RE: This Poll Was Inevitable... - Balanor - 05-04-2012
Well, I guess I better weigh in with the official and correct stance on this, huh? Therefore, read all you Thayan haters and weep:
Quote:Guarding the Realms to the north is Rashemen, the Land of the Berserkers. This land is a frequent target of Thayan (not Thayvian, despite popular usage) invasions, which its warriorsand witches meet with indomitable spirit and might. The dwarf warrior Sigurd of Earthfast pro-vided me with details on this ancient and mysterious nation.Source: http://www.scribd.com/doc/45499414/Forgotten-Realms-Spellbound
Oh wait...dammit....but then there is this for the Thayan haters:
Quote:These various Thayvian (or 'Thayan', either usage is correct) agents form a small but well-financed, ever-present spying presence throughout the Realms.Source: http://en.calameo.com/read/000038632765766dab8ed?page=119
Hells. :@ What's a man to do, who strictly follows source material?
Anyway though - the only serious comment I'll make on this debate is that I fall into the thinking that 'Thayvian' can be used to refer to an item or thing of/from Thay, while 'Thayan' can be more often used to refer to a person or being of/from Thay. But I suppose my name betrays which one I am more inclined to use...

A man reads this and makes a decision! :)

Regardless this is an awesome place to play :D
RE: This Poll Was Inevitable... - BigbysBackhand - 05-04-2012
now the question arises, after the trickery of KTA just how many people did vote for Thayan?...because Thayvian could be in the lead...as is right and proper :)

*clicks on Show Results and counts the names*
"Thayvian" would be winning.

Oh, wait...now they're tied. Billy-no-Mates has spoken. :P
So...how 'bout that Thaymerican option, eh? :D

Just to kill this sucker, according to the "Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting" book, it's Thayan.

I'm still special!

If I had realized how serious this topic was, I might have voted differently. ;) lol
(Which would have been for "Thayan" instead of the humorous option)
