About the work

A closer look.

Send me up to ten names from your campaign or your homebrew world: monsters, races, places, factions, magic items, your own invented words. I check each one against the primary record and the documented history, then write back what is actually true. Where it came from. What it stood in for before. Who changed it and why. And where the record simply goes quiet. The faction you named after a real river. The god whose name is a mistranslation. The town you thought you made up that already exists. Delivered as a PDF within seven days, one short sourced entry per name, with the sources so you can check me.
