Which Might and Magic universe are you referring to?

This is a translation of "Sylvan." Like all the other nonsense, such as "Alliance of Light," "Order of the Dawn," "Barbarian Tribes," and "League of Shadows." The original versions of Heroes 5 and 6 are in English.

Xel, you just love to criticize other people's work. And you're mixing up translation and localization again. These are slightly different things. Well, look, the game was developed by Hungarians, and the producer is French, so the English version is just one of the versions of the game, like the Russian, French, etc. localization. Each country has its own names, not just a literal, word-for-word translation. So don't act smart; the people who did the localization weren't fools either. If you want to nitpick about Haven, Sanctuary, and Stronghold, go ahead. But let Russian people speak and read in Russian, in a Russian style and with Russian realities. That's why Arkturuses become Arkturans. In the end, it's just a game. Jam or jelly – what's the difference, the consistency is the same. Or maybe it was like this: A Hungarian and a Russian, both developers, are meeting. They're discussing the game's development. H. is babbling – "there's Sylvan, Sylvan..." R. – What? I don't understand, explain it simply! H. – Well, you know, there's a forest, and all sorts of elves and other creatures live in it... R. – Like some kind of Forest Union? H. – Oh yes! Yes! R. – Okay, now I get it, let's write it down that way. Everything is legitimate. PS. I completely forgot that Heroes 5 was developed by a Russian team. So the Russian names of the factions are quite authentic – and this is not a translation, but the original names. How they translated them into English is irrelevant. And in general, the principle has changed – in Enroth, identification of affiliation was based on the type of castle, and in Ashan, races are identified as races, not as appendages of castles.
