Про нарнские имена (взято из The Narn Regime Fact Book, не канон)
Стражинский признал книги и прочую продукцию от Mangoose не каноном, но если надо создать имя для нарна или еще какой бэкграунд, их можно использовать.
Narn Lore – оn the Naming of Narn
Narn names are a two part process and are usually motivated by either family heritage or religious background. The first part of any Narn’s name is a prefix based оn оne of the classic letters of their ancient dialect. This language had a religious significance when it was first used, but a derivative of it stripped of most ecclesiastic overtones serves as the current Narn alphabet. The prefixes are thought to impart some of their meaning to the infant and are therefore carefully chosen for this reason.
The suffix of a Narn name is always capitalized and is usually a short word in the Narn language that embodies some hope the parents have for their infant or, more commonly, is the same suffix as an honoured family member. оn rare occasions, the suffix is a word in some other language. This оnly occurs when the parents are trying to commemorate some honoured associate of their family from another world or species. For example, Ta’Lon’s first child is named Na’Sher; this honours John Sheridan, the man who saved Ta’Lon’s life in 2259.
The ancient Narn alphabet and its usual context is:
What is Canonical (то, что Стражинский каноном не признал)
Факты из перечисленных ниже новелл и фактбуков не будут включены в В5 энциклопедию, поскольку Стражинский не признает их каноном.
What is Canonical
From the information page for the encyclopedia from B5books.com
WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT IS NOT CONSIDERED CANONICAL?
Not Canonical: Dell Novels 1-6, 8:
In 2006, JMS wrote: “The first Dell books were not what they should have been because they tended to operate outside canon; so steps were taken to bring the Del Rey books into canon, working closely with the publisher, and the fans across the board agree that those novels were better than those which preceded them.”
Not Canonical: RPG and table top games
Prior to Fiona Avery being hired as the Babylonian Productions Reference Editor, JMS had become increasingly concerned about inaccuracies creeping into the licensed gaming books due to the lack of a point person to oversee continuity. In May 1998, he wrote, “There are going to have to be some revisions in the game books to bring them into line with the overall story, and other licensees.”
Not Canonical: The Mongoose Publications
No ambiguity here: In 2005, JMS stated “I have, subsequently, washed my hands of the Mongoose books. I haven’t seen anything, don’t know what they’re doing, so sure as hell it ain’t canonical.”
