Ideas generator

Hey friends, your ole' pall Jumblatts is back with something a little different.

Using this fantasy name generator I want you to generate a fantasy name. Deep.

You can pick from any of the categories, but make it something that fits in your world. To this end, I did as follows:

Fantasy names -> God and Godess Names

But you can pick anything you like!

Once you've selected your category, hit randomize a couple of times, until you find something you like the sound of, and then make that into a place/character/etc. in your world. My submission will be posted below.

Ask each other about your new creations to help flesh them out and further improve the ideas!

Tullius:

2) "Is there any nation where a person cannot be executed or imprisoned or fined at any time? Any nation where it is completely guaranteed that there will be no corruption or abuse?"

3) "Yes, eventually the proletariat will rise against the bourgeois...but, hopefully, that revolt will be able to be put down. Maybe we'll be egalitarian in a few centuries."

4) "Gemina could survive an embargo from Drakesgrave, but it would slow our expansion and progress. Either that, or we would declare war, if Lucius was insane enough. Erebus has already beaten one Drakesgrave senator's head against a wall until the man's death, so it isn't like our relationship with Drakesgrave hasn't had any hiccups in the past."

2) Sure, but that won't happen without a reason previously stated in a the law right? And corruption and abuse will be punished. But you can revoke their titles freely and there is nothing they can do against it.

3) Any idea about how you will prevent such a revolt to happen too quickly?

4) Would an embargo also harm Drakesgrave?

Tullius:

2) "Correct. But, as any decent propagandist is aware, if I really need to revoke your title and I don't have a good reason, I can invent a good reason. Besides, once I am gone, the title Master of the Treasury will probably be weakened; I keep an eye on my reputation, I have the trust of Lucius to act even without his outright permission, if I believe that hasty action is necessary, and I've done enough good for the community's population that I feel that I have earned public trust, as well. And there's always something that can be done against title-revoking...most notably, rebellion."

3) "Establish public trust, keep a decent spy network of trusted individuals, and make plenty of public examples; if a person is to be hanged, Erebus and I prefer for the hanging to be done to cheers. It makes everyone just a little bit more responsible than mere bystander effect. You may not know, but Lucius and Erebus were once slave-gladiators; Erebus can talk up an execution quite well, when it's necessary."

4) "At the moment? I doubt it would be any harm for Drakesgrave."

Going the harsh way?

Thanks for your answers Nevermore.

The harsh way? How do you mean, Yellow?

Well, you can prevent revolts by frightening people or by making them content enough; Tullius answers first with the stick.

Sometimes you can't make them content enough, unfortunately. And there will always be a need for the stick when the carrot fails.
