Ichorescent

Ichorescent is the current release of the OHRRPGCE, after hróðvitnir.

It is named for an adjective for describing things that look like ghost blood. Eldar god blood? Starfish blood? Definitely something that looks like bloodlike stuff that isn't blood. See also bloodescent.

For nearly a solid year, the name was going to be icecream instead, but much to the dismay of all fans of the ancient Persian sweetened chilled drink, James realized that having the same codename as an Android OS release was a deal-breaker for him, so he rigged^H^H^H^H^H^Hrerolled the name selection.
