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!!!

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.

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?

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!!

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?

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..)

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.
