To Name a Few Random Name Tables You Can Take Anywhere To Name a Few Random name tables you can take anywhere Sample file Introduction Most of this zine is a mere transcription of the random human name tables printed in Xanathar's Guide to Everything. Since that's the only thing I ever reference in that book, I'd rather have something small and portable that I can scribble on and annotate with my notes about NPCs. The last page details two new spells that deal with names. Do note that whether a name is listed as "male" or "female" should be taken with a grain of salt, as many of the names are unisex. Larger books of names exist, of course. In addition to baby name books and online generators, I recommend the Story Games Names Project by Jason Morningstar. It covers a wide range of genres, and can be found in print-on-demand at lulu.com, or as a free pdf at archive.org. If you enJoy the spells, you might enJoy my other work on the DM's Guild and on itch.io.

  • Macedonian Kings, Egyptian Pharaohs the Ptolemaic Family In
    Department of World Cultures University of Helsinki Helsinki Macedonian Kings, Egyptian Pharaohs The Ptolemaic Family in the Encomiastic Poems of Callimachus Iiro Laukola ACADEMIC DISSERTATION To be publicly discussed, by due permission of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Helsinki in auditorium XV, University Main Building, on the 23rd of September, 2016 at 12 o’clock. Helsinki 2016 © Iiro Laukola 2016 ISBN 978-951-51-2383-1 (paperback.) ISBN 978-951-51-2384-8 (PDF) Unigrafia Helsinki 2016 Abstract The interaction between Greek and Egyptian cultural concepts has been an intense yet controversial topic in studies about Ptolemaic Egypt. The present study partakes in this discussion with an analysis of the encomiastic poems of Callimachus of Cyrene (c. 305 – c. 240 BC). The success of the Ptolemaic Dynasty is crystallized in the juxtaposing of the different roles of a Greek ǴdzȅǻǽǷȏȄ and of an Egyptian Pharaoh, and this study gives a glimpse of this political and ideological endeavour through the poetry of Callimachus. The contribution of the present work is to situate Callimachus in the core of the Ptolemaic court. Callimachus was a proponent of the Ptolemaic rule. By reappraising the traditional Greek beliefs, he examined the bicultural rule of the Ptolemies in his encomiastic poems. This work critically examines six Callimachean hymns, namely to Zeus, to Apollo, to Artemis, to Delos, to Athena and to Demeter together with the Victory of Berenice, the Lock of Berenice and the Ektheosis of Arsinoe. Characterized by ambiguous imagery, the hymns inspect the ruptures in Greek thought during the Hellenistic age.

  • Hatshepsut 1. Historical Context
    Option A: Hatshepsut 1. Historical Context 1.1 Geography, topography, and resources of Egypt and its neighbours Geography • Egypt is referred to as the Black Land (Kemet) comprising the triangular delta, Faiyum and long fertile strip on either side of the Nile river • Separated into Upper and Lower Egypt • The desert areas are known as Red Land (Deshret) and comprised the Western desert, the Eastern desert, and Sinai. • Extensive desert provided natural defence and resources • Fertile area was lush and ordered, exploited by mining expeditions organised by Pharaoh • Isolation by the Nile valley and sea meant Egypt had long been self-sufficient and was relatively free of invaders. Isolation led to a culture unique compared to those on the fertile crescent and mainland. • “Gift of the Nile” HERODOTUS • Invasion of N Egypt by Hyksos shattered their sense of security → resulted in expulsion of Hyksos and creation of the New Kingdom Role and Function of The Nile • Nile is the major north-east African river that flows toward the northern side of African territory • The Nile River flows north 5470km to reach the southern border of Egypt. The northern section of the river flows through the desert, from Sudan to Egypt. • River Nile flows through ten countries ending up in a large delta – Finally the river flows into the Mediterranean Sea. • The basics of the Egyptian diet (bread and beer provided by wheat and barley) was ensured by the annual inundation. Inundation: Annual floods made Egypt fertile since there was limited natural rainfall. • Provided Papyrus (plant grown along the Nile from which paper was made) • The trades between various countries along the river Nile made Egypt an economically secured nation Resources of Egypt Sinai Copper, turquoise Provided an enormous range of wild fowl Delta that were hunted Provided a plentiful supply of fish, produced crops, and breeding of animals, grew The Nile River wheat, barley, flax, fruit, and vegetables.

  • The Historical Field As a Chaos of Being in Wilbur Smith's
    THE HISTORICAL FIELD AS A CHAOS OF BEING IN WILBUR SMITH’S PHARAOH U. Fathima Farzana, Research Scholar and Assistant Professor of English, Sri. S. Ramasamy Naidu Memorial College, Sattur (India) ABSTRACT Fact and fiction merge together to create a chaos of being in historical fiction. It is the duty of the historical writer to submerge facts subtly within the spheres of fiction. Twenty-first century has had a comeback in these historical texts as researchers are rereading these fantasies through semiotics and metahistory. Wilbur Smith is a contemporary South African historical writer whose Ancient Egypt series, of which Pharaoh is the last, who manipulates fiction to reveal the tyranny behind great and noble heroes. The much glorified Ramses I and Ramses II of nineteenth dynasty Upper and Lower Egypt are combined into the formidable Rameses of Luxor in the narrative. The people of Egypt are relieved when Utteric becomes Pharaoh – the Egyptian connotation of a god-King. Oppression and torture follow even when his successor Rameses ascends the throne. Smith uses his narrative as a tool to excavate the long lost and forgotten facts of the tyrants who called themselves noble. His Egypt is very different from the glorified versions of historians. This paper analyses some of the metahistorical elements hidden between the lines of fiction and explicates the historical field as an unstable body of chaos. Keywords: Historical Field, Narrative, Tyranny, Rameses I INTRODUCTION When it comes to historical narrative, it is hard to separate fact from fiction. The author‟s conscience and resourcefulness can either fall towards the truth or towards the golden flights of imagination.
