1. “Strigik” was not fixed yet - it is the first unit in alphabetical order, while it must be in “S” (“С” cyrillic).

2. “Doom of…” was translated like “Беда…” That’s such a pity that your translators do not know Russian well enough. (On the other hand, they make me giggle each time I switch to Russian localization.) I’d propose something like “Гибельный…” (“Гибельный лёд”, “Гибельный камень”, “Гибельная тьма” etc.)

3. “Alderfather” was translated as “Отец Ольха”\>But “ольха” is definitely feminine in Russian, you’d better to choose some masculine tree, like “вяз”, or “кедр”, or “орех”, or “тополь”.

The general rule for localization must be: “Do not try to be literal every time”.
