My foray into document QC has yielded all kinds of fun learning for me, but one that's firmly ingrained and often misused is when and where to capitalize races and such. Now, I know that most documents on the website don't do this, because they were written earlier, and while my OCD-self would love to fix them all, it's not a good use of [[GameMaster|GM]] time, so I'll content myself with sharing my knowledge instead. Since it's the standard we hold new docs to, not to mention in-game alterations, I figured I'd share with my lovely erithi peoples! |
|||
Race:<br> |
|||
Do not capitalize, unless it's at the front of a sentence. Ditto on erithian when using that instead. |
|||
#Erithi are silly. |
|||
#I am a silly erithi. |
|||
#The robe is obviously crafted by an erithi. |
|||
[[Language]]:<br> |
|||
Capitalize when it's the noun, not when it's the adjective (because then it's really the race). |
|||
#I speak Erithi. |
|||
#I speak the erithi(an) language. |
|||
#The book is written in Erithi. |
|||
[[Culture]]s:<br> |
|||
Cultures should be capitalized, and when it makes sense that a particular culture might have a distinctive style of something, that would be capitalized in the alter. [I can't think of a time when erithi cultures would ever be used in an alteration, personally] |
|||
#I am [[Dhe'nar]], but I wish I was an erithi of the [[Eloth Dai]] or a pretty pretty pink princess of doom and destruction. |
|||
#All [[Dark elf|dark elves]] want to be erithi, but they have to settle for Dhe'nar, [[Faendryl]], or lack culture entirely. |
|||
#The belt of doom was covered in Faendryl and Dhe'nar runes dancing in sweet accord, and a single loop of [[Ashrim]] sigils wreathed it in golden goodness. |
