We here at Tales of Lumin and Mitarn need your help! We are desperately trying to find a fitting street name for a street in the Tarn Docks District and you could win one of two Starcraft II Beta Keys by giving your suggestions!
Before you go on and just give a random name, we would like to give you a little background information about the area this street is located in. This may be a bit confusing if you know nothing about the Tales of Lumin lore, never fear though! You can read up about anything Lumin related over at the facebook page. (Check the notes section) Below is a snippet from the Tarns Slums Notes, this piece covers the Docks District. The street name we are looking for is the main road of this district. It runs through most of the district and passed directly infront of The Fist Arena and Tavern. (See the full map here) That is all we ask of you, if you manage to come up with a really brilliant street name, you will be given one of the two keys and you may find your suggestion published in our upcoming book! That is an alluring offer if there ever was one. See below for a few rules you have to follow.
At the western side of Tarn, bordering the Market and Slums Districts is the Docks District. This area has been unused and abandoned by the Tarn Officials for the last decade or more due to the constant gang activity. The Docks District consists mostly of heavily weathered wooden buildings, taller than those in most districts of the Slums and not as tightly packed. Most of which were previously owned by the many shipping companies that used to operate from Tarn.
To those still brave or desperate enough to trade with the Prallian people, the Tarn Docks became far too unsafe to risk. Given the amount of Lumite the Prall unearth compared to the other races of Lumin, some are still willing to take the necessary risks to get their hands on some of the precious crystals. Most ships now drop anchor at the coastal village of Marog, northeast of Tarn. For that reason the Docks District was all but handed over to the gangs. The warehouses and storage facilities are now either full of homeless Prall, serving as headquarters to one of the numerous gangs of the Slums or converted into some form of entertainment for the locals. Soon after the fall of the Docks District one of the more opportunistic gang leaders converted a huge warehouse in the Docks District into an arena and tavern, known by all in Tarn simply as the ‘The Fist’. Weekly fights take place in the arena with all the gangs pitting their best fighters against one another. Many Slums locals spend what little money they have betting on their favorites to win, only to lose it all in a heartbeat to the ever unpredictable arena. The victors in the Fist Arena are hailed as champions by the locals, famous, till the day their title is stripped by the next challenger. In recent years, with the rise of The Fist Tavern and Arena, the Docks Districts popularity grew, with more and more entrepreneurial Prallians finding ways to entertain the locals and empty their pockets in the process.
The Docks District has become an entertainment hub for many Tarn residents. Though the old piers in the Docks District still remain intact, they are a far cry from what they used to be. Few Tarn residents still use the piers for fishing and even fewer have been able to hold onto boats. Any fish caught at the piers is well received; fresh food is always hard to come by in Tarn, and always yields a good price on the Tarn Markets.
