...or at least their names.
I had an idea for a useful table that would actually fit in a blog post and said to myself all right, let's do it. This is a system/table for generating the name of a random historical or important event. It may be something that you use as part of hyperdiegetic information, or something that you use as part of more traditional worldbuilding, or maybe just something you needed a character to say and will never think about again.
To generate a historic name, first roll 1d6 to find the shape of the name, then roll 1d20 on each column that it directs you to. Feel free to add or remove any pluralization as needed to make it sound cooler to you. The intermittent words may also be edited as needed, though ideally in most cases they won't need to be (easiest is to swap articles, such as a/the).
