Historic Moment: "And I dub thee Aelandris!"


After some years, we have finally decided on a name. This is a monumental moment.


The Vault
This dank chamber echoes with low growls, hisses, and the eerie
scraping of claws against stone. The air is frigid and still, and
smells of the earth and the damp. This place, a vault of sorts,
is used to hold the most hideous monsters - the kind that haunt
the admins' worst nightmares. The Typo Demon and Writer's Block are
but two of the malevolent beasts kept here, sealed behind bars of
iron and steel, arcane wardings, and thick walls of solid stone.
However, on occasion, they have been known to escape...
Obvious exit: sideways
A Writer's Block is standing here.
Nevrei the Realmweaver is standing here.

You say in Common, "The MUD needs a name."

Nevrei says in Common, "This will not do."

You say in Common, "Because the system bu needs a MUDname in its desc :P."

Nevrei says in Common, "Lol yeah."

Nevrei says in Common, "I noticed."

You say in Common, "There needs to be a hint hint nudge nudge social ;P."

> Nevrei clones a Lag Monster.
Nevrei looks at a Lag Monster.

l lag
Evil beyond imagination, you see the horrid spirit of freezyness
and death from eventual disconnection. He halts the quick beat of
information and is aggravating to players and administrators alike.
His form is that of a giant purple wyrm, and only the great tuna
of speed can bop him into submission!
The abstract illusory is in top condition.


You say in Common, "Of course, now we're going to actually have to make the great tuna of boppage."

Nevrei says in Common, "That's your job ;)."

Nevrei says in Common, "Argh, what to name the world."

You laugh.

You ask in Common, "Does the Orb of Inspiration have any answers?"

You grin stupidly.

Nevrei says in Common, "Heh."

Nevrei looks at the orb of inspiration.
Nevrei looks at the orb of inspiration.

You say in Common, "Could just name is AUGH."

You chuckle.

Nevrei says in Common, "Eh."

You say in Common, "Ancient Vaelandri word meaning "I made the world and then couldn't decide what to call it." ;)."

Nevrei says in Common, "Haha."

You say in Common, "Either that, or llama cheese."

You say in Common, "Could always just name the MUD Altheria."

You say in Common, "Since, y'know, it is the main city."

Nevrei asks in Common, "Yeah but that name is taken too, isn't it?"

You ask in Common, "Is it?"

Nevrei says in Common, "Altheria.blogspot.com is."

You say in Common, "Oh darnit it is."

You say in Common, "Baaah."

You ask in Common, "Aelandri?"

Nevrei says in Common, "Too similar to vaelandri."

You say in Common, "That's what I mean."

Nevrei says in Common, "Aelandria."

You say in Common, "Since the major plot arcs will focus on the legacy of the Vaelandri."

You say in Common, "Or that, yeah."

Nevrei says in Common, "Hm."

Nevrei says in Common, "Might work."

You say in Common, "Kaelandri is guardians of the ether."

You say in Common, "Velandri is children of the ether."

You say in Common, "So aelandri or landri would mean ether."

Nevrei says in Common, "Yeah."

You say in Common, "Aleandria could mean..."

You ask in Common, "Story of the ether?"

Nevrei says in Common, "Aelandria appears to be unique."

You say in Common, "Or legends of the Ether."

You say in Common, "Ooh hmm."

You say in Common, "The continent, if not the world itself, could be Aelandria too."

You say in Common, "Place of Ether."

Nevrei says in Common, "Yeah I'd imagine the world would have that name."

You nod solemnly.

Nevrei says in Common, "And thus the mud."

You ask in Common, "So... do we have a world name?"

You ask in Common, "Aelandria?"

Nevrei says in Common, "Hm."

Nevrei says in Common, "Maybe."

Nevrei asks in Common, "Do you think it's too long?"

You say in Common, "Possibly."

You ponder.

Nevrei says in Common, "I was debating the benefits of having a short world name."

Nevrei says in Common, "Like 3 or 4 letters."

You ask in Common, "Aelan?"

You say in Common, "Or even Ael."

Nevrei says in Common, "Sounds like ale, lol."

You laugh.

You say in Common, "Not a bad thing in some cases."

You wink.

You say in Common, "Ooh Aelan is an actual word."

Nevrei says in Common, "What's it mean."

You say in Common, "To kindle, light, burn."

Nevrei says in Common, "Cool."

You say in Common, "Aelan might work for a name."

You say in Common, "Or Landria."

You say in Common, "Although that one sounds odd."

Nevrei says in Common, "Yeah."

Nevrei says in Common, "Sounds like we couldn't come up with anything better."

You ask in Common, "Hm Aelandris?"

Nevrei says in Common, "Ah."

You agree wholeheartedly.

You chuckle.

Nevrei says in Common, "Aelandris sounds better."

You nod solemnly.

Nevrei says in Common, "One less syllable."

Nevrei says in Common, "Yes."

Nevrei says in Common, "Let's make that the world name."

You cheer enthusiastically.

You say in Common, "And we can make a blog."

You laugh.

You dance around.

You exclaim in Common, "This is monumental, we have a WORLD NAME!!"

Nevrei cheers enthusiastically.

Nevrei says in Common, "Now the question is."

Nevrei says in Common, "Should that be the name of the mud."

You echo: And the heavens did split asunder and rain torrents of golden dumplings, as an angelic choir raised their voices in song and celebration....

Nevrei laughs.

You say in Common, "Oh."

You say in Common, "For lack of a better idea :P."

You say in Common, "Aelandris is good for a MUD name."

You say in Common, "Could translate, in Vaelandri, to 'ether-source' or something like that."

Nevrei says in Common, "Ok."

Nevrei says in Common, "Done and done."

You cheer enthusiastically.

You say in Common, "This is monumental."

You say in Common, "Making the blog."

You echo: and 'lo, it was blogged about.

Nevrei says in Common, "Haha."

Monumental indeed. We've been trying to come up with a good name for far too long.
