Dwarven: ber

Goblin: usluk
Human: etru

Usage

Legendary beings, such as a bronze colossus, associated with the spheres of earth, jewels, metals, minerals, or mountains will have words from this symbol in their name. Those associated with mountains will also use NAME_MOUNTAIN to generate names.

Dwarves particularly value this symbol (alongside ARTIFICE) and will include words from it to name citizens, sites and governments.

SYMBOL:EARTH

This is the [SYMBOL:EARTH] section of the language_SYM.txt raw file. The file defines categories of words, for use with [SELECT_SYMBOL] and [CULL_SYMBOL] arguments in the corresponding entity file to create various pool of words available for procedural generation of game content (for example, Dwarf names). See Language#language_SYM.txt and Entity_token for more details.

Examples

  • [SELECT_SYMBOL:EARTH]
  • [CULL_SYMBOL:EARTH]

Accented characters

The language files are saved in code page 437 encoding. The accented characters in the language files look like nonsense when interpreted as ASCII or ISO 8859-1, which are often the default. On Windows, viewing the language file with the Terminal font is an easy way to see it correctly.
