5. "Solamnic" knights (bad naming all over this stuff)

I think it was Terry Pratchett who implicitly noted that the big problem with so much post-Tolkien fantasy is that unlike Tolkien, there are very few trained linguists involved and the names have very little internal logic, just an aiming for sound that 'works.' And so, to paraphrase him, you have Dwarf names like Gladgust Thunderpot.

*arched eyebrow*

I would like you on
A long black leash
I would parade you
Down the high street
You've got the attraction
You've got the pulling power
Walk my little doggy
Walk my little sex dwarf
(Here, doggy, doggy)
We could make a scene
We'd be a team
Making the headlines
Sounds like a dream
When we hit the floor
You just watch them move aside
We will take them
For a ride of rides
They all love your
Miniature ways
You know what they say
About small boys

(Er, so were they any good?)

"KITIARA-SAN!"

("potatoes")

"And Otik is about to put on the finishing touches..."

"KITIARA-SAN!"

"Go, Tas!"

"Raistlin has said he's about to unleash a demon to destroy Otik! How fun!"

There was at least one novel devoted to the story of each character's travels in the seven years before the first trilogy. I remember reading the Riverwind one and thinking it was cool as shit; there were lots of the underground Draconians that he beat to tar with a big stick, no?

NED STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS HENTAI

There seems to have been a bit of a food theme on ILE today. No bad thing.

sturm = "strum"
caramon = "carmen"
raistlin = "rasslin"

he just wouldn't see reason on the issue, either. (but the "strum" one i was like, "dude, are you even literate?")

Oh, Moz has dignity. And Sturm had the rose on his crest, yeah?

Sturm preferred to sacrifice his life honorably rather than get laid.

Which was ironic because he got shafted by a lance.

Er.

Age 12: Read about draconians in Dragonlance
Age 15: Heard Paradise Lost's Draconian Times
Age 19: Read Paradise Lost

Sturm was boring, and I didn't feel Riverwind was very fleshed out as a character. I think Flint (Flynt???) was my favorite. Tas was also radical fo real. But god, Verminaard is the most ridiculous name ever.
