User Guide

Generate random house words or knightly mottos for the three Kindreds of Dolmenwood: Human, Longhorn, and Elf.

Filters

Kindred: Select a specific Kindred, or choose “All” to draw from the full collection. When “All” is selected, results are weighted by Kindred prevalence (roughly 65% Human, 30% Longhorn, 5% Elf), and each motto is labeled with its Kindred.

Theme: Narrow results to a particular subject, such as “Winter and Frost’ or “The Hunt.” A motto may belong to more than one theme. Leave this set to “Any” to draw from the full collection.

Number of Mottos: Generate 1, 5, or 10 at a time.

Results

Human and Longhorn mottos show the Liturgic version in bold, followed by an English translation: Sanguis et Silva — “Blood and forest.”

Elf mottos are often corruptions of parodies of Human mottos and they appear in the Woldish only — they want nothing to do with the Church!

Tips

The All setting with a Theme selected will still apply the Kindred weighting, so Humans will appear most often even in a themed draw.

If you don’t like the results, click Regenerate to draw a new set without reloading the page.

Combining Kindred and Theme filters is a good way to find mottos suited to a specific character concept — for example, a Longhorn warrior or house might call for Longhorn + “Combat and Weapons.”

We’d Love to Hear from You!

The mottos are all drawn from a curated collection of real-world historical and original Dolmenwoody mottos. We’re open to expanding the collection. If you have suggestions for things to add, delete, or modify, please let us know!
