    Czanthor, you can name whatever is entirely within your region whatever you like. Nait is just offering ideas, I guess. I'm hoping for variety throughout the world, some Elvish, some English, some Finnish, etc.

    On a side-note, I am positivelly surprised to find out that Aranel's realm is called Aura Isle! "Aura" is also a Finnish word. It is the name of a river - "Aurajoki", a cheese, and a farming-implement, the. What's it called. Pulled to break the earth open for fields and stuff.

    EDIT:

    Plow. The plow.

    I personally would like landformations that everyone can pronounce and not have a world dominated by Finnish. kthxbai

    ps: and I didn't mean name per se, as in give the places names, I mean write them

    Just a hunch, but I think he'd be using Aura based on the English translation which, if dictionary.com is correct, came about through Latin and Greek.

    Czanthor, you should just rename your stuff anyways. It makes sense that the country names its areas.

    [strike]I'd prefer some name changes to Fiorenso - I posted this in that thread too, but I want to cover my bases here. No offenses to Nait's naming.

    The southeast isles will be referred to as the Saraswati Archipelago (Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of wisdom), the southeast most isle to be called Verusia Island (Verus is Latin for being truthful, I think), and the middle island to be called Cielo Island (Italian for heaven). The mountain on Cielo Island will be called Sacerestus Peak (a fusion of a few Latin synonyms of holy), and this is the root of the native Fiorensian religion (if there is one and whatever it ends up being). The gods are said to have descended from this mountain in times of despair to protect their people. It is also said the holy mountain of Sacerestus Peak has some supernatural connection to Vedriet Peak.

    No offense to your naming, Nait, but it would make sense the country names their local landforms. I like the map.[/strike]

    Yay Nait!

    No, it's alright. I like your names anyway.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
