Hey yeah so the recent Name My Setting thread seemed like a really good idea, especially since I have my own problem naming my setting. So, I'd appreciate any feedback at all (I would prefer naming feedback, but even comments on my setting concept are welcome).
Okay, so in the beginning of this world, all was normal (think Forgotten Realms or generic setting such as presented in core books). Then, app. 250 years ago, everything changed. The overlord Tineri Yuloth went crazy killing all his subjects in a massive genocide, and then turned out to be an ancient evil vampire lord named Nevermore. So anyways, he gets "killed" by an adventuring party, and vanishes.
Ten years later, the worlds climate drops twelve degrees in one month. This catastrophic drop in temperature brings about great cataclysms (i.e. earthquakes, volcanoes, etc.). Nevermore returns, with an army of undead from his genocide and the natural disasters.
This is pretty condensed, I have like ten pages of special rules and a timeline and other fun stuff, if you want to see any of it let me know. But basically, this is now a world at war, with about twenty official armies and several major deities involved in the conflict. The world is completely locked down from the rest of the multiverse, so is basically a bottled up plane of conflict.
Again, any and all feedback is appreciated. Also, if you have any questions that would help you figure something out, feel free to post away.
Must....fight......for........air.....
Okay, anybody have input?
I dunno man. It seems you have the best title you could right there in the name of its recurring villain.
Nevermore.
The name is evokative and cool, but speaks to the core crisis of the setting. I'd pick it up and look at it.
Your campaign has such a strong central theme that it's hard for me to think of a title for the setting without making it sound like the title of an adventure or campaign. "Coldfire" is the closest thing I could think up that might also fit as a setting name. If I think of anything else, I'll post it.
"Take thy steak from out my heart,
and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the vampire, "Nevermore."
Is there something greater that Nevermore is seeking? A secret? A weapon? Is there something greater that the PC's would be seeking? A defense against Nevermore? Peace? Usually both the PC's and Nevermore would be searching for the same thing (for different reasons of course).
If you can name that one thing, you've got the name of your setting.
How about "Cold Iron"?
Ultradan
Well, Nevermore is working on the construction of fortresses known as Darkprism Pylons across the globe, which will increase the range of the necromantic energy in his primary weapon (think Death Star) called the Deathlegion Prism.
Maybe Darkprism? I don't know for sure. Any other thoughts or ideas?

Shades of Black?
Sounds like a cool setting. :)
