The Language Overhaul
Say goodbye to Astesh Clasptreaties and all the other randomness of vanilla Dwarf Fortress naming schemes! This mod aims to make names more memorable by using languages not created by a machine and by making them fit the context they appear in better (So for instance, a dwarven civilization will now be called things like "The Copper Kingdom" instead of stuff like "The Oil of Paddles").

Unlike other language mods I've found, the new words in this mod will not be randomly generated, but based on actual or fantasy languages. The new Dwarven language is inspired by Old Norse, Human will be based on Old English, Elven on Tolkien's Elven languages and the Goblin tongue will be based on Tolkien's Black Speech? See more details below!

With this mod you'll find...:
- Dwarven first names based on Dwarves appearing in Old Norse mythology (surnames the same as site names) - e.g. Náinn Deepcrown, Thorinn Underthrone
- Dwarven place names that actually sounds like settlement names - e.g. Salgard "Hallcourt", Hringdjúp "Ringdeep"
- Dwarven civilization and government names - you will find civs called Heidlandit "The Glorious Land" governed by ruling bodies such as "The Lead Council"
- Human first names based on gender neutral-ish Old English names and Old English nouns I found appropriate - for instance Brunwig Ashfield and Hreod Ravenyards
- Humans give their settlements names after the plants and animals that may be found there - e.g. Oxadenu "Oxvale" and Aelmeweorth "Elmworth"
- [NEW] Human civ names are still pretty random to be honest, you'll encounter anything from "The Empire of Pigs" to the "Radiant Kingdom"
- Semi-finished Elven first names based on Tolkien's Quenya: Merillë, Minassë, Aranel
- Elven place names based on a theme of forests and nature: Taurehisë "Woodmist", Alquanornë "Swanoaks", Twigthorn "Tuistanassë"
- [NEW] Elven civilizations such as Taurenórë "The Forest Land" ruled by Ninquicombë "The White Moot"
- Rough-sounding Goblin first names based on Tolkien's Black Speech: Krak, Skûm, Nâkh
- [NEW] Goblin place names with a theme of violence, evil and misery: Timroth "Woetooth", Dhomlug "Maggothold", Sharatkulm "Swordspire"
- [NEW] Civilizations like Grumbulluzg "The Godless Dominion" ruled by sinister groups such as Shematorgoth "The Hideous Masters"
