True or False: Moonshavian is to Moonshae Isles as Americans is to America?

| I think that they just go by the Ffolk. And the viking-esque people who inhabit the northern isles are just called Northmen. |

| Well, there are three distinct cultures there. I was just curious as to the overall region/isles/location. Like, if a the gods were talking about the Moonshae Isles, how would they refer to the people there as a whole (etc...). The term Moonshavian comes up in several areas, but I figured I would ask here; where my favorite subject-matter experts reside :) |

| Yes. Moonshavian= person from the Moonshaes, in the same way that Waterdhavian= person from Waterdeep and Thayvian= person from Thay (even if current style is to use "Thayan"). |

| Ed's prolly got some term we've not seen too much of, like Moonrar or something. I like Moonshavian, but it doesn't seem to match the other -havians we've seen, from Waterdeep and Westgate. |

This is what I'd use and this is all I've ever seen them called.

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I've often interchanged between the use of both Ffolk and Moonshaean. I don't really know why I settled on the latter, but I just liked the way it sounded.

Agreed. This sounds like a job for Super ... man ... Ed. |
