Mar 09, 2004 16:33:25 I'm wondering why WotC/TSR called Kendermore ... well ... Kendermore.
What were the reasons / what does it mean?

Does anyone from WotC/TSR remember anything about that?

Thanks for any help.

Are you talking about the novel called Kendermore?

The city in Ansalon called Kendermore?

I'm talking about the city in Goodlund.

(the novel itself was named after the city)

Mar 09, 2004 19:27:02 When the Cataclysm struck the continent and sunk the forests of Balifor the kender scattered across the northern wastelands. Over the decades the nomadic tribes found one another and stuck together. They made their home in a new forest north of their old homeland. As word of their new settlement turned up more and more kender traveled to find the others of their kind. Eventually “more kender” became Kendermore. At least that’s my explanation.

Now for “Kenderhome” in Northern Ergoth where Hylo is located once the city crashed the kender explored the forests and found them perfect for their new home and so they settled the region making it their “Kenderhome”.

And of course Hylo comes from the fact that the city was started when a flying citadel full of kender crashed there. First it was High, then it was Low. So Hylo was born.

Seriously though, Kender name their cities in a particular style, they call things what they are. Why Gobwatch? Why Lookit? Why Legup? Because they have a ring to them and they made sense at the time, at least to the Kender.
