Good morning #Septopolis. If you're using this to build something and haven't picked one yet, take today and ponder it (I did this last year in fact!). Then, tell us about how it got this name. It could be serious and directly from in-world or it could be a silly in-joke amongst your friends.

This was likely not the original name of the first settlements that became it, but one that was born out of it gradually consuming neighboring smaller settlements into a larger, reinforced amalgamation. Because yeah, it kind of became something frighteningly great.

Ashbury Heights: this is the name of one of my favorite music groups and I wanted to make a nod to them because it’s also got that perfect kind of neighborhood/subdivision kind of name. In universe, it’s probably named after Some Guy/Gal/Pal with the surname Ashbury.

Miralleda: in old notes, this section has been referred to as the Mirror District. It has a purpose in MaMo’s time and I wanted to make a nod to PPG Place back where I grew up. But now I’ve given it a newer name thanks to the aforementioned Coreloceans. It’s still mirrors. A lot of them.

Is it Heights because it is higher up in the city? Does it have a good view? 👀

I am a fan of vibes-based naming. That's a cool meaning for such a big city.
