Well, after having developed a concept since 2012, I've been having trouble naming it; that's literally all that remains. I have asked in answers, yahoo answers, people I know, etc. I'm just having trouble getting results and/or trusting the results I get because I want to KNOW it's correct before I copyright. I'm glad I found this forum and hope you can help me.
So, I'm about to be very cliche and just come out and say, this is a Shinobi -based fiction. I understand some Japanese words; however, I don't understand the grammar and what context to use such words in. I have come to learn that it's important to say exactly what I want the words to mean because context is important and some words have negative meanings in Japanese.
That said, in this fiction, a Japan-like culture was going through a Sengoku-like era. It was united by a Hattori-like clan through political intrigue and clandestine operations. This culture then conquered an Asian-like continent and while the clans are united under the Shogun - there is a lot of in-fighting. This isn't a kawaii-type theme. It's more rugged and gritty. Think Game of Thrones meets Feudal Japan.
Anyway, I wanted a name that implied Shinobi undertones. A name which will roll off English-speaking tongues well... And the kanji associated with it.
Here's what I've been toying with:
War of Shadows
Hidden War
Hidden by Shadows
Hidden in the Night (eg: concealed in the darkness of night)
And I'd love to hear other suggestions.
Thank you very much!
