Rastaban, as a former seat of a world-spanning Empire, became a melting pot of all peoples, and as such, we encourage players to gen with names that represent the diversity inherent therein.

Names which are slightly more archaic - for example, names that were in use in the medieval period - are in keeping with the anachronistic nature of the City of Rastaban.

Names with a real-world basis are preferred to completely invented fantasy names, and should gel with the tone of the rest of the setting.

There are different ways of rendering your name in Rastaban, which vary from very formal to very informal.

When introducing oneself second, one should use a similar formality of name with one's social peers, a more formal version of one's name with social inferiors, and a less formal version of one's name with social superiors.

When introducing oneself first, one should never use the most formal version of one's name unless one is certain they are not dealing with a social superior.

These rules of social engagement may be relaxed when speaking in private.
