I do like how Gwendolyn's name has some meaning behind it. Gart, on the other hand... I have no idea where that came from.

If I had to guess, it's part of Edgar's name.  Gar from his name, though I'm not sure what the T would be for.

The "t" is for Titania. It reinforces Gart's inferiority complex that part of his name was taken from a woman and his desire to prove to everyone around him that he is definitely not gay. #medievalworldproblems

On a somewhat related note, why the heck does Gart have a british accent?

How do you guys conclude the meaning in the Names is part of a Country or Names of other Characters, where did that come from.

By the way, this Thread is about Improving Chapter 1 and making Chapter 2-5 better.

Ok, now here is a far-fetched theory from the dark recesses within my mind (which is a result of playing too many Sierra adventure games):

The same way that Gwendolyn's name is related to Alexander's slave name Gwydion, Gart reminded me of Gort from Quest for Glory V who looked like Edgar when he was under Lolotte's spell.  :suffer:

I initially thought Edgar did have a slave name in KQ4 but apparently he didn't.

*scratches head* People get named after people all the time... for example, my middle name is Kimberly, after a an old family friend of ours.

And it's confirmed in one of the articles pre-release that Gwendolyn DOES come from Gwydion. Gart coming from Edgar is just speculation, but it makes sense. *shrugs*
