Now that I'm moved and can start serious work on this new sandbox campaign, I really need to pin down a name. The new poll has a shorter voting period.
Within the context of the campaign itself, I could really see myself using both names. The vaguely Gaelic folks who are native speakers of Common/Westron call the world Cinder. The Adelic-speaking invaders/occupiers/ruling class call the area Andrivøld, because even a generation or two later they still consider the place a whole different world from back home. Tolkien can do those linguistic bits with more aplomb, but seeing as how my whole setting will be more hamfisted than Middle Earth, I think I can get away with it. Whether the official name for the whole setting is Cinder or Andrivøld then takes on ethnic and social dimensions.

After a veeeeerrrryyyy long, and mostly unplanned, hiatus, Stuart and I got
together to play more Stargrave in recent days. It was good! It was also a
bit ...

Jeff,
ReplyDeleteGiven your description of the setting, use both names for the world depnding on your context, but call your *campaign* something else. Hmmm, maybe with "Divided" in it somewhere. Divided World, Divided Planet, Planète des Canailles
By the way, thank YOU to everyone who helped Amy & Jeff move on Saturday -- you did such a good job, those of us on the "Sunday Crew" were told to stay home!
You're welcome?
ReplyDeleteI like the class distinction angle on naming your world. Run with it. Jim’s idea to call the campaign “Divided World” would clinch it.
ReplyDeleteI like it. It adds to the divide between the various factions. Also, bonus points for using the word "hamfisted". `
ReplyDeletewhat about "the Janus Chronicles", sounds cool and captures the "divided" aspect of things.
ReplyDeleteOooooo...
ReplyDeleteMe likes some Janus...
