Title: The Cult War- official name?
Post by: Alatriel on June 06, 2011, 09:45:26 PM: I was just wondering if there was any sort of consensus as far as what this war is going to be called in Layonaran history... or if we're still waiting for the war to end before historians start to call it anything. I know that the campaign is called the Dragon Storm, and that that name ties to the philosophy of the Green Dragon Cult... but... Cult War? Kuhl War? Belinaran War?

Thanks a bunch!

I believe the plot team will leave this untouched unless the tide turns against the allies. *wonders who will get the hidden references*

:rolleyes:

For reference, the war against Bloodstone lasted some 60+ years...so yeah, long is relative.

Yes. Being invaded is not an uprising, though, just to throw that out. An uprising is an insurrection or a revolt. That's not a good description of what happened. "The Kuhl Uprising" would be the people of the kingdom becoming partisans and rebelling against the Cult.

Jennara will probably always call it "the war against the Cult," at least until some other cult comes along and she has to be more specific.

Small children will be taught this in school, and a whole new generation of oopsies will spread across the world like bulls seeing red, bats not seeing at all, and Columbus.
