Ha. Nice. Where does yours come from?
From back when I was 12 or so, playing Unreal Tournament 2004. I don't remember exactly how it started. You?
It's a tolkein LOTR thing. I don't think it's a word that comes up anywhere in the books, but you might notice it's similar to other words like "Dol Guldur". The back of the Silmarillion has a short dictionary/glossary of words and word components, and so I grabbed two and put them together. "Maegul" should mean something like sharp or piercing sorcery/magic.
That's pretty cool!
