I'm a member of a group of people who plays the same game (overwatch) together, and in this group im considered a gentleman-errant knight vowed to chivalry cause im extremely polite especially towards girls. So yeah i would love playing the 1250s rather than the 1950s but the latter is fine too.

You're looking at Old Norse then. Maybe something like "ungar meyjar" for "young maidens".

Wouldn't it be ungmeyjar, or, in a specifically Old Norwegian speaking context, ungmøyjar?

Maybe, not very good at when to write norse as one word or more.
