.

Yeah, many have suggested along with me a few titles. I don't remember what I have offered in the past but things like.

Fratvarit Brewer

Butterfly's kiss/bliss
Badger Bite
Badger's bluff
Crow Claw/caw/wing

Odcoru's Omen(may be too much.)
Decedent of Odcoru

Fritter feaster
Fritter Chef
Seeker of Redawvis


Iono. I'm just kinda spitting things out cause I don't remember or know what my ones before were and can't think.

My character wouldn't wear a racial title, but that doesn't mean I haven't thought Rakash are long overdue for this kind of thing.

While I can't get behind references to Odcoru, the gods, or individual pre-Migration packs, I believe there is a safe level of color in references to pack mentality itself. Such as:

Dzirta Vadonis*/*Varvedi
(Pack Leader/Chieftain)

Dzirta Redivasti
(Pack Hunter)

Dzirta Stastitaj
(Pack Storyteller)

... and so on, and so forth. Generic Rakash-flavored guild titles could be neat, too. Plain ol' Varvar for barbarians, garidznawk for clerics, and et cetera. It maintains "Rakash" and promotes a variety of titles for a variety of roles within and without player-formed packs and organizations, without the attraction to a single uber-title like OMG CROW OF MROD.

Just my .02.

I like both, but the problem lies in where to draw the line. I mean there are a multitude of differnt ways to extrapolate the guild names. One way to place a sort of racial signature on this would be a simple translation, another would be to add a bit of cultural influcence. I think in many cases a healty dose of both would be the best cure.

Basicly Rajao hit the nail on the head with my idea of how we should be going about things. Though one does have to be understanding that many Rakash players really hunger for a way to display the culture. So I wouldnt be shocked to hear that a cleric might really like to have "VARNA DEL MROD" as his title. :)
