Name for Dwarf Stories Wiki?
« on: May 18, 2008, 04:40:00 pm »

This is the result of this discussion. I'm starting a wiki so that all of the great (and infamous) stories around here won't fade into shadowed oblivion over time.

But first, we need a name.

My first idea was "Tales of Dwarves". I rather like the ring of it, but I figured it would be unfair not to ask for input from the community.

"Tome of Tales"

It's very Warhammery, but perhaps 'The Book of Grudges'?
The Tavern
The Mead Hall
Story Stockpile
Long Beard, Big Mouth
Dr Beardlove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Elephant

Anyone want to root around the Dwarf language raws for something interesting?

"The Book of Grudges" sound fine to me. Or, as a spin at the OP's suggestion, "Dwarven Tales" I like even more. Sounds a bit more fluent to me than "Tales of Dwarves". (Although there is a subtle difference in meaning - Dwarven Tales means tales told by dwarves, Tales of Dwarves means tales about dwarves.)

Are YOU going to pull down it's pants to find out? I'd watch out, he or she may be a legendary wrestler  :p

Anyway, I like either Urist Storyteller, or The Book of Grudges. Perhaps Urist Storyteller's Book of Grudges?

The Tablet

The Dining Room Floor

Beard Yarns


I figured "The Wall" wouldn't really serve its desired purpose all that well, all things considered...

I propose that whatever we name it, it should be possible to name your fort that. Thus I approve of "The Book of Rash."

I like the sound of both:

Dwarven Tales

and

Urist Storyteller's Book of Grudges

(or maybe Urist Storyteller's Dwarven Tales?)
