Gods in Swedish

Fri 16 Aug 2019, 22:47

Can anyone tell me the names of the gods in Swedish? they sound strange in English already and I trust they will sound even more awkward when the German translation is finally on my desk...

Is the German translation still going ahead?

I'm not sure if I should translate the god names to my native language (Polish). Do these names represent the meaning of the words themself:
Rust - corroded metal
Huge - sth big
Clay - "elastic" material used to create bricks
Or better to leave them as they are?

Yes, I’d say they do. Also, the swedish word ”Drejaren” means someone who works clay into art or objekts of use.

It is again. The insolvency administrator gave green light to proceed. It is supposed to ship in October. Only uncertainty is the additional adventure locations from German authors that were supposed to come along with the translation.

Good to hear. Fingers crossed the additional adventure sites also get made.

Rust - Rost
Heme - Heme
Huge - Stor
Clay - Drejaren
Wail - Vene
Flow - Vanna
The Nightwalker - Nattvararen
Horn - Horn

Eor - Eor
I‘m considering adding some additional names from the viewpoint of the worshippers.

Huge could be Gabil-uzbad (Khazad for Great Lord), Clay would be Ambar or Hún (Quenya for Earth).

Heme - Heme
Wail - Vene
Flow - Vanna
Horn - Horn
Eor - Eor
I'm curious on the etymologies of these ones, as the conceptual understanding of the patheon can vary quite a bit depending on what translation people make.
  • Is Heme the concept related to haemoglobin (i.e. oxidation of blood, Heme relates to Rust)? Or is it an old form from the word home?
  • Is Wail - Vene the screaming of a person or the howling of the wind?
  • Is Flow - Vanna the process of something flowing, the ebb and flow of the tide, or the draping nature of things flowing over surfaces?
  • Is Horn the protruding parts on an animal's head, a blaring sound, or the instrument 'horn'?
  • Does Eor mean anything?
