About temple names
Sacred architecture meets invented god-words here, producing results like "Pagoda of wowbris" and "La Cathédrale de sutdur" beside plainer dread such as "The Unholy Mountain". The lowercase deity names are a gift for worldbuilders, since each one implies a faith you have not written yet. Use the French forms for an old established church and the English ones for cults and ruins.
How temple names are built
Temple names are the most elaborate set here, spanning a dozen patterns over many banks plus syllable synthesis. Forms range from a structure word plus descriptor (a 95-entry structure bank with a 124-entry descriptor bank) to fused cores built from four syllable banks. So the engine builds La Lisière Diaphane and L'Allée Couverte Sacrificiel from the structure-descriptor patterns and fused forms like The greagitirtha (gr + ea + g + i + tirtha).
L'Allée Couverte Sacrificiel
l'Allée Couverte (structure bank) + Sacrificiel (descriptor bank)
La Lisière Diaphane
la Lisière (structure bank) + Diaphane (descriptor bank)
The greagitirtha
gr + ea + g + i + tirtha (syllable synthesis)
Naming notes
The structure-word bank fills the lead slot, the descriptor bank fills the modifier slot, and several patterns fuse syllable banks into a coined core. The structure and descriptor banks store multi-word entries (l'Allée Couverte, la Lisière). Use this as a temple label, assigning one pattern family per culture to keep a region's sites consistent.
Questions about temple names
- Why do temple names take so many shapes?
- A dozen patterns mix structure-and-descriptor pairs with syllable-fusion forms built from four syllable banks, so output ranges from multi-word phrases to single coined cores.
- What are fused cores like greagitirtha?
- They come from syllable-fusion patterns that join several small fragment banks into one coined token, distinct from the structure-word phrases.
- How do I use this variety coherently?
- Assign one pattern family per culture: the structure-descriptor phrases for one, the syllable-fused cores for another, and reuse a structure word to tie a region's sites together.
