Umbral Choir Lore Vote 1: Home System Name!

Reply

Hot on the heels of our Lore Making-Of for the Umbral Choir, we're eager to have you take part in the finalization of the faction!



We put on our thinking caps and thought very hard about exactly what kind of name such a strange people would go for, and we think we've got three options you'll like! But first, here's a little more on the home system itself:




The Umbral Choir are outsiders to the Endless galaxy, and [NAME] is their hidden sanctuary from where they explore this new realm. As immaterial wraiths capable of infiltrating the logical foundations of machine and cybernetic systems, the Umbral Choir are masters of espionage, but, equally, are unable to colonize worlds by traditional methods. [NAME] is their answer to this conundrum. A medley of constructed interlocking rings, this artificial world acts as a bridge between the material and immaterial domains, permitting the Choir to fulfill their ambitions of ending the suffering in the galaxy.



This vote will run for two weeks. Here are the three options:

12 266 300

Nexus

8 622 700

4 760 500

I feel like Sjena could make a great option for both the silly and the serious. On the serious end, it's the shadow this sneaky faction resides in, their ultimate hiding place. In regards to sillines, my attempt to look it up for the translations took me a singer named Sjena first. For all I know, this is the Umbral Choir's equivalent to naming a new building Bob.

Edit: Note to Self: relearn how to write in a forum.

Nexus is a really classic sounding name.
Generic sure, but classic :) I would probably take that one.

I have to agree with some of the folks on this thread. Nexus sounds so generic and The Loop feels like it's somehting out of Dr. Who or Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.


Gonna have to go with Sjena but maybe this is where the community can throw in some ideas?

Nexus sounds great but it seems a little too technological for the Umbral Choir. I personally think that Sjena has a small background, seeing that it is not much of a known word in the first place and the fact this is a race that is supposed to be unknown, I think it is a good fit.

Well, I personally voted for Nexus.

Yes, it has been used over and over again, but I feel like Sjena or the Loop are just not fitting. This is a race from outer galaxy and completely different from any other. So a basic conception of what their "homeworld" actually is, might be the best. It is a nexus, a central point but also a linking as per description giving the Choir a place to start their invasion from outer space.

Storywise the big question is: will this be something like a portal that keeps spawning troops for the Choir or is it some kind of ark or spore that has been send to infiltrate this galaxy. No matter what, it seems like this is a scouting party and it is there to endthe suffering in the galaxy (as percieved by Umbral Choir) which probably means to end all material, mortal life forms?

Sjena because it sounds like a Swedish way of saying hello (tjena).

If that Ring-Sphere thing is the place for the Umbral Choir, it would be awesome (if it is in league with the fanatics from Endless Legends) if they thing would grow visibly. Like getting more rings until it actually almost resembles as turning and rotating planet #Dyson-Sphere

I'll let you in on a secret: it actually does grow. This is pretty much the final form that you see, it starts with just one ring structure, and additional ones and light arcs get added the more it levels up (if I got what Dagart told me right).

Cheers on that info!!! I'm really looking forward to see it! Well, maybe you can let me into some more secrets? Will this homeworld be moving? (I mean they came from somewhere else into this galaxy *ponders*)

Never played tall in any of these types of games, but I think I'll have to give it a try when these guys come out.
