Dwarven Kingdom name competition - winner declared
« on: February 08, 2015, 09:39:35 am »
For a kingdom some Bay12ers are making in a browser-based MMO RPG, we need a kingdom name. I'm looking for cool suggestions. It's gotta be something "bay12ish". Mountainhome is not an option (was used previously and we want a fresh one). All names in the game are referred to as "The Kingdom of ... X".

So far the thoughts are either to use a well-known name like Boatmurdered, Spearbreakers or a made-up name like Granitebeards. I'm looking for catchy ideas that sound like they could be a fortress or DF civilization name.

If someone can come up with a better one, I'll gift you a game of $US5.00 value on steam or gog.com (redeemable any time you prefer).

A poll will be arranged to decide the winning name. Multiple entries are allowed. And pretty long names are allowed too. They don't have to be short. So Axeaxes the axing axe of axes is allowed.

Shortlist

Boatmurdered (reelya)
Granitebeards (reelya)
Spearbreakers (arx)
Stoneshield (That Wolf)
Ironband (Tiruin)

Bay12'ish hmm?
I'm thinking of going along an etymological route, given how (as it seems to me), Toady's construction of the Dwarven Language compared to its English translation also has ties in language structuring.

Though if its the usual 2-part compound (as seen by the examples), then that sounds nice :3

How's Ironband?

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.
