So, I finally caught on while running Ruins of Adventure.

All the names ... are spanish. Is there an FR Anthropological reason for this?

Sure, they did horrible attrocities when naming NPCs (half-orcs are named after weapons, gnomes after words for earth, half-elves after gems, etc), but I figured they wouldn't go so nuts with the rest of the city's names.

I never considered pronouncing it anything other than Flan.

I've always pronounced it Flon, not Flan.

Maybe I should of had the main personage in my one CKC article - Richard Montoya - be from Phlan.

I wonder if Alaundo would let me go back and edit some of the names in that piece?

Yeah, it just doesnt seem like Ferran Martinez is a really good Realmsian name.

Huh. I totally missed that.


I'm going back to high school and complaining that my two years of Spanish were a waste.
