    Discussion and edits concerning the world map of Eizon can be posted here. Please don't drastically change the content of the World Map without posting here explaining what you're editing and why so everyone's on the same page. I'll keep the most up-to-date map that is generally agreed upon added to this post for easy access.

    I think we should keep the existing geographical map and then re-start the countries etc. from scratch. This allows for a quick start while still allowing for a lot of customisation. I don't see any real need to change the geography, though.

    EDIT: You should probably link to the world map in your original post.

    Done. For simplicity's sake, we'll begin with the original Annifontia map from Eizon: Rebirth! OP edited with the map.

    That's... not Eizon. xD That's Europe! There was a full Eizon map that we came up with at some point, a completely unique one.

    xD I browsed but didn't see it in the original one. It must be hidden away in one of the deep, dark threads somewhere. I'll have to look in a bit.

    Look for a stickied thread in one of the main Eizon forums. I think it's by Proto. I checked but my work seems to have blocked the images so I don't know which one.

    This post by Nait holds an attachment of a nice clean map of Eizon.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I'll take Ireland, or the island on the most left side, if you will.

    In the other "Nait" map, I'd like the island on the left corner, with the U-shaped mountains.

    I updated the OP to show the "clean" map that Agent Proto linked to. If anyone wants to make some minute changes so that it's not the exact same, that's fine. It's up to you guys.

    Aerith's Knight, let's start by coming up with some Locations. Naming the islands and continents would probably be a good start. When it comes time to claim an area, it'll most likely be a single city that you'll control but we'll have to wait until we get the world built before we start doing that.

    Who's got names for places on the World Map?

    Those are not islands, they're continents.

    All names added. I placed a scale on the map for reference. 100 pixels to 100 miles.

    How about "Greenslope continent" for the last island on the middle right, under Spearriver?

    I think rather than naming them all immediately, we should consider where each race originates and then name them to suit the races that would logically have named them.

    "Broken Mountain Continent" sounds a little silly. As does Spearriver. For a start, these people won't name continents based on their landshapes as they wouldn't have had satellite imagery and it would be hard for them, in that day and age, to name them like that. Omega - why? It doesn't seem like anything to do with the end. I think a bit more thought should go into place names. But then, maybe I'm just anal.

    I like Dulake, though. The "Shiny Islands" would be neat. Greenfrost Island, I like that one, as it has a reason for it's naming that is more realistic - someone would come to the island and notice a green frost, and then name the entire island after it. It's similar to how New Zealand was named Aotearoa by the Maori - it means 'Land of the Long White Cloud', which is what they saw when they arrived, if I recall correctly. Just think a bit more "random" thought is needed for the others... naming then names rather than words, if you get what I mean. Estapora, Cennora, Artaland or something else completely made up, or possibly something that is translated but sounds neat, you know... stuff.

    Sentinel Islands is neat enough.

    If we do go ahead with something similar to having Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Bangaa, Moogles and Shumi then I think the Shumi should live on the small islands to the far east of the map. Just seems suitable.
