俗丽 sounds very apt for gaudy, actually - the translation back into vulgar might be somewhat distorting?

since 俗 on its own has the connotations of custom as well as tackiness (for the ostentation bit) and 丽 for gorgeousness/beauty for the other aspect of gaudy

but then it misses all the actual implications of the Gaudy QWQ

Interesting! I figured “vulgar” was highlighting the wrong connotations, so it’s fascinating to see how it really does pick up on the various valences of the English word.

Væld doesn't mean vault, it means "abundance". So it's "an abundance of evidence"

@yozegami

Seconded!                                                    

That makes more sense! It’s still a bit “pick a random mystery title from a jar,” but at least it is accurate.

@miss-ingno

for the record, as a German I’d translate Aufruhr as tumult or commotion rather than rebellion

Aha, that is much more apt. Plenty of commotion going on.
