PrimeJunta Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Icks-a-mittle, in a British rather than 'Murican accent. I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free. It's a work in progress. Find it here: www.brikoleur.com
sparklecat Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Icks-aah-mit-uhl is how I've been reading it. Stress on the second syllable. That's probably wrong, because it's the way it'd be pronounced where I live.
Rosveen Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Is this a backer NPC name? Not sure if serious, but... It's a region in Eora, home of the savannah folk. The Ixamitl Plains.
Longknife Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Is this a backer NPC name? It's a country....or whatever the hell people in the Pillars universe have. It's a field or something where a bunch of Orlans and humans dance around naked, farming and ****. 1 "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far.

Mungri Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Oh I swear there's also a backer NPC with that name.
Caerdon Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 It's a field or something where a bunch of Orlans and humans dance around naked, farming and ****. I so much want the sequel to take place there.
Elgyn Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Is this a backer NPC name? It's a field or something where a bunch of Orlans and humans dance around naked, farming and ****. So it's basically the music video to Safety Dance? My next character is so from there.
Mortal Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 the name sounds meso-american. might be inspired by some Aztec/Olmec/Mayan name. i guess if you try to spell it like some meso-american name it may be easier? if you ever played one of the civ games, some of those pre-columbian nations had similar city names. even if you never played civ games you probably heard some of the more prominent names like "Tenochtitlan" or "Chichen Itza" in some context (i'm sure i made at least one spelling mistake in one of the two name ). not really sure from the in-game lore if there is a connection to those cultures, though.
scrotiemcb Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 The word is pronounced (voice-acted) by Kana Rua when you first meet him. During the part where he discusses his, um, previous relations with a certain group. 1
Varana Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 The name is definitely based on Mesoamerican languages, esp. Nahuatl (the language of the Aztecs) - there is even a very similar word in real Nahuatl (Ixamatl, apparently meaning "map" :D). As a Nahuatl word, it would be pronounced something like "ishámatjl" (difficult to render with English orthography; IPA for tl is tɬ ). As scrotiemcb said, however, Kana Rua pronounces the word and clearly says "iks-". Also, Ixamitl doesn't really have anything to do with Mesoamerican culture, except the name. 2 Therefore I have sailed the seas and come To the holy city of Byzantium. -W.B. Yeats Χριστός ἀνέστη!
