Sorry to post on such an old discussion, but it seemed very relevant to me. My guild  is named as such because I felt Kingdom of Stromgarde would be much more assertive on claims over all of the in-lore holdings of that Kingdom, and I did not want to do so. I perhaps should've named it Lionblood Duchy or around that, seeing as that is now where our RP is, but that also severely constrains any ability for my guild to 'occupy' Stromgarde. I saw the name as a way to best represent the guild I wanted to form, and so I used Arathor. I don't use the term Arathorian for most things, but I do see it as an -alternative- to denote people of the Arathi Highlands; it's not the Strom Highlands or Stromic Highlands, it's Arathi Highlands. Likewise, I denote people actually from or culturally tied to the Highlands as Highlanders, Arathians, Stromgardians, etc. It's really interchangable, as with people from the Kingdom of Azeroth being called other names (my most hated term is Stormwindian).
