    The distiction from the term winter witches and temple Winter Witches is no problem. Problem may be describing them on wiki. Is wiki case sensitive?
    Yes, if two words are used in a link. Either way, a disambiguation note is best added to each page. The problem is more on pages like Lido's page where capitals are used when it's not talking about the temple. We just have to watch we don't do that.... or lengthen the name of the temple.

    Just a thing of practice.

    Anyway, when I was noting the temples of Vosgaard, one particular caught my eye and it just sounded out of place. A temple to Lirovka in Rovninodensk called Remy Martin. Seems like I was just trying to find an excuse to, I don't know, catch it in the act red handed, to supplant it with something else. No, I figured, that would be cruel. But, as I was just catching up with third season of Dexter, the 8th episode has this scene at a bar and the name Remy Martin displays clearly.
    Busted!

    I don't know if any of you knew that Remy Martin was a brand of Cognac, I didn't, until now.

    There are several punny/cute names in BR. Rhoele is a funny name for
    the iconic emperor in the background of a ROLE playing game. Ghoere
    is pretty obvious. Wasn`t Rogr Aglondier names for one of the
    creators? I`ve forgotten a lot of my 20th century Birthright lore....

    Yes, they have said themselves that the names were mostly from the real world with a letter or two changed here and there. I think I've already mentioned that Rjurik is a name of actual ruler from early Russian period. But these are gems.
