The Problem of Rog - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

"The Lord of the people of the Hammer of Wrath, commonly remembered as Rôg, ..." or "The people of the Hammer of Wrath, led by one called Rôg,..."

I had in mind something like the last. Which IO suppose is an epithet. To my mind it does do 2 things to solve the problem.

1- it keeps the unarguably questionable name.
2- it reduces it from the role of 'proper' name to something like a nickname.

As to whether anyone else agrees or not, I am really beyond much concern. My primary views
on the Rog dilemna are quite different than everyone else's as has already been covered.

So whatever the active group thinks needs to be done...
