Awesome demon name in one of my more recent worlds: Atu Menacedungeon the Torrid Crypts of Sin.
On closer examination of the same world, it also has an Armor Store called The Diamond Defense. That's gotta be good for business.
...On the other hand, the world also plays host to "The Climax of Moths," a mead hall.
There's also a place I'm reminded of in a world I once visited. It was a solitary square of hillside in the middle of a dense jungle. Appropriately, it was named "The Lost Hill."

I had a single tile with a Lost name too, I think it was a jungle.

HFS?

Maybe a reference to The Hobbit?

Urist, Shorast, and Bomrek
on a routine expedition
met the greatest HFS ever known!
High on the rapids
It struck their tiny =Raft=
And plunged them a thousand Z-levels below!

To the Laaaaaaaand of the Lost!


(Hit me while I was looking at the word "The Lost Hill".  Seemed much more on topic when I wrote it.

It's the fortress mode related, but... Ffs. My last fortress with a random name... I will never forget to make my own name now.

Well, if it offends you that much, you could always think of it as 'cave that has not yet been touched by Dwarven hands'... or something...

That reminds me of the Lusty Argonian Maid from Morrowind.

I remember that clearly, but I'm suprised that that book in oblivion was an easter egg.

Nah, there was a bare-breasted texture for the womenfolk hidden somewhere on the disk, so even though it isn't in the game naturally they had to up the rating.

Lol. In Morrowind, you could talk to the guy who wrote the play. His name was Cosades Cassius. He was gay. It was weird.

2002 was so long ago now.
