Targossas, the Dawnspear

Velyse

@Tvistor If Vaehl is Ilsa, does that mean that Xer is Laszlo?

Who is Renault? )

Ognog

I can't believe how quickly Targossas is changing and taking shape. Amazing!

Seftin

Targossas, the dawnspear. Home of the glittery votori

Rangor

Waterfalls are cool.

Gaia should make em randomly catch people and move them closer to the edge, at the edge they should be pushed off into the sea and drown.

Like how the lycopods kill newbs near mhaldor.

Haldon

Had a look around last night. I think it's going to be a great place to play. Even the approaches to the area are groovy man. I was apprehensive and a little paranoid so I didn't stay too long, but yeah even in its larval stage the new place looks good.

(Refugees of Shallam): Lenneth says, "What do we call ourselves now that we have a place?"

(Refugees of Shallam): You say, "I like Targossans."

(Refugees of Shallam): You say, "Though some people have adopted Targossians."

Lupine Ocelan Goggo says in a cold, empty voice, "Targossans sounds better, really."

You nod your head in agreement.

Tar-GOH-szians. Last syllable kind of a combination of shhians and szians.

Like Russians, apparently. And in that vein, I demand cossack hats and freezing weather.

You feel the temperature around you to be about -54 F (-47 C). A steady wind whistles past your ears.

Wish granted.

I'm rather amused at how big of a deal this name is becoming. It's a name. Get used to it!

Trevize calls it New Shallam.

My knight alt firmly believes it will fall into the sea, so hasn't bothered paying attention, but does call it Targossas when it is brought to his attention.

Prythe has been calling it "New Shallam" as well. That said, Prythe is still wondering what will happen about/with all the destroyed houses and shops.

Russians

ETA: Without the i, the s's would be sibilant, as in 'moss'

Silas

Just for that, sticking with Targossans. >:P

Tanaar

Hey, you said you wanted the last syllable to sound like 'Russian'. There's an i in that

Sarapis

Actually, Caucasian is probably better as a pronunciation comparison.. Three syllables. Tar-GOH-szhun

Is that how you people say it? To think this whole time I've just been calling you COCK-a-shuns.

Ryukishi

TargoZns!

Synbios

Russians, Caucasians and Asians, oh my! Looks like Targossas is multi-ethnic.

Tvistor

I am cool with being Russian.

Sabiru

Damn, new Gaia looks awesome

Edit: oops, that was on like page 1.

New guard: Mounted Commissars. 

Arlanda

Why does that guy there look like M-Bison from Street Fighter

Avto

Uh, I am Caucasian IG as well? Where's fun in that?

Mishgul

Targossaurus Rex. That will be your leaders name. Tyrannusaurus Rex his mortal enemy.

Kaevan

I quite like the layout and development of Targossas so far. You'll get to see and influence the building of your new city-state of Things Good and Shiny(TM) as well and there's already quite a bit of potential for conflict as you expand and develop. I'm looking forward to see what direction you all take it in. 

The name is fine. 

Fitz

I like what I've seen of it thus far, and everything I hear about the new direction I like, glad Good actually has a driving force behind it because it always seemed so scattered back in the day.

Mishgul

I like deucalion because his name has lion in it. Could it be any more awesome

Iocun

It's like a mixture of deuce, eucalyptus, and lion.

Synbios

Deuce = 2

Eucalyptus = insect repellent

Lion = Panthera leo

Being zapped by Deucalion is like being mauled by two lions with insect-repellent breath - at least your corpse won't get infested by flies. He's considerate like that.
