[Mor's End Discussion] Time to open shop!

Ruler...grandma (Like the Queen of England, well known spokeperson.)

Can we not do the grandma thing, please? Seriously, it's weird. Weird the way calling the city Entropy or Entropia is weird, IMO.

If you want to do the well known spokesperson and have her be female then do it with some... you know. No offense meant to Eric's Grandma but it's just too freaky.

we want the EN World City Project to be accepted by all EN Worlders and hopefully attract new people to the site, correct?

Having Eric's Grandma as the city ruler will confuse people.

Cheers!

Hi guys! Just found this thread at random. Is there any particular reason there's no link from the poll in D&D General?

Anyway, I would vote for Kul Moren, if it weren't for the fact that you already have 243 votes in the poll...

One comment about the map: a complex delta like that tends to be a very bad place for a harbor and for a city. It sort of implies a very active river bed (river constantly shifting - like the Mississippi) and floods that carry a lot of sediment downstream (Mississippi or Nile). Not to mention the issue of diseases because of the swamp/stagnant water. You're probably much better of with a simpler delta with a few large islands (see the St. Lawrence map). I'm not sure, but it may also be a bad place for clay (too sandy?) Someone with more knowledge of geography - feel free to correct me!

Here's a compromise on the city's ruler...

Title: Lady Kelvin (This is a reference to Lord Kelvin... which in turn is a subtle reference to Entropy.)
Name: Nonna Deleric (bastardized italian that means Eric's Grandmother)
Class(es): Rogue/Sorcerer/Aristocrat

Someone else can come up with the actual stats... as I'm sort of a newbie to 3e.

What do y'all think?

Oh, and a vote in favor of Eric's Grandma. She would be the unseen force behind the scene, a very shadowy figure. There would be a mayor or some other official who rules in her name, but nobody has ever seen Eric's Grandma, or knows who Eric is, how old she is (she seems to have always been there), where she lives, etc.

You know, i could live with this compromise.

This is just for starters: The Lady Kelvin, Nonna Deleric (LN female human Ari4/Rog8/Sor8).

Conaill, you want to stat her out?

Since we were thinking the river flowed 'out' of the lake, not in--there would prob. not be a delta. Doesn't that usally happen at the end of the river. Conaill does have a good point. Map might need updating.

 

[Lalato]

Hi Conaill...

That's a good point... Perhaps we should more closely model the St. Lawrence...

By the way, Lake Ontario pushes water into the St. Lawrence. That's why it doesn't have a delta. If the St. Lawrence was flowing into Lake Ontario, you might see a delta like the Missisippi or Nile.

If we reverse the flow of the river... it would alleviate the problem of flooding in the city. However... that might also eliminate the plausibility of swamps nearby.

Not necessarily, Sam. They might just be farther downstream--in other words, on the opposite side of the city from the lake.

A bigger problem in my literal mind is that swamp and clay beds don't go together. At least, I don't think so. But I'm not a geologist.

A further compromise for Conaill on Eric's Grandmother...

Lady Kelvin has a deep dark secret... she lives a second life as a man... As Erek Noahn she is the leader of the [insert Mage's Council or Merchant's Guild]... giving her complete control of everything that goes on in the city.

No one has ever seen Erek Noahn and Lady Kelvin together... there are rumors in the city that they are lovers... no one suspects the truth.
