Title: Looking For A Term
Post by: Phoenix_Kayden on April 24, 2009, 05:50:26 PM

First time posting here on this board, so hopefully this is in the right spot!

So I'm looking for a kind of term for my story. The character I'm talking about is in something called the Guard. Which pretty much keeps peace and order and so forth. She is considered a knight, which is the second highest position. What I'm looking for is her proper title. I was thinking something like Kayden Guardious, but well...that sounds really lame lol Any suggestions on what to look at in order to figure out what her proper title should be?

try googling things like the military ranks, orders of knights, royalty, you can get them  just for just about everything. just print out an easy one, and switch terms out at will to make it cooler. also there are some great forieg to english dictonarys on the web, so you can type in a position like "atteche to the lord general" and get it spit out in latin or portugues or whatever. good tools, for names and everything. some of the more in depth will actually give you brief histories on the rank, and what it meant back in the day....
