Naagash nuk ork and Ikakk dwenekt zrem

Again an update of the character generator (http://generator.appcloud.se/) can be announced. This time, apart from a few bug fixes, it is the random names that have seen some major work.

Admittedly, the previous repertoire was a shambled list of various online sources - granting equally shambled results. The new names are more inline with the original intent of the game, following the cultural settings much more closely. This is particularly true for the orc and dwarven names which have seen a complete rework, including some language construction. For all you linguists out there the following short dictionaries are included so you can dissect the generated names at your lesiure.
