Ladies and gentlemen, I should note we are excluding another important factor in all this -- Larry Elmore!

Dan is keeping too quiet on this thread but I KNOW he must surely have had a high regard for Kit.
Who's the chick with the curly hair in that jpeg?
Tika. Kitiara is the figure in the armor looming behind them all.

Other names/words that will make you feel like a geek:
"Huma""Qualinesti""Thorbardin""Kagonesti"
The Legend of Huma could have been a great story if it had been told right. Instead, we get a book full of plot holes, lifeless characters, pointless battles, and a romance that never develops. Worse, it's not even well written! I mean, what happened to the white stag Huma followed that was talked so much about in Dragons of Autumn Twilight? Knaak must have forgotten to read the ORIGINAL Dragonlance books! I can't see why so many people think this is the best book ever, but they really should wake up and read some truly good books.

And Tanis was some sorta halfbreed who was snootily looked down upon and etc.
Ah, The Legend of Huma. It was the first post-Legends book when the setting became a franchise full-on and such was the anticipation it actually hit pretty high the NY Times bestseller list (as had Test of the Twins before it). I think Knaak's publishers still use the 'NY Times bestselling author' tag to this day!

Raistlin pulled the sheet off the sheet-covered mound that had been sitting on the bridge's main counter for a week and a half. It looked like a VCR, but when Drizzt pushed the on button it opened up a CD carosel. "This is the Device of Entertainment. We got tired of trying to program the VCR and desired the video and sound quality of a DVD, so we made this. You simply buy a supply of CD read/write disks and put them in the carosel. Then, you tell the Device of Entertainment what show you want it to record. Like Tasslehoff, who religiously watches the various anime programs on cable, the Device automatically knows the channel and time slot of the program in question. The Device makes a DVD-quality recording with no commercial interruptions. Not only that, but it's a regular DVD player as well," Raistlin said as Tasslehoff snatched up the Device and installed it in the SOF's entertainment center. "Now I can watch those Monty Python's Flying Circus DVD's..." Drizzt said thoughtfully.

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.
