Hi folks,
I would like to know what the meaning of the name Ravens Bluff. I have translated it to "Korpens klippa" (Swedish), that is, "The Rock/Cliff of the Raven". But, maybe that is wrong, as it is called "Ravens Bluff" and not called "Raven's Bluff". Furthermore, a bluff can be so many different things ... bluff like in bluffing when you play poker, a kind of lake, or a rock.
So, do you know the meaning of "Ravens Bluff"?
Best regards,
Webmanus

Wow!
One more translator! :)
Can I ask you some questions?
Do you translate geographic names with a meaning? Nicknames?
I'am translating FR into Russian. |

| Sorry Eomer. I am not a translator. As we (the players and I) play in Swedish, we use the names of places (among other) in Swedish. I try to translate everything to Swedish, and, if I make a poor translatation, I still think that it is better when playing in Swedish. |

| By the way, maybe, a more appropriate translation to Swedish could be "Korpklippan" ... for those among us who play in Swedish. |

Bluff in this context means hills. More specifically steep hills with Mountain pretentions.
"Berg" fits nicely. |
