Fukushima to Gebirgssenke – “Mountain Vale”

Chittagong to Hohenweisse – “High Waters”

Pune to Zwischenholz – “Between the Woodlands”

Larsa to Schönverläss – “Beautiful Leaves”

Jaipur to Rassenblume -- “Vale of Flowers”


Yrs,

Langrave Feodor Ardent of Quellewasser

hullo, Feodor

you used an online translator to convert english to german, right ?
May i try to correct somethings ?
Schönverläss (Jarsa) – “Beautiful Leaves” >> 'verläss' means 'leaves' in the sense of leaving. It should be something like "Schönne Blättern".
'Rassenblume' is also somewhat innacurate, i think. I can't remember the word for Vale, though
Is there a german in the forums? help us out

As soon as i get home i'll look into the translations, if you'd like me to

Not a problem. The names are not in German, but in Classical Fanatakin, and quite deliberately so. I take full responsibility for any grammatical variations.

I expected someone to notice the diversion from the Babelfish translations. I used to give certain Elvish scholars fits when I was writing stories for Middle-earth. I prefer names that sound good to me over the precise translations.
