Dwarf Fortress is an insane, perpetually alpha roguelike/adventure/construction/short bearded psychopath simulator game that some of you may have heard of.  It features a* simple naming language that allows you to randomly generate or construct such names as Bomrek Stettad "The Whips of Taxing", Vúshatîs "Hotstakes", and of course Koganusân "Boatmurdered".

Obviously a simple naming language is Not Good Enough, so I made improvements.  Initially I had a look at the language as it was to try and get some idea of the phonology.  Then I accidentally a grammar (still roughly in places and poorly formatted, but relatively complete and including a Babel Text).

Help me tidy up and finish off this shit so I can go back to doing real conlanging.

*Actually four (Dwarf, Elf, Human and Goblin), but they are all relexes of each other.
