Thanks you randomness and serendipity. I am amending the head canon of my Warring States Chinese. The necromancer in the army will be named 金灶沐 (Jīn Zàomù) written using all the characters for the five elements. Considering balance there is the character for metal, the radicals for fire/earth and the radicals for water/wood. If you were to take it together and read it literally, it might come out as ‘metal/gold’ ‘kitchen stove’ ‘bathe’. Mr. Kitchen Stove Bathing of the Gold family?

Taking a moment mull this over I believe Lo Wang has more gravitas and is inherently weighty. I just can’t shake the impression that it stands out better and can’t be dismissed.

This is why I don’t study Chinese and I ask no forgiveness for my humor while laughing at myself.
