Yes, Lady Nerevar, of course, Lady Nerevar, whatever you say, Lady Nerevar ... forgotten to take your medicine again?
 Good call to revise the poll and thanks a lot to SwedishFish for making this possible. Greetings Quentin
That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs, but what a ship is - what the Black Pearl really is - is freedom.

I still think that Outer Lands has the best ring to it, memorable, people can spell it for search engines (the main problem with Cyrodiil), and it's rythmic. I also don't think of "outer" like "outer rim" in Star Wars or "outback" in Australia. Outer simply means not the core, maybe with a hint of wildness to it, but each of our mods so far has a sense of wildness (Skyrim is the untamed North, Argonia is the untamed Jungle with Imperials at the edge, Elswyr is the hostile desert with a loose Imperial overrule, and Morrowind is barely subjected via treaty to the Empire. So unless someone comes along and decides to make docile and thoroughly Imperialized versions of Valenwood, High Rock, Hammerfell, and Summerset Isle, I think that a hint of wildness is perfectly in-keeping with our community. If we were going to do something beyond "outer" like Akavir, we can always name that something else, like Frontier.
Beyond Cyrodiil has second place in my book though. |

Beyond Cyrodiil's Boudaries is definately too long. The Outer Lands is okay, but it doesn't sound like it has to do with Tamriel at all. Dawn of the Empire and Empire both don't make much since, because the Empire doesn't have control of it all... and The Lands Revealed makes it seem that we've never seen the lands before...
Beyond Cyrodiil is by far the best on there. It's even sounds awesome. :yes: |

Swedishfish told me that he agrees that Beyond Cyrodiil would be best, and it isn't quite fitting for his own mod anyhow... he was thinking maybe Black Marshes or something for the argonia mod

Wondered if we are going to be linking into the Plane of Oblivion? That might affect a name's apropriateness.
Also if it is to be an umbrella name will it be the website's name? That might cause problems for people trying to access here. Last thought is that it would be good if both memorable and short, like Oblivion? Dang, someone already got that name, curses.

It seems reasonable that someone might want to add the other areas of Oblivion to the game, too, like Moonshadow, the Shade Perilous, the Colored Rooms, etc, and it seems reasonable to go with this group, too. But I agree that it really needn't have anything to do with the title - Oblivion is certainly 'Beyond Cyrodiil' or 'Outer' - most of the names would fit Oblivion just as well.

Ah, moonshadow, that's beautiful.
That reminds me, what are the names of the sun and moons over Nirn? Because you might turn those around to something like: under sun's light; or this moon's light or that moon's light... And in doing so bring in a new Lore Focus...

The Sun, I guess, is called Magnus. It's actually the gigantic hole torn in Oblivion by Magnus when he decided he'd had enough of creation...
There are several names for the moons (there're two), but the most common are Masser (larger) and Secunda (smaller).

not sure if they are the thing
- but I have a very strong affection for th name Silgrad - I like the name: The Silgrad Embassy Could each mod becomes an embassy of its own name! Better than Guild = overused I thought So what would the umbrella name be for an Embassy System? The (Nirnian?/something) Diplomatic Community? c'mon, try playing around with this...please? Is there something of us that links to this? That defines us? very rough diamond this - play with it - I have a feeling
