Oh Grey Elf, How come the place in the Dawn of a Dead Age setting is called Roskildeland? As you probably know, Roskilde is a Danish city. It's still a great setting, but I had to rename that place. It's a bit like if Mordor was called Essex.
Honestly, I don't remember what it means, exactly, but it's actually transplanted from an old D&D game I ran years ago. At that time, I decided what the city was (and at this point I've even forgotten my initial terminology...Heh) and then started looking up various foreign-language translations to find a term I could bastardize into a name. I didn't know about the Danish city.
