(Announcement) The First City Has a Name!

By combining Russus (Latin word for Red, I think) with Morrus, I've decided that I'd like to name the town that the Red Dragon Inn is based in:

Orussus Trade City

Does that work for people? It's not 'perfect' like I was hoping to find such a name, but when I found Russus, it seemed to make sense.

The name I like much.

The latin not so much. Russus is at the very best very very late latin. Classic latin for red would be rubeus (hence ruby). Sorry I'm not saying this to nitpick, but if you judges feel you want to give something a latin, ancient greek or italian appearance, I'd be glad to help.

I'll keep that in mind, LH.

Hmm... looks like someone wants to use the city naming system from FFT...

FFT?
I guess am in the tiny minority in that I don't spend endless hours playing video games.
