What would they call bathing...

Post » Sun Jul 21, 2013 10:32 am

I am trying to make a sign that points towards my new underground pool in my mod. The pool is fed from the waters traveling through Whiterun, down a pipe and cascading into my pool and out through another pipe out of Whiterun where you see the water running out under the city when you walk around the exterior of the city.

So....what would be an appropriate thing to call this. I hardly think 'pool' is really going to do it, seems immersion breaking to call anything in Skyrim so modern a name.

I thought of 'Bathing Springs' or something like that.

Otherwise maybe 'Bathe'? or 'Baths'? What would be a lore appropriate name for the sign that directs you to a pool you wash yourself in?

Baths is probably your best bet. In RL we've been calling it that since roman times pretty much. There's a city in England called Bath for this very reason

And http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Feyfolken_II http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Feyfolken_III-http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:2920,_Sun http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:2920,_Second_Seed_(v5) have used "bath" as an object or activity, and "bathe" as a verb, so those should be lore-friendly.

Judging from the appearance of Vilkas and Farkas there is no word for bath or bathe in Nord.
