Slums Location Mapping [ Territory Etc Name Suggestion Thread ]

[Conflee]

Introduction:
Ill keep the introduction short because this is going to be a big post: I am creating a Territory/Location map of the Slums for crime use, and I have a ton of cinematic screenshots of locations that need names. Im going to post the screenshot, list off notable things in the area, and where it is roughly, and let players suggest names for the locations. The most popular names will be used in the final Territory Map post. If a place doesn't get any suggestions, or the ones are meme-tier mess, Ill just pick a name I think is fitting, but I'd rather things be named by other people.

Already-Named Locations:
These locations are being listed as they are used as reference for other locations' location. They have names already and dont need any.

Fort Blackhallow

Spoiler: Images

Details: The gang base in the South West corner of the slums, as the name implies it is a fort, and one of the more secured locations in the Slums.

Spoiler: Images

Details: The large, raised-Aqueduct stretching from the Mountains, over the walls, and into the Slums. Features various housing locations.

The Aqueduct Base

Spoiler: Image

Details: A fort-castle on top of the end of the Aqueduct. While run down, it is highly defensible, though also easy to lay siege to.

The Rat Court

Spoiler: Images

Details: A large structure surrounded by old, burned housing. Once a temple to the Old Gods, its ruins have since been rebuilt and re purposed as a meeting hall for the Rat Court. Located in the North West Corner of the Slums.

The Cistern

Spoiler: Images

Details: A large, erm, Cistern. Stretching under the Aqueduct and beyond a little ways. Featuring many bridges, and a base known as the Slaughter House, this is another of the most defensible locations in the Slums, Located right at its heart as well.

The Dark Lady Emporium

Spoiler: Images

Details: A large, abandoned Cathedral converted into a retched hive of scum and villainy. And other businesses. MANY businesses. And a Bar. Located right through the Slums Gate (If you somehow miss it you need to stop playing games, your eyes have been turned to ash by the lights somehow).

The Slums Gate

Spoiler: Images

Details: The main way in-and-out of the Slums, this gate is heavily fortified, with two thick gates, a large gatehouse, several towers, and walls forming a courtyard city-side, ensuring any large assaults out of the slums are squashed with ease.


To Suggest:

Simply respond to this thread with the Location (IE Loc-12) and a suggested name. be creative, dont name them after characters (Vague references are fine) and have fun! Ill be compiling the best in a week or two into a final Locations Listing.

[Miss_Confined]

Loc-2: "The Lost Hammer" or "Old Man's Rusty Stand"
I thought it looked rundown and largely nonfunctional. I like to think some crazy old fellow likes to pretend he's a blacksmith there.

 

[Lyee]

Reminds me of something I've been wanting to do with Factions. Hit me up with that DM Conf <3
Loc 7: "Piper's Way" - I don't know any characters named Piper, but that seems like a fitting name for this place. It makes me think of a somewhat sacred location, and a peaceful one. But also were something terrible has happened.

 

[EndersGameboy]

Loc. 24: "Dead Man's Oak" I thought this was a good name because the tree seemed all lonesome, and it reminded me of the pangs of death. Also, notice the potted plants. It makes me think someone died there or was buried there, and that was why people put plant there. Also, they shadowy, alley it's in it just downright creepy.
Loc. 18: "The Hive" This is not preferable, but you said it was almost like a market, so I instantly thought of large crowds bustling around, much like bees do in Hives. Then I realized it's mostly run down by trees and other plant life. At first I pushed aside the name, "Hive," until I realized the place was its own hive of vegetation.
Loc. 19: "Vanishing Point" This may not be the best name because it is very situational, but numerous times has my old Vampire character been chased into this intersection, and it's here that he usually escapes from sight because there are so many different directions to choose from (Left, Right, Forward into the Vampire District, Backwards, Down into the Well, Up into a tree, or even into a nearby house). And it's not just me. I used to live in one of the houses near there, and sometimes I have seen people do the same thing there.

 

[Wumpatron]

Loc 15 is Daddy's Swingset. Underneath that tree is a lot of dead things. And milk. And cake, old and stale cake, but cake none the less

 

[The Unknown]

Loc-1: Hangman's Pass (Hanged Man's Pass)
Loc-13: No Man's Land

 

[TribunalTemple]

Location 13, my house. You damn kids better stay off of my lawn.

 

[HoshiWomp]

Loc-8: Royal Oak Opening

This is being canceled for now due to massive reworking of the slums by World Staff. Once the Slums is in a finished state again I will restart with a new thread and updated information etc.
