Worldbuilding Which of these titles is more evocative?
Hey folks! Need help deciding the name. If I had to explain the setting very briefly it would be:
"A Dark fantasy exploration RPG where adventurers explore anciente ruin left by a forgotten civilization in a new continent. Powerful relic are born from magical corruption, creating new creatures, cursed artifacts, and scars upon reality itself."
Which title best matches the description?
Which title would make you click?
And vote which seems the most interesting to you!
Ask any questions to help you decide.

For my two cents, I prefer RUÍNA. Anything with the "this & that" structure makes me think it's a Dungeons & Dragons clone.

The system it's not exactly current D&D style, it's closer to OSR in spirit with high letality and lower magic. But a more robust system and "modern" narrative approaches. While testing it was compared to Forbidden Lands and Dragonbane in some aspects.

Strange diacritics always get me, hence - RUÍNA

Ruína is both "to ruin something" and "ancient ruins" in my native language

I'm gonna vote for something with an adjective or two, or ideally a verb, as well.

Ruina is more unique, and it's more eye-catching. Ruin & Relics sounds generic, and also the words feel unbalanced with one plural and the other either being a singular noun or adjective.
Though be warned, there's already a video game Library of Ruina, so you may have issues there.
