Spoiler

I have stopped working on this as it has become apparent to me that there is not enough feedback/interest from the community to warrant the time and effort required to finish.
If anypony would like to have the level data just PM me.

For country names I advise seeing the Equestria and beyond map on DA.

As long as it sounds canon then that's okay. I would like to avoid Mediterranean names though. So names like Saun de Ville won't do.

7) The names of noblemen and the counties they're from.

All these names have to be Scandihoovian.


I guess names like Lord Trotsby or Lord Canterbury wouldn't work then?

Preferably original names. Those names might make their way into the story line anyway. But since those were a couple of suggestions I'll reveal a little detail.

HINT: The story revolves around a mystery in a castle.

EDIT

What about for the king Frostmane?


king blazing glory
queen inheritance
prince virtue
princess transcendence
nobleman eternal winter from the frozen plains of tobedetermined


HINT: The players will be required to gather clues.

I will PM you if I use your names. I've only just begun on the final details of the event and at this point many things can change. Just keep coming up with names and I'll keep coming up with hints!

7) The names of noblemen and the counties they're from.
Count Trotsby
Lord Canterbury
Baron Trotaque
Duke Shetland

8) The name of a clergyman.
Bishop Sunscribe

10) The names of ships in said navy.
The Seapony

11) The name of an island.
Horseway

Honestly I'm not that familiar with Scandinavian history and culture. Now Anglo-Saxon I can do.

hmm... looks like I need throw in a name suggestion so I can give the next hint.

Villain: Trønan Underjor (This is just an example I won't be using this name.)

Hint: Secret passageways and trap mechanisms will be prevalent among the caste. Players are urged to interact with them.

Hmm.... seems like we all need a little inspiration to help us some. Here are three images of the anatomy of a horse. One in Danish, Swedish and Finnish(Suomi).

If you are having a hard time coming up with names then mix and match some of these words. Although it might sound silly to a Scandihoovian :D

Since I'm Norwegian, I guess I could give it a try... Kind of random, but it's something, right?

1) The name of a King and Queen.
Kong (King) Hovlaf Stoltmule (Hoof-laf Proudmuzzle, or something... Can ad -ur or just -r to it as well.) & Dronning (Queen) Sol Måneman (Sun Moon-mane)

2) The name of a Prince and Princess.
Prins Hovlav Stoltmule (Hoof-lav, from Olav, and I assume he's in family with the king, so same last-name?) & Prinsesse Hovrun (Jorun mixed with hoof... And I'm running out of last-names...)

3) The names of two families.
Stormman (Storm-mane) & Hellhov (Luck-hoof)

4) The name of a villain.
Hoofki (Hoof and Loki), Helhov/Helman (Hel, as in the Norse god of the domain of the dead/hell, and hoof/mane) or Fenrir (As in the Fenris-wolf), or if you want to go kind of off-topic (when it comes to Scandihoofian), Zoron?

5) The names of a butler and his father.
...I'm blank... Bøtler maybe?

6) The names of servants.
Also blank ._. Try words like 'Tjener' (servant), or 'Tjeneste' (in service, or something), 'Pike' (Old-fashioned word for girl) or Gutt (boy)

7) The names of noblemen and the counties they're from.
Country: Normane (Norway + mane), Nobleman: Ødegaard (Deserted farm, fairly common last-name in parts of Norway)

8) The name of a clergyman.
Prestehov (Priest + hoof)

9) The name of a navy.
Vikhover (Vik = Bay, thus 'Viking', + hooves)

10) The names of ships in said navy.
Kampskip (Battle-ship. Directly translated)

11) The name of an island.
Mankbard (Mane + Svalbard (a Norwegian island))

12) The names of statues.
Statuetter (Statuets in Norwegian), Golemmer (Golems)

13) The name of a secret organization.
Røverne/Røverene (Sort of old-fashioned way of saying 'the bandits' in Norwegian, and probably Danish too)


If they seemed a bit weird, and/or you simply wanted Nordic names for people/objects, I could try making different ones...
