Regarding the Translation of the Place Name "Whin Hill" - MephistoSatanDevil - 01-04-2026
Hello Lava, regarding the place name "Whin Hill," we currently have two different translation approaches. One is a meaning-based translation, which conveys the sense of "a hill covered with gorse/whin." The other is a sound-based transliteration, which does not express this meaning. As the author, which approach do you prefer?

As with Foundling, I would say meaning is more important
feel free to translate it so it does make sense in your language

Alright, we will proceed with the meaning-based translation.
