Map 2 Codename: Sacred East

Tyrion · Post by **Tyrion** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 12:25 am

Well the east (at least in western cultures) has always been related to something foreign and mysterious. The whole of asia used to be called the Orient (east). Maybe we can say "east" in a different way. Like "Land of the Rising Sun" or something.

I'm terrible with names.

and that graphic is right on by the way... awesome...

Hallowed Paths - 8

Vote away.

Thrignar Fraxix · Post by **Thrignar Fraxix** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 12:49 am

Hallowed Paths +1

Andres Indoril · Post by **Andres Indoril** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 5:18 am

I votes for Hallowed Paths of course

Bloodthirsty Crustacean · Wed Sep 26, 2007 6:24 am

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

Both sound cool to me, and as neither has to be said in game, whatever you guys think will sell best is what we should go with.

(Which in the current situation appears to be a vote for Hallowed Paths

)

Hallowed paths.

Lud · Post by **Lud** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 10:12 am

Hallowed Paths
(I'm not biased, no)

I will go with Hallowed paths.

I go with Sacred East because hallowed paths doesn't have to do anything with map2. I know a lot of the map and I saw very few hallowed paths.

Sacred East has meaning. 'Sacred' = Necrom, and 'East' indicates the location in Morrowind. 'Telvannis' indicated that we were developing Telvanni territory in Morrowind.

A cryptic name like Hallowed Paths means nothing to a downloader at ESF.

I thought this was already decided.

Sacred East. +1

Right, Sacred east rox! +1

Hemitheon · Post by **Hemitheon** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 2:43 pm

I guess Hallowed Path for me.

Lud · Post by **Lud** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 3:03 pm

The Hallowed is self-explanatory.
The paths are those between the various territories in map2.
There's another meaning in that the Hallowed Paths are those going back to the past. Map2 is full of really old places, in case nobody noticed. (Necrom, Dun Akafell, Kemel-Ze, Telvanni Library, etc)

I'll vote for Sacred East, if only out of vanity.

Lutemoth · Post by **Lutemoth** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 5:49 pm

Sacred East √
Morden states it perfectly

Andres Indoril · Post by **Andres Indoril** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 6:30 pm

Well, at least add the in front of Sacred East then... The Sacred East sounds better than plain Sacred East IMO

IAMTHEEMPEROR · Post by **IAMTHEEMPEROR** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 6:56 pm

I vote Hallowed Paths

Post by **Swiftoak** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 7:09 pm

Sacred East. It has more meaning, and seems more realistic and reasonable.

Jedak · Post by **Jedak** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 4:38 am

Hallowed East?

Just kidding.

Andres Indoril · Post by **Andres Indoril** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 5:03 am

Sacred Paths actually sounds ok :p

Jedak · Post by **Jedak** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 5:09 am

...re-vote, including hallowed east and sacred paths?

Serric · Post by **Serric** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 9:12 am

I vote for 'The' Sacred East...

Name suggestions will keep coming unless the person responsible for names decides that he's the one the take decisions. If you're still unsure, I suggest we just name it Telvannis: Borderline and be done with it.

aro101 · Post by **aro101** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 12:43 pm

I won't agree here with you El Scum. Telvannis: Borderline would let people think that we don't release something new and big, but only an addon to what we have.

Andres Indoril · Post by **Andres Indoril** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 12:53 pm

And it does include lots of me!

I mean...
Indoril...

Technically, it is an add-on to our released work, as every map we'll release from now on. While I don't see a good reason to brainstorm like this, I'm suggesting something in an attempt to save us the headache for this and every other map; Name each map according to the house that controls the most of it. If a house controls more than two maps, we just use a 'part1' or 'part2', or something more distinctive, like Telvannis:Homeland (map1) and Telvannis:Borderline (map2). I know it's not the most satisfying solution, but neither is Sacred East, since people keep suggesting names. Maps as diversive in terms of territorial control as map2 are hard to name properly, so let's get the problem out of the way by following a simple solution. I don't claim that mine's the best, I'm just presenting an example of the way it could work.

Tyrion · Post by **Tyrion** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 12:03 am

Yes but the Tribunal temple is the defining political/cultural faction in map2 even though they arent necessarily the largest. Besides why call it Telvanni:Borderline when it can just as easily be Indoril:Borderline. I'd go for the faction that will make this map unique.

The Sacred East for me unless you just want Map 2: Velothi or something.

Lutemoth · Post by **Lutemoth** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 12:09 am

You heard my vote. If this goes on any further, I'm going to lose interest.. and it's waning already

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 1:30 am

I throw my support behind sacred east

Post by **Haplo** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 2:32 am

Sacred East Wins. Thanks guys.
