Name changing

I'd just like to know how you feel with some place names being changed ?
for instance :  the Great marshes or Great rocky fields which sound really quite generic I think ^^;

I think they could use a better name, yes, since neither are really indicative of their main "gimmick", for a lack of a better word. The Great Marshes, to me, are known for the thick fog blanketing the upper area, while the Great Rocky Field is better known for its rainless thunderstorms. I think these should be given more emphasis when coming up for a new name. Sadly, I am terrible at naming things, and Thunder Plains is already taken.

I can't say I'd mind either. If I may make a suggestion off the top of my head, "Fulgur Fields" has a nice ring to it. :3 But it might be a little unoriginal. Take it or leave it.

I for one would support some changes. You told me the Imoreith Tundra wasn't a tundra, so we could call it the Imoreith Range, the Imoreith Wasteland, the Imoreith Crags...

You already have Ixtapalapa, the Second Sky, for the Great Marshes. Could work.

As for the Great Rocky Fields... I liked the Rocky fields. But if you wanna change the name, Lighthouse worked for Catatumbo. Maybe you could call the GRF's the Lighthouse.


Here's to hoping that helps.

Hmm... Ixtapalapa Marsh might work, although I'd shorten to something that rolls off the tongue a little better, Ixtapa Marsh.  As for the rocky field, I'm still not sure.  The trend seems to be to use a made-up word and whatever the local is, so it would be like, I dunno, Yavax Field or Ivolt Field, something like that.

Just to make a mention to the Imoreith Tundra, I'm pretty sure Tundra is merely used as a shorthand to say that it's a cold region in that specific case.

Great Pocky Field - Hm, delicious.

I think there is nothing wrong with the name being genretic. Those simple names often gives a straight-forward description about landscape or things, instead of going around trying to be mysterious with some tongue-twisting names. Misty Mountain in The Hobbit, for example ^^

I quite like it the way it is and TK has a point. Plus, there are real world examples of this. "The Grand Canyon" is one.

Alright we will keep the Great rocky fields then
For now I just changed the Great marshes to Ixtapal marshes.
Stabs : for the tundra you are right indeed, it's really not a tundra at all ^^;

I don't care too much about places but there's a race that I think deserves a different name and that's the Cheprys, I don't think it's even a real word, I think they should be called Fawns

I personaly don't see any need to change any names unless you are ready to make a new map with updated all of the new locations. Such as a pucture of Torin City,Izatem,Murmer Tavern and Thorn Lodge. Maybe even Kurlem's future site just so we don't to cone back to it latter. Also Tina's, Kaylan's pics added to the Jungle of Perils.

I second Jedi's motion! New map with the new stuff! For example you forgot "Forget-me-not Island" on the first one, ironically.

Well I supose all the Topizial Islands deserve a name but it would be too many letters for such a small area.

We can just give them really short names, like A, B, C, and D.

That could work but it'd look a little weird compared to everywhere else and there's more than A B C and D. I think there's six.

A new map is certainly in the card yes ^^

Awesome  I'll keep an eye out on DA.

Yess! Aw wait... now my edited fanon map will be useless. But on the plus side I can edit a new map!

as can I.....I think

I hereby resubmit my suggestion that we make a crowdsourced version of the map.

You could totally change the Great Marshes to the Swamp of Sorrows!!!!

Hey I liked it. = O I thought it had a goo ffantasy vibe...ofcourse I'm in love with Warcraft due to Night Elves being so awesome to look at and Orcs just being so awesome so I may be a little influenced too XD

I meant the map could exist as some kind of web thingy where people who are signed up (on the forum or something) can add their own places and the map shows all the locations people have made.

^ I agree on all counts, but I think I had my own thread for this a while back so let's not commandeer this one
