This is the discussion page for Underworld.
Here, you may discuss improving the article.

Name

This realm, as presented in-game, is called "The Underworld" consistently. As such this article should be renamed "Underworld", or failing that, "Underworld (realm)", in the case we wanted to make "Underworld" a disambiguation page. This being the case if we were to categorise Elysium as part of the Underworld, since according to Greek myth it technically is part of it. However I do not remember if this fact is brought up at all in Odyssey itself. I propose a move as per these. I'd actually be willing to move it right now and correct all links and stuff. — Zero-ELEC (talk) 06:33, July 16, 2019 (UTC)

There are times wherein the word Hades is specifically used to denote the place; (off the top of my head) for example Aya in AC: Origins mentions "going through Hades" and similar. There is also the fact that when applicable, the real world term is used instead of the in-game variant, for example with the River Thames (in-game referred to only as 'Thames').

Both Hades and Elysium, together (and with other realms), make up the Greek underworld and as such, I feel that moving this article would confuse matters more than they, apparently, already are. As Sadel has pointed out, Origins refers to the realm specifically as "Hades" and it is referred to as such at least once in Odyssey as well. The article is currently disambiguated clearly, so I see no reason for the article to be moved. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 08:50, July 16, 2019 (UTC)
