Enjoy this nonsense while it lasts, the nerf will come.

So every time a hero spawn procs, simply take the union of the partys' deaths, indexed by location, inner join with list of areas included in that quest, then select killer column, and test each name for whether it is a hero name. Uniformly sample from this if it has size greater than one and assign that as name of the spawned hero else hit the usual hero name generator.
But wait, now you have heroes who come back even after they are killed. So now we need to remember the names of heroes who have been killed by character.
But wait, now we have the possibility of families of hero names getting assigned to wrong hero types ("Ah, its Slurps who Settles Between Cracks, that hero water elemental that killed me, but now he's an orc"). Okay so we need a new column which is hero race....
.... idk player, these things have like an average lifespan of like 24 seconds or something, seems pretty complicated for what, >98% of time wouldn't even apply. If there was a way to manage it that didn't involve lots of queries and comparisons, sorting, etc, then maybe... but how?
