So what is a Hrothgar?

[Berethos]

There's an awful lot of non-Hrothgar talk in this thread that is ostensibly about Hrothgar. Maybe take it back to the other thread that is specifically about gender locking?

Back to the actual topic - I'm getting serious Dwarven vibes from that name...or Viking-esque bigger races (on account of the name coming from Old Norse and being a Danish King that appears in the Beowulf and Widsith epics, as well as other Norse sagas), but we basically have that to a degree with Roegadyn as it is...at least the big strong race part of it.

Either that or a red herring name provided to obfuscate the actual race name. Honestly, Hrothgar strongly suggests an individual or a place-name to me and not really the name of an entire race, unless it's meant to be indicative of a culture that is reminiscent of the culture represented by the Danes in Beowulf...even then it feels like it would be an odd choice for a name of a race based on said culture.
