if you look at the name rules it would say it's illegal

The name issue is, I suppose, one of the toughest rules. You never know if the name satisfies Galdriel or not.
The name I came up with for my character was my best effort, it's been with me through many things, we became one. But now, if she finds another historical person named so, I will be excluded. Then I would run into a problem.
I bet there's 70% my name will be considered illegal.
Whatever the outcome may be, I will agree to it, however I would like to relate to everyone here that this name is not stolen without or with any intention to succeed, and rightfully belongs to me and to my past. I was born wearing it, and I will not depart from it upon death.

As far as I know, the char exists before the name rules were set up.
Nethertheless he should be renamed cause of the rules.

If I remember correctly, there was a char named "Mandil" once, and then his player created a guild named "The Light Mages" and made a new Char named "Mandil Light Mage"
This would be already hard at the edge to a rule violation (char mixing).

I suppose if he went back to the original Mandil, then put "Light Mage" as his title at the end of his original name, it would be ok.

oops sorry

Hi, also yes i think i did make this char before the names were set up and i would also like to say sorry for not doing this sooner. I dont realy visit the forums much so my attention didnt get caught untill i got the message "a gamemaster kicked you out of the game"(the reason i didnt try to change my name sooner was becausse i dont like bugging the GMs, and im just plain lazy[working on it] ) i had actually not been playing for a month or so and i only just decided to play again yesterday. though NOW i have decided if it is possible to rename my Char

Mandil Aglandol

also since i did that i had just rushed into playing Illarion and i didnt really get a feel for what Role Playing is untill quite recently. I now see that the names Light Mage are incredibly crazy names that really should be done away with. I do ry to play by the illarion rules so if it is possible just tell me what to do or who to ask so i can change these names.
