How do you pronounce "Roegadyn"?

Reuh-hah-Gheudin

Where's the accent? First second or third syllable?

ROO gah deen; roo GAH deen; or are we trying to be accent-less?

I'd say the first -- mainly because of how Roega from Roegadyn is implied to be pronounced (ROOG-ah) in native tongue when speaking phonetics and pronunciation. G is always meant to be a hard sound but the Roe is really dominant. Though one could wonder if some accents might emphasise the dyn part thanks to the long sound Y has in the old tongue which was described as "a long 'e' such as the 'ea' in 'eat' or the first 'e' in 'Steve'."

For example in Aerslaent it may be that heavy ROO since the old tongue is still commonly spoken, whereas in Limsa and La Noscea where the major roe populace only carry the old tongue for names and a lot of later generations speak only the common tongue you might see the DEEN being emphasised.

I mean we'll likely never find out because that'd mean expanding info on Roegadyn and they just don't seem to want to do that ever, but at least we can all work it out.

I often pronounce this way, though I don't know if it's correct
