Keel Mountains
I think I have a reason the name was changed. It was simply a loss of translation. I went over to several Japanese dictionaries and I looked up the kanji for "Dragonbein Range".

According to a couple of the dictionaries, when the two kanji "竜骨" come together, it indeed means "keel" (a keel is a type of strucural element in a boat). However, seperately "竜" means "dragon" and "骨" means "bone" (Now, this leads to the question is it "DragonBEIN" or "DragonBONE"?).

"山脈" just means "mountain range".

I don't know if this is worth anything. But... yeah. Thought I'd share that. :D


 * That still doesn't explain why the name was changed, beyond the fact that the G.U. game translators were inexcusably sloppy. (This is far from the only example of that.) --Shinsou Wotan 03:34, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * My guess was to be more accurate. I dunno. :/


 * "Over the Keel Mountains/Meets an ape with human speech." Perhaps it was changed to be more in line with the Epitaph?
