Dwarves ruled the Vast and orcs and goblinoid s were driven out and quiet , while ogre s dominated Thar beyond the Moonsea to the north .

One morning in the Year of the Costly Gift , 645 DR , in the very northern end of the Vast , Maskyr came upon a wooded vale that he found quite beautiful , veiled in mountain mists and quiet .

Calishite naming conventions Names and titles were a matter of pride and honor to a typical Calishite . This article describes the conventions and traditions of Calishite naming . General Format . For a free individual , a Calishite would first list his or her titles , followed by given name , followed by his or her parent ' s name , followed by family name , followed by hometown . For a slave , the individual ' s given name was followed by the particle " adh " and his or her owner or owning family . Titles . A Calishite noble often had many titles . Formally , all of them would be listed in order of importance with the least important title first . If one was the highest rank of a given title , the prefix " syl - " was added to the title name . Patronym / Matronym . Male Calishite names indicated the father with the particle " yn " , meaning " son of " , followed by the father ' s given name . Female Calishites used the word " yr " , " daughter of " , followed by their mother ' s name . Occasionally , a man might refer to himself as the son of his mother , or a woman as the daughter of her father , if the parent was particularly famous or if the other parent was particularly infamous . As a sign of true respect , one might additionally include the names of grandparents when addressing another . Surnames . A Calishite individual ' s family or clan name followed the patronym / matronym , prefixed with the article " el " or less commonly " al " . A woman would take the family name of her husband when marrying , but she would maintain a link to her family of origin through her matronym ( mother ' s name ) . Religious devotees often replaced their family name with the name of their god , going by the surname " el Ilmater " for example . This was not considered disrespectful to their family but was seen as a sign of respect to their patron deity . Hometown . Sometimes , a Calishite would proudly indicate his or her place of birth or residence with the preposition " yi " , meaning " from " , followed by the name of the town or city . If a person had rejected his or her family or been disowned , this would commonly substitute for the surname . Exceptions . Due to the influence of other cultures , some Calishites dropped the article " el " or " al " in their surnames . For example , the sultan of Keltar , Duncan el Ashnarti , often went by " Duncan Ashnarti " . In other cases , if one wished to hide his or her background or did not know it , the usual naming traditions were abandoned . This was often the case among the many rogue s of Calimshan . Address . To formally address a Calishite , one used as complete a name as possible . If one had many titles , the " annuv " , a hand motion in speech or a marking in writing , could be used for the sake of brevity to indicate that not all titles had been spoken or written . If the status and name of the person were unknown , the terms " tabarif " and " tabarifa " were used for males and females respectively , which translated as " honorable stranger " . When addressing those of higher status , the terms were " rafayam " and " rafayar " .
