Chaos in Waychester renamed??!!

CHAOS IN WAYCHESTER is my premier (or at least I mean that in the sense that it's first) 5x5 front. The name Waychester has been around for many years; since the very beginning of Dark•Heritage Mk. V, if not IV even. That said... I've never really loved the name; it was kind of a place holder. It is fine for a game, but this place holder name really isn't going to cut it if I attempt to adapt the concept into a story. Not only is it not a great title, but neither Waychester nor Dunsbury are actually super great names. They're fine for small towns, but as the major cities, I think they leave something to be desired. I've generated a few new names, but these may be placeholders too while I think more on what I may call Waychester and Dunsbury, and what I'd call the front.

Wilkergrave

Hambleton

Eldrede

Woodleigh

Haytere

Kimbleburg

Walmsleye

Accrington

Ormskirk

Garen's Well

Osgarport

Cynericport

Garenport

Romseyburrough

Of these, I think Garenport (or Osgarport or Cynericport) would probably be best for Waychester, while maybe Accrington or Kimbleburg would make a better Dunsbury. But I'll continue to think on it. I may find better alternatives than either of those. I do want to have an old school Anglo-Saxon type name, but I don't want it to sound too cozy or bland. 

Sigh. Why do I make things more complicated and difficult for myself? Hopefully because it makes them better, right?

Anyway, here's an old favorite 4e D&D picture of mine that could be a night-time scene at the docks of either Waychester/Garenport or Dunsbury/Accrington/Kimbleburg.


Shadows Over Garenport? I don't know yet. But I'm leaning towards it, or something like it.
