Conclusion: the Hittite civilization had two early cultural crashes, the first at 47%, the second at 26%. Examining the 0% alphabet of place names we can see that alphabet development stalls for city names at we can see city naming is culturally stalled in alphabet development with the second cultural collapse at 26%.

Conclusion: Hattusa is the earliest hittite city. City naming halts after the second cultural collapse observed in development of the names of hittite kings. No further cities are established by hittites even though they undergo a massive cultural surge afterwards.

Conclusion: Kiki would be the earliest female name if it had been in the data set. Its seems unlikely that the earliest female name would be Koi (after the fish) unless there is a legend of a Koi woman. Koi is considered named around 500B.C. putting 62% at that date. That would suggest all Japanese Female names are post-chinese invasion, or women were unnamed/differently named until then.

First Level: Introducing the BBEG early on

The PC, all freshly and rolled, is hugged by their mother who tells them to stay away from women loitering in alley ways, and their little sister cries, begging them not to go.
But a few feet beyond the hamlet gate they encounter the BBEG and having this one window of opportunity to exterminate the greatest threat they will ever encounter, get a charisma check to resist having their will dominated.

Success and the BBEG immediatly flies on into the village to enslave someone else...unbeknownst to the PC.

Failure is likely if they, like most PCs have a player who decided that Charisma could be the lowest dice roll.

Of course the other players characters are not from this village they only get to listen to the DM describe what is happening, so when the arrive in the PCs home village of Mucketybucket they find that a lone, blood-soaked, half naked berserker is beheading the last of the villagers (the little sister) so they either kill the BBEG controlled Adventurer, or save them from themselves, maybe saving the little sister either way. If the only survivor is the little sister, the player starts off, not as the wannabe hero, but as the little sister, dependant on the party for survival, and horribly traumatized by the nightmare that will haunt her to the end.

The BBEG flies off immediatly realizing the threat posed. And now if the Adventurer has survived enslavement, they get the added trauma of having butchered their loved ones.

Normally they are encountered in hunting packs of fully grown Raptors. They headbutt on surprise with their armoured skull bone. They are just intelligent enough to qualify as smarter than an animal and might set a trap of wooden spikes in long grass and chase prey into the spikes. They are eight feet tall fully grown, and could be trained as mounts.

The majority of Hieroglyph development predates Khufu's pyramid.
If Neb is sphinx, and Nebh- is protoindoeuropean for 'cloud' and Nebh is where we get 'Neptune'.
Neb (sphinx/cloud)+tu (mountain)
Neptune is formed from Neb (sphinx)+tu(mountain). Cloud-Mountain and the fact the sphinx looks east might date it to a volcanic eruption, or a sand storm. Or perhaps Cloud was the name of the Pharoah's white lion.

Conclusion: Oi river valley occupation group at 46%.
• Koi fish likely named at 38%.
Population climbs through to 36%.

At 35% Some cataclysm occurs resulting in cultural development collapse, while alphabet continues to develop. This might be the previously identified event that disperses population away from the Fuji River region.

At 30% Growth in population returns.
• Sake likely invented at 20%
• Kanji likely formalized at 8%.
Growth remains remains high until it drops to near zero at <1%.

You will notice that just like in Korean and Chinese family names, Q, V, and X fall in the 0% section. So it looks more like these phonetic objects are not in use regionally. And insufficient cultural input exists to introduce them. Roman Contact might have eventually introduced them, but the Roman civilization collapsed.

Flop Space:The Manta-2

Ship Name: Manta2
Propulsion: ION Orbital Propulsion
FTL: CERN6 FLOP Drive (Floating-point OPeration bistable quantum multivibrator)
Thermal Radiators: 20 hours cooldown required/
Armour: Atmospheric Entry 2,000K, 2 Earth Atmospheres
Weapons: Crew Side Arms (compressed air) only
Passengers: 6 Crew
Computer: Sentient AI
Cargo: 10 Tons (external access only)
Life Support: Toilet, water filtration, Atmosphere recycling, space suits

The Manta-2 was designed and built on Mars Colony in 2315 by the Red Ocre Terrorist Organization after they successfully sued for corporate monopoly prying the vicious jackboot of SpaceCorp. off their Neck. It is designed as an interplanetary courier craft with five light-year FLOP limit.
Her crew inverted by a bad FLOP, she was salvaged from the Mars Desert in 2318 by a convict labour unit.

And so begins another Public Domain Scifi setting...

Conclusion: you will notice the early growth pattern is near identical except the vowels have shifted. The Chinese A is the Korean O, Chinese U is Korean A, and the Chinese I is Korean E.

So the korean name Na would be Nu. If that sounds familiar, its a name in an ancient chinese tale... about the creator goddess Nu Wa.

We can't close the five vowel group because comparative the pattern is interrupted by M appearing in korean a little early.

But if you move Korean Names into a chinese form, and chinese names into a korean form you get some unusual names.

Conclusion: the development of illithid language skills begins at 60% literate with i meaning of the protoillithid only 60% of the population had the capacity to form language.
As that population developed the first words used by 40% (Illi- meaning Mind and Al- meaning death) and so ended the First Age: The Awakening... in Mind Death, the act of communication taking a life.
While further alphabet sounds develop, there is no further word development through the linguistic Dark Age that follows. This is known as the Second Age: The Age of Silence.
Communication again develops at 28% The Third Age: The Age of Conversation. They establish a hierarchy with elders and tasters sharing knowledge.
24% the cast system begins to formalize as a Noble class arises, their powerful brains granting them authority over others. Tis is the Fourth Age: The Age of Nobility.
20% Black darkness is discovered in a mind marking contact with Outsiders. Thus begins the Fifth Age: The Age of Abomination.
16% The first mind flayer empire comes under attach by mindless Golems.
12% The sixth Age: The Age of Scholars. Illithids begin studying Psionics and Magic.
8% Seventh Age: The Age of Thought. The Empire begins taking servants, slaves, and thralls.
4% eighth Age: The Age of Diplomacy. With the formalization of laws as to the conduct of others, and the interaction with others through diplomats, it is a time of linguistic growth.

A History of the Illithid

-66,528 The Age of Awakening. 60% of the Proto-ilithid species
develops communication skills becoming the
dominant sub-group.
-42,768 The largest population group (40%) begin

meaning death) and so ended the First Age in Mind
Death, the act of psionic communication taking a life.

-38,016 The Age of Silence. Realizing its use as a weapon the

sounds develop, there is no further word development
through the linguistic Dark Age that follows the end of
the Age of Awakening.

-28,512 The Age of Conversation. Communication again
develops amongst a majority of the remaining illithid

tasters sharing knowledge.

-23,760 The Age of Nobility. The elders are exterminated and a
cast system begins to formalize as a Noble class arises,
their powerful brains granting them authority over
others.
-19,008 Ilithid Isolation ends with First Contact. They discover
a black darkness in the minds of outsiders determining
it to be an abomination.

-14,256 The Age of Abomination. The first mind flayer
Imperium comes is attack by mindless Golems.
-9,504 The Age of Scholars. Illithids begin studying Psionics
and Magic.

-4,752 The Age of Thought. The Empire begins taking
servants, slaves, and thralls as its elites become
decadent.

0 The Age of Diplomacy begins with the formalization
of laws as to the conduct of others, and the
interaction with others through diplomats, it is a time
of great growth, though only 4% of the Illithid
civilization are fully literate.
