Even if you build a prison out of raw magic that involved hundreds of scrying eyes and magic mirrors so the warden can watch everyone at the same time, I'd probably have to come up with a different name for it. Like "The Hold of a Hundred Eyes" or something. Or the Scry-Fry Channel =p ParanoidObsessive posted... I'd be happy to loot any number of names/images from existing Tarot (or similar Tarot-ish cards, like, say, the Tarokka deck from Ravenloft), tbh, always kinda liked that setting. Then again, I like most things that combine fantasy with horror (Brothers Grimm being somewhat of an exception). ParanoidObsessive posted... Oh, here's another one to bounce off: If you were naming a gladiatorial arena in the same style as the above, which of these sounds better? The Blood-Soaked Arena The Blood-Soaked Sands The Colosseum The Dark Colosseum (or something similar) Why not just the Bloody Sands? It conveys the same idea as Blood-Soaked Sands. Of course, even if they're pit fighters, just don't go with the Bloody Pit because it has all kinds of other implications =p ParanoidObsessive posted... (Oh, and inspired by one of the above, would "The Wine-Dark Sea" be a more appropriate card for a shipwreck than "The Desolate Isle" or something like it? One describes where the catastrophe happens, the other describes where the victim ends up after...) Yeah, the Wine-Dark Sea is a better idea, especially since it opens up the door to things other than just deserted islands. For instance, there could be a cluster of shipwrecks forming some kind of a structure (ie, if a lot of planks, etc, get stock on seaweed or rocks) WhiskeyDisk posted... All this does is give me bad flashbacks to an infamous psycho ex of mine that was obsessed with: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmu_Borgir Music that was only marginally better than vogon poetry, and only by virtue of being in a language that I didn't comprehend in the slightest.
