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

I would just like to point out that that is an "å", not an "a".  The "å" is pronounced {OH}, and is thus nowhere near "a".  In pronounciation, that title would be closer to "The Book of Rosh".

I would also like to add that it is a half-translation, and thus you can't really name a fort that...  Yes, I'm a bugger when it comes to technicalities.

But I was looking forward to having a fortress on rock salt and talc to soothe the librarians filling my fortress...

Nope, there's no entry in the language files for "rash".  You can only have a translated Råsh, which means death.  So unless you're helping them deal with coffin sores, I doubt the talc would help much.

This is CLEARLY a job for modding the language files.

Think of the hilarity of having rash turning up in fortress names.

Chronicles of failure?
Tales of greatness?
Tales of the Mountainhomes?

[Akroma]

Who is in charge of the wiki anyway ?

[Lyrax]

Dwarftales!  Hehehhh.

[Kagus]

Dwarf + Tales = Dwales.

The archive page for old, recovered threads could be called "Save the Dwales".

[Jreengus]

Urist's Big Book Of Fun!

[Istrian]

The Necrodwarficon

Dwarf Fortress : Stories of stories and stories

Dodok's Compendium of Dwarven Lore and History

[Deon]

An addition to my suggestion "Urist Storyteller":

Use U.S. for the title (I mean Urist Storyteller, not United States  )

and add at the end of the page:

quote:Urist cancels write a book: dangerous terrain.

Let's consider the end of the page as a dump stone wall which separates our stories from the OMNIFLOODING "aquifier" of the internet, full of halokids and dwarfhaters.

Tales of Dwarves sounds very DF to me.  I vote for that.

[Bullion]

Tall tales!

Get it, TALL tales, and dwarves are short!

[Haven]

Maybe there should just be 'The really friking big Dwarf Wiki', where everything that doesn't have a place on the current DF wiki goes...

The Fortress Tome? It's what all dwarves must read before journeying to a fortress. It's really thick, primarily due to having to teach your dwarves how to do every skill in existance untrained, and how to properly loiter, get your champions killed, and adopt more cats than they can handle. And a full twelve pages on the importance of grabbing clothing.

[uuuluuu]

imo it should fit the format "X, the Y of Z".
