I use dagger, but according to the raws it should be olith.
And "thran" means "dawn." What language is this?

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

Bob

Ninja'ed!  seriously, bob was my first thought, though I have often thought Urist McDwarf to be the Dorf version of John Q Public or Joe Blow.

Whenever possible, she prefers to consume bacon cheeseburgers and pinot noir. She absolutely detests stupid people.

statistically speaking, the most common last name on the planet is "Ngyen".
not sure what the most common first name is.

10 bucks says its either something chinese or something from the koran/bible.

Life (in dwarf fortress) is a cocophany of flavours, each more succulent than the last - why not sample them all?!

Don't tell anyone that you can see their shadows. If they hear you telling anyone, if you let them know that you know of them, they will get you.

I thought it was Li, what with China being the most populated country, and Li being the most common last name in Chinese (or so I am told).

BTW, it's spelled Nguyễn.

Muslim is the most common religion, so that's why I suggested Muslim.

Meh, I'm going with Olith. Religion neutral.

Yeah, it has the same feel as Urist does. I'd go with it too.
