Df-y names for a kingdom/duchy/county
« on: October 29, 2016, 08:15:53 am »
Hi, for one particular online game I've been asked to come up with a name for a subrealm that has a bay12/dwarf-fortress theme. BTW we're already using Armok and Cacame for other things, so variations based on those names can't be considered.

I have one or two ideas, but I thought I'd put the question out here. If you were carving out a province in a kingdom, and it needed to have a name inspired by DF lore, what would you call it? Referencing heroes from stories or legends would be good.
