Eberron FAQ lists some pronunciations. Note that he says "As for the pronunciation, the stance we’ve always taken is that there is no official pronunciation; it’s entirely regional, just like “Missouri” or “tomato” in our world." The below are his pronunciations: Eberron: EH-berr-on Cyre: SEER-ee (and its citizens SEER-ans) Dragonlance The following pronunciations have been given by Dragonlance authors: Bupu: boo-poo (Margaret Weiss) Majere: Mah-Jair-Ee (Jeff Grub; note this is the last name of Raistlin and Caramon, and is pronounced differently to the god's name, below) Raistlin: Rayst-Lin (rhymes with "waste" as in "wasting man") Caramon: Care-uh-mon (as in "caring man") Deities The Dragonlance deity pronunciations can be found in Holy Orders of the Stars.

(All Caps are stressed)." Paladine: PAL-ah-dine Majeré: Mah-JER-ray Kiri-Jolith: Keer-ee-JOE-lith Mishakal: Meh-SHACK-cal Habbakuk: Hah-bah-COOK Branchala: Bran-CHAH-Lah Solinari: SOLE-eh-NAR-ee Takhisis: Tah-KEY-Sis Sargonnas: Sar-GONE-Us Morgion: MORE-Guy-on (That's the french "Guy"- like "Gee" but with a hard g) Chemosh: CHEH-Mosh Zeboim: Zeh-BOW-im Hiddukel: HID-doo-kell Nuitari: NWEE-tar-ee (Yep, like the french for night) Gilean: GILL-ee-en (Hard "g" again, like in Morgion.) Sirrion: SEAR-ee-on Reorx: RAY-orcs Chislev: CHIZZ-lev Zivilyn: ZIV-ih-lin Shinaré: Shih-NAR-ay Lunitari: LOO-neh-TAR-ee "Gilean was originally Gilead, and changed as we moved through the book.Takhisis was Trace's name for the slot I had held for Tiamat (Draco Cerebus in my cosmology), and Paladine was originally called Draco Paladine, the Platinum Dragon." Greyhawk Gary Gygax' Pronunciations These pronunciations come from the many Gary Gygax Q&A threads here on EN World. You can find them in the archive forum. Oerth is pronounced "Oi-th". Gygax said: "Say it as Oi-th as if you were from Brooklyn, and that's the way I pronounce it. That annoys all who take a fantasy world far too seriously." On the subject of Mordenkainen, Gygax said: "The character is patterened after a Finnish wizard, so thus the KAY-nen pronunciation." Other pronunciations from Gary Gygax: "GUY-gax is how my family pronounces [my] name, but in proper Swiss it is pronounced GHE-gox. As for Ioun, I say Eeun but Yoon sounds fine, and so too [for Iuz] Eeuse, but Yuz is okay, We almost agree on the pronunciation of Tarrasque--err-ASK TO YOUR tar-ASK, WE HARMONIZE ON [for lich] litch (many prefer lick), and Tiamat as TEE-a-matt." Graz'zt: "Graz-zit is how I pronounce it." Dyvers: "Okay, the city's name is pronounced DYE-vers." "Well, FWIW, here is how I mumble those names. Nyr Dyv: "Nir Div," with a punning "Near Dive" when PCs were about to be immersed. Flanaess: "Flan-AeCE," the stressed syllable almost sounding "ace," the "Ae" like "Ay" perhaps." Other Pronunciations Many other people and places of Greyhawk can be found in the DRAGON #93 list, above. Those specifically marked as being from WORLD OF GREYHAWK™ Fantasy World Setting have been relisted below, but many other words in that section have relevance to Greyhawk.
