Birmver - Names

A list of randomly generated names to use for towns and people (NPCs, henchmen, etc.) in Birmver. The random generator used (which I unfortunately did not bookmark) states that it uses real names from historical Norse towns. The people names might not be historical but are supposed to be drawn from real Norse names.


As of this writing, none have been assigned.
