Viera and Hrothgar clans detailed on official site

[Aryalandi]

Any way they do it I'm excited honestly, now they just need naming conventions that I can attempt not to completely destroy when the time comes.. XD.

[Allegor]

At least for Hrothgar, considering they originate from ilsabard, and the word Hrothgar itself. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say anything inbetween Nordic/Scandinavian, Celtic, or even Greek.

going by their queens name it looks like norse is the influence

[Aryalandi]

imagining a hrothgar Herakles is not unpleasant... actually...
*sighs* ...well i just added a thing I must make

Similarly Kyzaghan is an epic name for make au'ra
And I'll be waiting for the opportunity to see the various nordic themed fem-hrothgar if that is the case, also Scathach

Viera names can be seen to an extent in games they are already in, though truth be told Fran was never an entirely likeable name to me >.>;; as much as I like her character

scathach is a celtic name tho

I'm finding the lore quite interesting truth be told, but yes the equal measures of "the opposite gender exists but are literally never seen in public, ever" explanation for this does seem to kind of rub salt in the wound that we may not get both genders doesn't it?

I think whether or not they make the missing genders has a lot to do with fan reaction and support for them. It will be quite an undertaking to have to implement two additional genders given all the additional gear that will be added for 5.0. It remains to be seen if the Development team will be given additional resources to do that. I suspect also that we'll get some indication of how that might be going when there is a liveletter with questions and answers.

i don't suspect we'll get an outright Yes but they could say no. If they don't say no they are leaving the door open in my opinion to add them for 6.0. I think any new race additions will be kept under their hat so to speak given they'd prefer to reveal that type of content for upcoming Fan Festivals.

So Hrothgar females do exist, they're just rare. :v How convenient.

So are Male Vieras based on lore...

a little bit disapointed regarding the 2 vieras clans.
I was really hopoing for a fierce living in the jungle version and a smaller one living in the world ^^"

[Aryalandi]

scathach is a celtic name tho

It is, and she's awesome in myths, I admittedly take to naming my warriors of light after myths quite a lot, given that they almay as well be destructive war god/dess heros..

*adds Bellona though she's roman*

And yeah, it would be nice if the differences in tribe were as freat as midlanders and highlanders, though I'm not entirely surprised that that isn't the case.

i think many of us would have liked to see that. I guess the problem is if they make them too different body/shape wise we get back into all the work that would be needed to fit gear. I can't say I'm surprised however given we essentially got minor differences with Au ra as well when they released.

Same with other races, actually. I suppose, Hyur are the only one who has serious differences between clans. :think: It's undertandable from development side, though.
