After revealing the secret that the IEC Telegram is a interactive story, and making it slightly farther down the path, it's come to my attention that our city needs a name! So, to fix that, in this channel send name submissions and by the end of the week we will have a poll to see what the name of our city is. There are a few rules of course:

  1. Name has to be English
  2. Nothing more than 2 words
  3. None of the listed: New London, New Liverpool, The Arks, Legacy, New Manchester, Winterhome, Sanctuary
  4. Proper names, feel free to send joke ones but they won't be added to the poll
  5. less a rule, but be creative!

The City Backstory

The city was built at site 108, and slowly would began to make its spot there. The people came upon three dreadnoughts, and would make use of them to survive and industrialize. There was supposed to be more cities, but like other sites, there was just 1. Order was begun to give purpose to the people, while the educated took command as leaders. The days go on, and with a establish city and now multiple outposts, the city grows.

Dreadnoughts 352 353 354 are the numbers of the dreadnoughts came upon

People are british and most came from all over England

There is a major push for expansion and exploration

The city is placed within a canyon that is wider than the base game map, with rifts on the far left side

For all those who want to think about it with some info

"Mortal Engines"
This is a reference to Shakespeare's Othello
The full quote from Act III, scene iii is said by Othello himself:

"O you mortal engines, whose rude throats
The immortal Jove's dead clamours counterfeit,
Farewell! Othello's occupation's gone!"

#

Also a reference to the book Mortal Engines

Attention captains of Frost Telegram!

Friday/tomorrow a group of names from those given that fit the three criteria's will collected and prepared for a large vote in the main channel. Till then, any last minute names can be added in this thread. In #🎨│11_bit_art I compiled a list of all city names you can get in the base game, so feel free to use those as ideas

The three criteria's
1: Fit for british survivors
2: Is not longer than 2 words
3: Makes sense for a city name in the setting
