it was part of a big text update that i didn't notice . There is indeed a discussion about the adjective and national form currently, but i would have prefered do it all at once ( or not at all, or in a module, depending on what's the main opinion coming out of the discussion ^^)I'm not sure I understand why the Ljosalfar and Svartalfar were changed to Ljosalfheimr and Svartalfheimr. Ljosalfar and Svartalfar are the names of the civilizations themselves. Ljosalfheim(r) -- or Alfheim(r) -- and Svartalfheim(r) are the Old Norse names for the realms where they live: "home of the light elves" and "home of the dark elves," respectively. I don't think there are any other civilizations named for their countries, unless that's the plan for all civs going forward. It was just a bit jarring, since they've been known as the Ljosalfar and Svartalfar since the early days of FfH2.
If the plan is to change all the civs' names to the names of their countries, then okay, I understand starting with the easy ones.
There was a thread a long time ago asking about the adjectival and national forms for each civ, if that would be of interest:
What is the adjectival and national form for each of the nations? For instance, the ambassador for France is the French ambassador.
Does this mean that the land is called Illian or is that the land called Illia and the people are the Illians?
