RSWIL - Bill 55

Bill 55 was a bill forwarded in the Wumpian Counci l, purposed to designate a new name to Cortex island in order to remove the island from its tumultuous past. The decision was largely politically motivated, and moves were made deliberately in an effort to distance the Wumpa Archipelago from the Mutant Vortex Crisis and create a new identity for itself.

As the colonial phase of the Wumpa Initiative was just beginning, all former traces of the Cortex Corporation's presence on the island were also being removed. The castle and other important sites however remained, for the purposes of study and historical importance.

In a vote, the island was decided to be renamed after Eric Rochelle, a general who died during the Battle of Cortex Island. Suggestions were also made to rename the island after the original Lemurian title, but this request was justifiably removed.
