Question: Word suggestions(fantasy)!?
This may sounds just like harry potter, but that's how it goes!.!.!.!.
I need a word for earth bound human--otherwise, non magical people, mortals!.!.!.but i don't want to call them mortals, because that's been used before in fantasy!. I'd like to make up my own word that is believable, like Rowling did with muggle!. Any ideas!?
Please and Thank you!. Cheers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, what is the contrast!? In other words, what are the unusual capabilities of the people who are going to use this word!? For example, if "merpeople" we would expect something like "airsuckers" or "landcrawlers" or just "crawlers"!. If winged people, "crawlers" again is appropriate, but also "grounders" (or the military "gropos" = "ground pounders"!. A lot depends on the characters using the word!.
