    Default It's spelled "Kensei"

    and it's pronounced ken-say.

    Also, the server name is "Orien" and it's pronounced Or-ee-en.


    Glad I got that out of my system.

    You people are driving me nuts!

    That sounds like an endorsement resulting from personal experience!

    I think it'd make him look fabulous

    edit: the formatting tags made me read it as brogue & now I think he'd be able to look fabulous while speaking in a Scottish or Irish accent, which makes it even better

    I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was, now what's it is weird and scary to me.

    Kensei is an actual word but where does the canonicity of that pronunciation of Orien come from? AFAIK there's never been any official audiovisual media set in Eberron...

    Keith Baker has an FAQ that you can access from his blog site, but you must pay a $5.00 Patreon fee.

    I'm not willing to bet that the pronunciations are included, nor am I willing to pay $5.00 just to maybe find out.

    So instead, I'll ask how you pronounce "Oriental"?

    As Nug said, it's in the ToEE.

    Basically, he interprets it as having come from the Elvish for the creatures, and is pronounced (roughly) "S'wha-(g)heehn" (very breathy "g" sound, almost an "h"). Makes what (for me) has always been a very odd fantasy word into a colorful extension of the larger world.
