Changes

Druids use names and phrases from our own ancient Irish language. Whether or not we'll see more of that in [[Diablo III]] remains to be seen.Here is a snip from Dragonhelmuk's Druidic Lexicon: [http://webspace.webring.com/people/aw/wet/druids.html] [[Túr Dúlra]] - Here our "natural" Dúlra again is this time describing the "greatest of the Druidic colleges" and in Irish Túr is a tower, so we have "Natural Tower". (Personally I would have gone with the elegance of a genitive construction rather than a simple adjectival description, but then I guess that just shows my lack of appreciation for the simple Druidic names... or something. ;>) ===Name Changes?===A map of [[Sanctuary]] was given as part of the pre-release information about diablo iii, and at the time it came out I didn't look at it much. A few months later I came back to it however, and although [[Túr Dúlra]] is mentioned on the map the spelling has been changed. For a moment I wondered if they'd decided to make the spelling look older (as would befit druids) or changed the name for a particular reason... The new spelling was "Tur Dura" and other than trying to use an adjective in a noun genitive that would translate most easily as either "Tower of Durability" or "Tower of Dourness"... Perhaps they were trying to give a hint about the fate of the druids! Unfortunately when I went to check the map online I saw that the spelling had been changed back to it's original form from Diablo 2 since my personal copy of the map was made. (Actually the new version said Tūr Dūlra, but I think that's just the Diablo font.) - So the Blizzard team were probably just lax... Or were they?! Either way it's nice to see that Túr Dúlra is still a landmark in the Sanctuary of Diablo 3. Who knows it might even be a visitable location like the glowy places on that map! Perhaps all this Druidic will come in handy yet afterall. ;>
