Team Names for Covenant Game
I play an online strategy game called Evernight at evernight.vr1.com. It is slightly customisable, and I am currently organising a team game based on The Chronicles, and would be very grateful if you could give me some advice on staying true to the story as far as possible.
Basically the game will have 10 teams (of 4 people) named after the main groups in The Chronicles, and I would prefer half to be good and half to be bad.
The teams that I have suggested at the moment are:
Warward
Bloodguard
Stonedowners
Woodhelvennin
Unhomed
Despite (Team for Lord Foul)
ur-viles
Cavewights
As you can see I need two more charismatic evil teams. Any ideas? For that matter, any suggestions you have for changing any of the teams would be welcome. I would rather stay to the 1st Chronicles if possible, but if you have suggestions from the 2nd, please post them but just let me know where they fit into the story, as it's been a long time since I've read the books.
Also Evernight has six religions each of which can summon one type of form (powerful creature). Each team will have one of the religions, and I would like the combination of team and religion to be as true as possible to the books.
At the moment I have the following ideas:
Warward summon Fire Lions (idea from Kevinswatch)
Bloodguard summon ??
Stonedowners summon Colossus (Tenuous, but I want a cool stone entity)
Woodhelvennin summon Forestals
Unhomed summon ??
Despite summons Ravers
ur-viles summon loremasters
Cavewights summon Griffons
If you have any advice on other "creatures" that any of the races could be seen to "summon" I would be very grateful. Basically it is simply a pairing of powerful entities with the various races. But there are only six religions, so some religions will have to cover more than one team in a reasonable way. e.g. Warward and Bloodguard will probably have the same religion.

Thanks for all the ideas people. More please! Especially if you can remember the names of races.
One thing to bear in mind about the "summoning" idea: Each team can summon any number of "forms" of the type for their religion.
So that is why it makes sense for Lord Foul to summon Ravers (because there are many), but not TC. It would look pretty wierd in the game if there were 5 TCs storming about shouting "Hellfire" all the time.
If you want to play Evernight, go to evernight.vr1.com. It will be too late to play in this Covenant Game that I'm organising, as you would need to learn the ropes of the tutorial first. But I will organise another game when this one finishes.
Basically, it is a strategy game played on a map of a fantasy world. Each player controls his armies, and casts spells to influence battles, hide fortresses, summon dragons etc. You log on to the web site, set your orders once per day, and then the next day you see the results of the battles. There's LOTS of diplomacy, and the battles are quite skillful. There are about 40 players per game, there is NO software to download (it's all Javascript), and it's free for the first month. BUT it is not a game if you just want an adrenaline rush. It requires thought and time, and it's very addictive! Email me for more info.

Ravers
Let's see now, Sky. Let me see if I got it straight now: there are how many ravers? (Please forgive me if you've already stated this in the last three posts.) (Sorry, couldn't resist)
"Do you have a wife?"
"At one time."
"What happened to her?"
"She has been dead."
"How long ago did she die?"
"Two thousand years."
"At one time."
"What happened to her?"
"She has been dead."
"How long ago did she die?"
"Two thousand years."

I often wondered if it were possible to repeat a post; now I know! Thanks for allowing the good-natured ribbing!

I suppose you could have the Bloodguard summoning the Ranyhyn or something - not very scary, but they are super-horses, and the Bloodguard actually do summon them...
I agree about the Gaddhi/Kemper lot (the Brathair) summoning the Sandgorgons.
I've been trying to work the Lurker of the Sarangrave into this somewhere, but I can't think who that might apply to.

(I assume Littlefinger is some Martin character, but I'm not sure..)
.Nice board they have at kevinswatch. I was amused to see to see LF used to describe Lord Foul, because I kept reading it Littlefinger .
Thank you for the link, Danlo.
