Golconda

was a city??? Thought it's a term for kind of enlightenment, not a place, with a meaning to the Salubri.

Golconda is a state that some Kindred can achieve by having true peace with their beast, which eliminates part of their Hunger
It's not a city or a place, it's like enlightement of Bouddha and so

It is a city. In India. Southern Deccan penisula. Capital of quite prosperous sultanate untill late XVII century, then conquered by Great Mogols, some local princes, then British. Link:

Also a town in Nevada:

Salout's putative enlighment took place in the former, of course Hence the name given to it.

EDIT: mayby we could go sightseeing after TFN is out?

He's right though, Saulot took a journey to the city of Golconda where he reached inner peace with his Beast. So now, the term "Reaching Golconda" is used when a Salubri in turn reaches inner peace.

Oh I didn't remember it was an actual city !

I knew Saulot had reached Golconda between India and China, but about the name itself...
I've learnt something, yay !

Gives Claudia a BIG *HUG*

It's an honor for a mere Methusaleh like me to enlighten an Antediluvian.

It's called recycling, and it's good for the environment. Another trick is to slap the word 'New' on the beginning, and it's a brand new name.

Yup, that "New" thing is what the English, French, and Dutch did when you still were colonies...

Spanish, too. The province of Nuevo Mexico eventually became the state of New Mexico. (Which some people from the East Coast still think is another country. Education in this country...)

All this talk about yankee name-thievery makes me want to found a town called "New-new-nuevo-neo-York-Hampshire-Orleans-London-Berlin-Toledo-Porto-PortPetersburgsonvilletown" from a city that belongs to someone else that is already doing well.

Hey, if you can talk the citizens into it, go for it.

You'll have to find someplace where they hav a lot of spare time.
NY city perhaps. Where they don't even have the time for their actually quite short name...

I'm up for Jadcity.

Postal services the world over would lynch me for the length of the town's name.

It would get shortened - Los Angeles anyone?

That was a good LAWL!

"El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula" has a ring to it.
