Change the name of Geography and Towns etc.
« on: February 25, 2006, 09:24:54 am »
It is time we start to change names of locations and towns/cities. We need to change many of the key geographic areas as well as a few towns/cities--make them Layonara specific and unique. This will be assigned to the writers and GM's as well but they are quite busy already. I want the epic characters to have a lot of say in the name changes, as they should have that right. This is the right of all epic characters, they have a say in the world after all.
  Please come up with names that you think we should use for the geography and towns....
  Thank you for your time!

I have no problem naming towns/locations after Epic characters, none at all--so long as it fits and makes sense.  After all many things in RL are named after RL people....so it goes to reason this would happen.

Arabel has been sacked, it has been burned, it has been conquered in an overkill fashion all that is left is ruins and places of bloods staging forces.

"Blood's Embarking" - Once named Arabel the city of Bloodstone's Embarking was soon renamed by many thruout the world as the place in which blood truely showed he was seting forth unto the world with a vengance. Even moreso what remained of the City of Arabel itself was but a few piles of rubble from great manors that once lined the shore. Truely a city of horrers.

Bil requests that Shoufal, lying as it does at the bottom of the Berhagen mountains and the continent, as well as being one of Bilvikki's favourite towns (even though he has to walk around invisibly to avoid angering any techy dwarves) be renamed at once to 'Bil's Bottom'.

It makes sense Bil thinks yes he does :)

Not quite epic status here (however I have approval and the quest is well into the development stage); a suggestion for the renaming of the Bay of Carocsa to perhaps something down the line of "Sharks Cove" or "Quarry?"
