Animus...a rather ominous sound for a shelter. Do you know why it is named so?

[animusnpcs]

no

[crouching_sin]

One of the meanings of animus is 'soul'.

Ominous indeed.

[warriorscribe]

So I've read. We are souls, indeed, but we are not separated from our bodies, however, as I have learned in my own conversation.

It is amazing, that technology has enabled us to carry on several conversations at once this way.

The tower of souls.

[animusnpcs]

is that what it means?

[wittlich]

Based on the ancient Roman concept of animus, the soul.

It can also mean malevolent intent.

Or, along with anima, a concept Jungian psychology.

I'm guessing the first is most relevant, however.

[animusnpcs]

maybe

i didn't name it
