Area Name, BECAUSE THE OLD TOPIC DIED WITH THE OLD FORUM Options

[Feral Phoenix]

We no longer have a topic for Riviera name origins, since we lost it with the old LCN.

BUT.

I discovered something interesting about the last area of chapter 5, "Pieta".

In the European Middle Ages, since the Christian Bible was written in Latin, groups of actors were employed by the church to teach biblical stories through Mystery and Morality plays; the latter involved a human soul being torn between sin and redemption and were basically variations on the same story with the same stock characters, one of which was Pieta.

Pieta was a symbol of the virtue of piety (or "faith"), and was often represented as the Virgin Mary grieving for Jesus.

I find that to be an interesting area name...
