Other names

Brands

(In the Glenguard, surnames are not inherited from father to child. Instead, last names describe a person's unique trait, skills or situation and are usually given by other members of the troupe. These are known as "brands" - children under the age of 10 are marked as exempt with the last name "Freebrand". To distinguish between people without using brands, Glenguard say: "[person's name], son/daughter of [parent's name]" should the need arise.)
