You've got one very unrelated name next to two very sensible names, one moderately logical name (rain comes out of the sky usually) and several plain ones. That means you're lucky.

Not really. For a god to mention a valid domain four flippin' times in his own name, and yet not have power over that domain, is bad enough. But when that domain is then picked up by some other god in the same pantheon, that's just rubbing the first god's nose in it.

In a completely unrelated fort, I once had a dwarf whose name was Mechanism Mechanismmechanism. He was a cook.

Heh, reminds me of a terrrible d&d joke that would be hilarious to re-create in masterwork: Gnomy, McGnome the Gnomiest Gnome the half-Orc barbarian....

You had me going there, until I got to the half-orc part. Pretty funny.

Somewhat related, I found a book named "The Book of the Book in the Book." Yeah.

Yeah. the only character concept that was deemed more ridiculous was a gold plated dorf... Of course I think someone's done an artifact set of gold plate armour....

Speaking of books, a goblin necromancer named Olo in one of my worlds once wrote "The book: my greatest mistake", bound in peach-faced lovebird bone. It was a 231 page commentary on "The book: my greatest mistake", a 231 page commentary on "The book: my greatest mistake", a 231 page commentary on, well, you can guess what. The writing was as vicious as it can be.

So essentially he went insane and starting writing commentception books with his undead friends.
Nice to know.

He also later wrote "Zombies and the world", a very humorous 17-page essay on the secrets of life and death and about 35 different books about himself.

Speaking of hilarious artefact names, I once had a legendary brass mace called "Gentleparrot the destroyer of anuses", which was studded with various gems and encircled with dog leather.

EDIT: I also once forced a bone carver into a fell mood so that he would make my baron into something useful. The result was a dwarf bone figurine of moon snails called "cat".

That sounds like an essay I'd probably write. Oh, and that weapon has to have some kind of history to tag along with it.

I'll be in the corner quietly expiring of laughter if you need me.

I don't even want to know how my expedition leader got the name "Ducim Incestuouspumpkin."

A book called "The Sinewy Fight of the Vampire Lord", a 444 page chronicle written by Egu. It concerns the vampire lord Upimi Acewill the Awe-Inspiring Violence. The writing is reasonably serious yet has a hint of viciousness to it.

Another good one is "The Horse Monster and the Revolting Plot".

Also, I would quite definitely buy "Are you blazing?" if it existed in real life. Of course, it would also have to mean blazing as in fire, rather than anger.

Bro, do you even blaze?

Sounds like the dwarven book version of Hellsing Ultimate. I'd read it.

"The Oily Cult was a dwarven religion of the Universe of Typhoons centered around the worship of Etur Oiledcrest, a eagle goddess of the mountains."

Oily Cult, eh? Wonder what their religious practices are, wink wink nudge nudge.
