RaceNames
names/<id>.ron — OURS; per-race name register (humans stay in names.rs; half-elves compose from both parents' tables — the data/README.md race-key contract). The race field is the file's id (not id).
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| given_female | string[] | required | Female given names. |
| given_male | string[] | required | Male given names (glossed per line). |
| given_unisex | string[] | required | Unisex given names (a small chance to draw one); empty where the source distinguishes gender. |
| place_elements | string[] | required | Place-name elements for settlement/region naming; glosses ride as line comments. |
| place_position | PlacePosition | required | Whether place elements attach as a prefix, a suffix, or either. |
| race | string | required | The file's id — the race key this register serves (the |
| register | string | required | The naming register/style label (e.g. "old-norse"). |
| source | Source | required | Authored source for this naming register. |
| surnames | string[] | required | Surnames — epithets ("the Old") or lineage forms; file comments say which. |

Every shape RaceNames closes over, so this page stands alone.

Every file's top-level value carries source.
Srd51
SRD 5.1 — retained nonconflicting catalogue material.
Srd52
SRD 5.2.1 — the 2024-revision System Reference Document, the same CC-BY-4.0 grant as 5.1 and the current rules chassis. Its files carry the .srd52.ron suffix so provenance reads off the path; see data/README.md for which document rules a given value.
