Talk:Spiral Yssgaroth

In reply to Thread:225477: The Pit never uses the phrase "Yssgaroth's universe" and never gives a proper name to it. The Book of the War uses "Yssgaroth universe" early in its discussion of the Yssgaroth:
 * The beings referred to in old House lore as the “servants” of the Yssgaroth - small fragments of its mass, or the genuine gigantic, misshapen occupants of the Yssgaroth universe? - began to swarm into the structure of history even as that history was being born.

Here, the universe is being referred to by the fact that the Yssgaroth come from it, just like an outsider to N-Space might refer to it as the "Time Lord universe", even though that's not what it's actually called. Two paragraphs later, the Book introduces the term "Spiral Yssgaroth" as, in context, a better phrase for the same concept:
 * Though no pure matter from the “Spiral Yssgaroth” survives, Yssgaroth biomass can hybridise and corrupt by its very presence.

This edit summary is correct in that "Spiral Politic" is not fully equivalent to "N-Space", but that's no reason to disqualify "Spiral Yssgaroth" as a name for their universe, since "Spiral" is never defined and the Book frequently uses it to refer to N-Space as a whole.

I suppose that the alternative to renaming Yssgaroth's universe would be to (1) create a page called Spiral Yssgaroth to hold all of the information currently on Yssgaroth's universe; (2) rename Yssgaroth's universe to Yssgaroth universe, since that's a term from a DWU source; and then (3) change Yssgaroth universe to just say "The Yssgaroth universe was the universe containing the Spiral Yssgaroth. (PROSE: The Book of the War)"

Or, even easier, (1) move Yssgaroth's universe to Spiral Yssgaroth, and (2) create Yssgaroth universe to say "The Yssgaroth universe was the universe containing the Spiral Yssgaroth. (PROSE: The Book of the War)" I'll leave it for an admin to decide which option is easier. – N8 ☎ 18:03, November 12, 2017 (UTC)
