Oh boy, it's poll time! (I love polls.)

Now that we're going to be creating adventures set in our new dark fantasy/sword and sorcery world (don't worry, Dungeons & Lairs will still be setting agnostic), I need a name for the world.

After all, Dark Sun has Athas, Mörkborg has The Dying World, and Conan has Hyboria.

And like those other settings, this is a dark, awful world filled with crude cronies serving diabolical, vile wizards, wretched, aberrant gods, and terrifying, unspeakable monstrosities. The average person struggles to find their way in the world. And those who don't know the song of steel sow the earth with their bones.

Below are some randomly generated names. 

Pick the one thing you think sounds coolest.

They're taking the hobbits to Eringard! *checks notes* Isengard ... I meant Isengard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X-AF7fOzW0

"And those who don't know the song of steel sow the earth with their bones." Best. Tag. Line!

That odd feeling when my choice is already the most popular one...

So this spells the end of Omeria eh?

I like Eringard because it sounds good, is short, and we will all pronounce it the same :)

My wife's name is Erin. Dave's description hit a little to close to home to pick that one. 😂😂

We could pull a Dragon Age, The Sword & Sorcery Setting, “Thesass”. Hm, no…maybe it needs an apostrophe somewhere.

I mean, if you go with Helkara, You can literally tagline every adventure with "Welcome to Hel' >:D" and its not canonically weird to say 'What the Hel are you doing!?'

"Hel-" anything is too on the nose, right?!

I'll step out of voting on this one - "a dark awful world..." etc. sounds like something I'd have zero interest in playing/using. Nothing against those who do, so best of luck, but not my thing personally. What else will there be going forward?

No such thing in RPGs. I mean, there's monsters called... rust monsters. :D

Omeria is shelved right now while I enter my moody, punk-rock phase following the OGL kerfuffle.
