why Blacklight? why the name?

[Razorwing]

That's very interesting, thanks LN! I think I've seen that article once or twice but *cough* as strange as the descriptions seemed, I haven't read the preamble before. So I take it the game would automatically generate "Title Name" every time you played, where the writer used "King Bubba". So that would probably be why he used such a silly name - to make it obvious that it wasn't based in real lore? At least I would imagine so.

I don't know how closely we would need to rely on the document, but it does give a very nice insight into what inspired some of Bethesda's choice of town names. I never knew the titles Firewatch and Blacklight both allured to Red Mountain halfway between them, but in hindsight it makes perfect sense.

Could the name be connected to something of an undead nature?

One thinks of Dark Magics in Ancient Days spreading a pall over the land...

Perhaps it was the focus of a powerful and evil spell

Maybe it was considered a haven for those dedicated to evil in Ancient Times...
