three Eremian NPCs get names.

[grand-excubitor.livejournal.com]

Okay so. To make it much easier to refer to the Eremian NPCs, they shall have names. Each name shall be a genuine medieval name, not that it matters since Eremia is not a real place lol. (Also, miel means 'honey' in French. Haha. But the adjective miels in Old French means 'better' - though not 'better than'; that would be maire. It's 'better' as in 'he had better do this'. Then, weirdly enough, there's a figurative meaning for the noun.)

NAME ONE.
Eremian redshirt number 1 shall be: BEVIS.
Source: Bevis of Hampton, 14th century. Similarity to the name Beavis is wholly uncoincidental. It would've been better to give him the Anglo-Norman equivalent, Boeuve, if not for that. Either way he's a beefhead.

NAME TWO.
Eremian redshirt number 2 shall be: LANVAL.
Source: the Lai de Lanval, c. 12th century. (Wikipedia has a nice neat summary.)

NAME THREE.
Eremian redshirt the third and final shall be: GUINEFORT.
Source: Stephen de Bourbon, De Superstitione, 13th century. Guinefort is a holy dog.

Please be assured, these Eremians only derive their names from the texts described. They bear no resemblance to the characters Bevis of Hampton, Lanval, or St. Guinefort. Though if someone tried to RP as St. Guinefort I would very much like to read their efforts.

Cool cool. I asked in chat whether I should name them, and whether I should post anything about the names, and if so where I should post 'em, and what I heard was post 'em here. I can move them wherever.
