Post any names that sound suitable for the world of Hexen in this thread, just edit the pre-created topics to add your suggestions to the categories. The majority of names in the original Hexen are Greek, Greek-derived or Greek-sounding. This is a good guideline for us, but not an absolute necessity. Places can also have descriptive English names, like many original Hexen locations (e.g. Shadow Wood). Brainstorming is open until the end of January. In the first week of February, assigning names to places and people can begin. Kinda hoping Sahadia will do it, otherwise all feel free to add assigning suggestions and in worst case I'll do it. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc9.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

Brainstorming phase over (of course you can still add more entries), now the second part can start (assigning names to places and people).

Here is what I came up with for the area depicted on the map: [list:10bz97n4] [*:10bz97n4]it is one province of an empire[/*:m:10bz97n4] [*:10bz97n4]it consists of two halves, separated by the river[/*:m:10bz97n4] [*:10bz97n4]the eastern province contains one of the most fertile areas of the whole empire and is densely populated (could even be called breadbasket of the empire)[/*:m:10bz97n4] [*:10bz97n4]the western province is sparsely populated except for the coast, which is teeming with villages and cities due to the brisk overseas trade[/*:m:10bz97n4][/list:u:10bz97n4] Possible names for the province: Charybdea Crosydea Pellonos Possible names for the empire: The Chrosydian empire The Tharnassian Empire The Pellonosian Empire The Crustacean Empire (j/k, but would suit "Charybdea" as province <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc4.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->) Name your favorite(s) and/or your own suggestions for these names (should sound greek and shouldn't deliver too many hits on google). I'll upload the latest version of the overland map tonight (I redrew all but the basic contours compared to the previously uploaded overland map), let me know if there is some kind of stuff you'd still like to see added to it before I finalize it and export the final travel map plus start creating the high-resolution overland map that will contain names of all major places written on the map (at which point the story descriptions can finally use final location names instead of placeholders). Update: the latest overland map is at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://orcishweb.com/downloads/koraxdev/ScatteredEvil/Charybdea.png">http://orcishweb.com/downloads/koraxdev ... rybdea.png</a><!-- m -->
