<p>When I name things, my typical process is to do portmanteaus (such as with cephalume) or to root around in old forms of words and just noodle around with sounds and letters.</p>
<p>My contributions to the vanyver name came from the old norse vængr which meant "wing" - because this is a winged bat creature! The va- and -r ending stuck around from that inspiration point, but the middle was iterated on until it felt right for the creature.</p>
<p>For the sykever, this one ended up pretty far afield from where I started. Sometimes I'll jot a starting name down and then just kind of change it, one letter at a time, over the course of days or weeks until I'm happy enough not to make any more changes. This name started with válcaeir, which means "walker." With the way this name developed over time, you can start to see a preference forming in the names for certain sounds and letters, though.</p>
<p>Urveth and Nasurgeth... I don't know what to tell you, they just •feel• right. They didn't have inspiration words so much as they worked off the conventions established with the first two, and they just kind of vibe in my brain in the right way. Urveth just conjures the "gaping toothy abyss" vibe for me when I hear it, and Nasurgeth sounds nasty and gross and goopy. </blockquote><p>WOW that sounds really epic.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, it sounds really kewl. These shades have always been my favorite undead. And I love the 2e versions even more.</p>

They had a very clear aesthetic look in 1e, this shadowy monster that wraps itself in a facsimile of flesh. Looked a little Disney-esque (Heartless especially) with sharp, stylistic curves and angles and vaguely-defined features obscured by the shadowy mist radiating all around them. There's still a little of that here, but they're much more flesh than shadow, in a way that makes them look pretty similar to most other fiends and less unique. The individual designs are cool, but mixed in a crowd with other fiendish creatures, I don't think I'd be able to point to any one of them and say "that's a Nightshade" without foreknowledge. I'm being nitpicky though. The art is gorgeous as always, and I love almost everything about this book.CorvusMask wrote:(I'm overally bit sad about nightshade art redesign, they still cool but less to my tastes overall.
