Can you do better than "Urbanus"?

[Brennin Magalus]

I agree with the folks who think Urbanus is uninspired. So, I would like to be the first to take up the challenge to do better. My submission is:

Polieus--guardian of the city (masculine nominative singular)

 

[Crothian]

even Crothian is better then Urbanus...

 

[Nightfall]

Hedrada...oh wait you meant made up deities of cities.

Right; your real world religion is not allowed here.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Silvanus -> Forests

Urbanus -> Cities

...is it really all that bad? And even if it is, is it so hard to ignore? D&D thrives on cheesy names, anyway.

Yes, but isn't Crothian already the name of the divine conqueror of the post count?

the proble i think is when you say Urb-anus.

people like the anus word. it make them giggle like little school girls

 

[Brennin Magalus]

Silvanus -> Forests

Urbanus -> Cities

Nautius Maximus -> Things best left unsaid

Metroen? Gradilus? Stadinor? Civus? Municius? Cidadus? Publius? Citta? Ropoa?

My favorites: Burghal or Oppidan. (see www.onelook.com)

I asked my wife initially - she's not a regular gamer, so she lacked context for the question, but she has a good amount of knowledge of gods and goddesses. She suggested Athena - a goddess of the hunt, who was also the patron goddess of a preeminent city. I like it, but wonder if Athena's name wouldn't be too hard to get past in any non-Earth setting....
