Name of map

Post by Salathe »

I feel sort of silly asking this but I haven't seen anything... But does the new map have one name over all?

Well Illarion is the name of the world? I mean the region that the IG map covers.

It's "illarion" Salathe.

We decidet that we want to play in the world the game is named after.

We dumped the old map, Quewee.
But the NPCs will tell you the new Land is close the sevenhill mountains.
Vilarion wrote:Hey all,

for quite a while now we have been looking for a name for our new map with Runewick, Galmair and Cadomyr in it. Actually there is only one name that makes sense: Illarion. Let me elaborate:
  • Illarion is the name of our game, so why does the game take place in the middle of nowhere, this makes no sense at all
  • We have a huge(!) world map with many random places, craters larger than our map, not to mention the mountains (nameless even). If such huge mountains are nameless, this tells a lot about the importance of our map
  • As a consequence we will name the land we play in Illarion
  • We will dump our old maps
  • Albar and other random places can still exist somewhere else, but be of minor importance in a land elsewhere
  • If needed, we can still extend our map, tear down the wall e.g., that means we can still discover new parts of our world, Albar does not have to be a part of that now or then
  • New background that is created should focus on our new Illarion (see also name of the board)
  • While this creates some discontinuity regarding our existing background, I do not really care. Let's change that. We are not bound to follow bad ideas of ancient days.
So, welcome to new Illarion. Let's draw a new map and be done with the old one. We are done with GarakUr. You don't know it? Exactly.

The old map was so cool though!!

So this land is called Illarion, makes sense, especially for new players. So is the entire world still called Illarion?
