Anyone here have any experience crafting Dwarven city names? It's for my story (not DA, original) and I always have trouble with such things.
Well, it would seem that the major cities of the Dwarves all have the prefix "Kal-" followed by a moniker, while the smaller towns and outposts are just one word.
City Examples: Kal-Sharok, Kal-Hirol, Kal-Barosh.
Town and outpost examples: Orzammar*, Amgarrak, Gwaren.
*Orzammar is the odd-one-out here, since it started out as an outpost but since grew to be the second largest Dwarven city.
But it would seem that "Kal-" followed by the name of the ruling family of the Thaig is a common naming policy of the Dwarves.
