In 1891, Thomas Hardy published Tess of the d'Ubervilles.  The very first sentence of this novel reads, "On an evening in the latter part of May a middle-aged man was walking homeward from Shaston to the village of Marlott, in the adjoining Vale of Blakemore, or Blackmoor."  This man is described as being gray and carrying eggs.

 In 1977, the prevailing (and perhaps only) role-playing game campaign world was called Blackmoor.   The second campaign world ever was called Greyhawk.  The American spelling of the English word gray is grey.

Grey is the color of the Wardens.  We play a Grey Warden in DAO.  Hawk is the name of our character in DA2.  Greyhawk.

Now, our character might be called any number of things, but I suspect he will be called Blakemore or some variant on this.  Perhaps not.

Blackmoor sounds more High Fantasy.

Also, way to pick up on such an obscure reference.

Can't tell if trolling or just crazy.

That's an interesting theory. I guess we'll find out in time.

Need a gender neutral names.


And how the hell did you even pick that up?

If we have to be D&D campaign settings, can I be Dark Sun? It was so underrated, and fun. That or Spelljammer.

And that would be nifty, but it might also imply that we run into frog cultists. I'm not really fond of giant frogs, though they seem like perfect mounts for ghasts.

But a character named, or from, Blackmoor might own a golf course.

I heard frogs last night while playing DA:O, that means we will have amphibious frog people.

The protagonist will be named Dieter, and he will be very much into German prog rock, nihilism, and recreational suffering.

So the protagonist in DA3 will be named Pat?

Or maybe Pat Blake, and the PC will have seven companions?

Interesting.

No. The US spelling of the English word grey is gray.


You have an interesting theory, though.

It actually fits. Remember that this is the name for Inquisitor. I know, that i complain a lot about similar thing in SC
, where there is "General Warhust" - which is like he was born general and got a name after that, but its always better then if he would be called "General Stickifinger" or god forbid "General Jenkins".

Hmm.

I think there may be an entry in DSM-IV for individuals who make associations like this.

That's quite a leap.

Wow. You know the prevailing role-playing game of 1977. You're a living legend.
