@Leucrotta maybe the drow just called it Spidersville but it was deep gnomes who wrote the maps so congratulations you've been renamed, says so right here
@Leucrotta Listen, I mean, if it didn't work for the Welsh, it won't work for the gnomes.

@zebratron2084 did I ever tell you about the ex- whose family was so Welsh that they Anglicized their name by adding a vowel when they came to America?
@Leucrotta No, but I'm not sure I believe you, mostly because I'm not sure I believe Welsh people have a clear enough idea of what "vowels" are for this story to happen. Unless they added a "W" or something. :D
@zebratron2084 the family name was Dw (“dark”) so they entered the USA as Dew.
@Leucrotta Side note: we encountered some deep gnomes in a session yesterday and my fighter (-1 cha) greeted them as Smurfs.
They can't take credit for all weird names though, there's famously Menzoberranzan.
