Hmm, as far as alternative names, Sunset of an Empire sounds kinda cool to me.
That sounds ok, but it wouldn't reflect properly the setting and the game. Decadence was a more generic name and things could work out either way from there. The Sunset (fall, decline, etc) is too specific and restricting, as PC would be able to influence events a lot and even start the "rise of the empire" process.
Anyway, since everyone hates the Age of thing, let's talk about names. Here is the story overview:
You acquire a map, the map leads to a forgotten temple (as all maps should). The temple used to belong to some deity who played some role in the war that caused the decline. What role, whose side the deity was on, was there any deity in the first place is unclear. It was a few hundred years ago, and all that's left are legends and ruined cities. The legends say that there was a war, and it was so horrible that both sides called for some supernatural forces that fought alongside men. Then again, legends always say that. What happened next is the part that nobody is sure of.
Today three major Houses run what's left of the Empire. All of them would be interested in that temple for various reasons. The gameplay revolves around learning about the map, figuring out the location of the temple, learning about the temple, the war, and related events, making alliances that would help you find and reach the temple, and finally dealing with the temple.
So, what do you think such a game should be called? Temple of the Last God? Some geographical name (Daggerfall, Avernum, etc)? Something to do with the temple? Ideas are welcome.
