'''Renaming the NPCs. '''

Dalish names are really messed up here. You wouldn't see a Viggo or Lif in Kievan Rus. Some names like Olin, I think, are taken from Scandinavian Mythology i.e Odin or something like that. Kievan Rus used Ancient Slavic, and so I doubt you would see a Lif or Viggo there. Of course you wouldn't see Bard or Brand, but there could be a few exceptions. I suggest new names that actually fit the Slavic names. For example some Male names would be: Vladimir, Borislav, Yaroslav, Vsevolod, Msislav, Wadislaw, Miloslav, Stanislaw, Branimir, Lubomir, Nikholai, Nikita, Dmitiri, Nikita (more examples are welcome). Some Feminine names would be: Ludmila, Nadezda, Yaroslava, Miloslava, Beloslava, Olga, Krasimira, Snezana, Vera, and Zoa (again more examples are welcome).

The Military

So in Kievan Rus, there was not a set soldier. Instead, there was a Druzhina, or literary fellowship. So I guess there would be still a soldier, but not necesarily called that way. If any of you happen to know what the Early Kievan Military was, please tell in the comments and I will edit this part. However, there should be one other NPC that would be called Dalish Knight (if you want evidence, then Kievan Rus did have a lot of Knights that they didn't call directly knights).

Thats about it, so if you have any ideas concerning this, please comment. Actually it should be a mixture of old East-Slavic names and old Norse names. And about the soldiers... omg you forgot the Varangians! You do not simply forget the Varangians! I didn't add them because they sounded to much like Variages of Khand. But sure
