Re: Knight's Barracks (retranslation) (pt. 1)


Huh, so these sections weren't written by apprentice. Given the afterword seems to indicate he got training as a dark strategist, I always thought it was their own notes.

Though, I do have a question.

Given that both the Sword of Erosion and Sword of Corruption techniques are described as being ...

Re: Tourist Information (retranslations) (pt. 3)


Very minor one and might come off as nitpicking, but the soup is specifically pot-au-feu (ポトフ) in Japanese text.

I did notice that! And it was something that I deliberately chose to maintain the cadence of the sentence... plus I don't think pot-au-feu is necessarily iconic and widely-known since ...

Knight's Barracks (retranslation) (pt. 1)

Sorry for the wait, fellas. This is absolutely gonna have to be a post-per-role job due to the length of this section, so without further ado, here's the dark knight! You know the drill, translation notes in the relevant collapsed section for readability. As I may have mentioned before, this is all ...

Re: Tourist Information (retranslations) (pt. 4)


Question for consistence, but I think this is the student? There is possibility that we have another mamono scholar in training who worked with the Tourism Bureau on these documents, but the chance is very slim.
Definitely the apprentice, perhaps I should change it to be clearer :)

Noticed an ...

Lescatie's Knights of the Holy Ice Flower (retranslation)

Sorry about the wait, fellas, personal + mental health stuff sometimes stops you from writing words!

I just wanna say as a note that while I know "order" is the technical term for a group of knights and the most serviceable raw translation for 騎士団, I have avoided using it as much as I can in any ...

Re: Wilmarina Noscrim


It's rather hard to find nowadays*, but I recall a tweet from KC from the early 2010s where he explained that her surname, Noscrim, was a created as a kind of portmanteau of "North" and "Ice cream".

Ah, so I was right in my hunch that it should have always been Northcrim... but that "cream" part ...

Re: Wilmarina Noscrim


Thanks for your hard work, Spore. For some reason, I completely forgot that Wilmarina has an actual ice-themed fighting style, and the way it works....


Thank you for reading! :) It's a little easy to forget if you haven't read the side guides frankly, because it's not mentioned anywhere in WGI ...

Introduction (retranslation)

Here we are again! A couple things to point out:
1) We are rocking with the exact same dual framing device as we were with SGI; however, because the "guided tour" element takes a backseat, it's less in your face and the apprentice part takes much more import, which is the inverse of how it was in ...

About Salvarision (retranslation)

I truck along like a Translation Terminator, implacable in my duties.

Once again, it's important to note that, like SGI: Dragonia, there's a distinct change in narrator, and therefore what role the audience plays, signified by the usages of plain and distal form. The plain text operates on two ...

Re: Wilmarina Noscrim

Finally, the last of the opening profiles! Nothing really to say here. Wilmarina continues to be Wilmarina. Admittedly, I did really love that the fact that she has incredibly tacky taste in interior decor is so important that it warrants mention on her profile. The Epic Evil Dragon of Doom from ...
