Town Name - we need a name for the town on the island - any

Darzog · Post by **Darzog** » Sat Jun 23, 2001 1:36 am

We are all living for so long now on this island, but we never gave the town a name!
I think we should do that now!
After we found a proper name we can make a party and babtize the citiy official.
So search your brains for good names and write them down!!!

EdelHeim

( my best translation is Pure-home... but it sounds more inteligent in old norse)

Eleanor Rigby · Post by **Eleanor Rigby** » Sat Jun 23, 2001 5:47 pm

some suggestions:

Noltaris
no google results

Bregiil or Bregíl
google finds that this name was used by tolkien, but with only one i and without accent.

Edelheim
110 google results

Altonor
no google results

Worethol
no google results

i prefer Altonor and Noltaris.

what is a google?
does that mean it was found somewhere else? drats...
hmm... how about...
EdelGard maybe ( gard means garden ,farm or land)
or
NifilHeim (since its is where both good and evil people comes from ,its a mix between the word
Nefilim and heim)

google is an internet search enging, you can find it at http://www.google.com. and if google doesn't find results to a word it's very possible that this word doesn't exist.

#me did again some research *g*

maybe the Links will help you to get a name for the town ...

1. Weird City Names (by Lucas Pereira)
http://graphics.stanford.edu/~lucasp/city.html

2. A list of all cities in the United States
http://www.pe.net/~rksnow/states.html

3. More city names (although the rest doesn't fit to our topic *g*)
http://www.billmurphy.com/ArtshowsGR.htm

4. And still more names (I think these are all in the swiss?)
http://www.twix.ch/de/decities.htm

Who doesn't think that's enough try these two search engines
-http://www.google.com
-http://www.alltheweb.com

Okay, I stop here before someone tests the new wind arrows with me *g*

But there's something I would like to add. Remember the map? This island we are living on is elven and gnome territory. Please remember this when choosing the name. I think a human's town name should sound a bit different to a gnome's town name, right?

Eleanor Rigby · Post by **Eleanor Rigby** » Tue Jun 26, 2001 7:32 pm

yes, it sould. and noltaris sounds imho very elfish. but shit, i think i have read this name somewhere...

Darzog · Post by **Darzog** » Thu Jun 28, 2001 1:06 pm

hmm...in case we refer to nanuk's map I think there is already a town name..(I'm not sure...)
But on this map there are plenty of towns - each a different startig point. We have only one now...so I see no reason to give the town an elfish name. We dont know if this town will still exist in a final version of Illarion...

We have many suggestions now! So lets go and choose a name!!

Neonfire · Post by **Neonfire** » Thu Jun 28, 2001 1:26 pm

Darzog, do you think we should change the town name when the whole map is up?
imho NO

And normally the names on the map are the maps of the regions I thought.

But it would be possible to call this town after the region ... so there are two names

Duglosh (gnome territory) - southeast of the town
Faenahin (fairy territory) - northwest of the town

I especially like Faenahin, also as a town name!

What do you think?

Leif · Post by **Leif** » Thu Jun 28, 2001 6:44 pm

why dont we have something easy.... but still a rpg name.... like
Stuk
Baheb

Darzog · Post by **Darzog** » Thu Jun 28, 2001 10:54 pm

but how long will it take that this will be an elvish town...by the way elves are not fairyes
We do not even have fairys at the moment!!!!
So many things will change until the final version is ready! So dont care about a simple town name. Possibly all the houses wont be there they are now!
I also heard the map will change in size...
My opinion is we have to deal with the present and not with the future!
And present is, that it isnt a fairy or elvish town, but a town for everybody.
Perhaps it might be possible to take over the name in later verisons ... we will see..
If it really will be the fairy-town someday..it will probably not the town we know now (were the fluffy sheep bar or the bib is located in...)
There wont be that much players having a fairy charakter...(i think..)

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Jun 28, 2001 11:01 pm

Easy ? Hmmmm...
Glup ?
Blob ?
aaah, no...

Silly ? Nope, Darzog. Just finding silly names. Have you ever read the "Very Sacred book of MOO" ? Or the "Unbelievable stuff of BOO" ? Wellwell... you missed something.

Okay, now being serious.
Since this island may completely change its surface and perhaps size (i think so, it did several times before), we should use perhaps a temporal name now. So let's give it one that sounds temporal.
People, when there is an ability to leave the island, who will stay there forever ? Not many i guess. So let us choose a name that is, and sounds, temporal.

Darzog · Post by **Darzog** » Mon Jul 02, 2001 9:38 pm

So what name to take?
Or should we pick some out and decide in-game??

Udan Trollbane · Post by **Udan Trollbane** » Tue Jul 03, 2001 12:59 pm

The town must have name...maybe "Invish" or "Killbard"
"Portan" Mentorian" "Galdranen" "Harbin" "Artorn"

Sansonic · Post by **Sansonic** » Wed Jul 04, 2001 12:23 pm

Pasha · Post by **Pasha** » Wed Jul 04, 2001 12:31 pm

How about Illariland or something like Illaritown or Illarigrad (and make it central city if there gonna be more towns)

Udan Trollbane · Post by **Udan Trollbane** » Thu Jul 05, 2001 9:55 am

Leif · Post by **Leif** » Sat Jul 07, 2001 9:04 pm

I will vote the name ass.... "SWILL"
as a tribute to the great cartoon "the wizard of ID" by jonny hart

swill is a kind of a soup.... hehe... cause many different people come there...

Pasha · Post by **Pasha** » Sun Jul 08, 2001 3:01 am
