Stonebound

Stonebound — Dwarven Brogue for WoW Classic

Stonebound is a World of Warcraft Classic addon that converts your outgoing chat into a Bronzebeard-style Scots / Dwarven brogue, inspired by Ironforge culture and real-world Scottish phonetics.

It is designed to feel natural, lore-respectful, and readable without tainting the Blizzard UI or interfering with protected actions.

If you play a dwarf and want your words to sound like they came from stone and steel, this is for you.

Key Features

✔ ENTER-only chat transformation (no live typing interference)

✔ Safe and lightweight no taint, no protected actions

✔ Bronzebeard-leaning Scots vocabulary and phonetics

✔ Adjustable intensity levels (1–3)

✔ Optional “Brogue-only” mode (accent without extra flavor)

✔ Built-in options panel

✔ Deterministic output (no spammy RNG)

How It Works

Stonebound modifies your message only when you press Enter.
It does not alter slash commands, macros, targeting, or UI behavior.

You type normally.
Your dwarf speaks properly.

Commands

/dw on — Enable Stonebound

/dw off — Disable Stonebound

/dw intensity 1-3 — Set brogue strength

/dw brogueonly on|off — Accent only vs full dwarf flavor

/sbopt — Open the options panel

Intensity Levels

Lore & Tone

Stonebound is inspired by:

Bronzebeard dwarves

Ironforge and Khaz Modan

Classic Warcraft flavor

Authentic Scots phonetics (without Troll-style speech patterns)

If anyone says you sound like a Troll, they’re wrong.
And probably beardless.
