(OOC, Open) Region Naming Convention

Welcome to the Region Naming Convention for the First Map (by first map, I mean it is the first before any updates, that shift regions), and a big thank you for picking good places (I expressed this in a map claims post). But what we really need is to start naming the region and major land marks (i.e. mountain ranges, deserts, forests...), so what I've done is marked out major places that we need to name.

Also, remember, let's try not to have IRL major names, but we can have some obscure names. And for the sake of understanding what continent is supposed to correspond with the IRL continent, i've given them each names (they have changed since I last posted that "guideline" thing, as nations have claimed in different places)

Also note that the "regions" that I've marked in this region are only for climate and have nothing to correspond with on the IRL map as per location:


A key for this map is:

blue marks major forested areas that could be named
cream marks major bodies of water that could be named
red marks major mountain ranges that could be named
orange marks major deserts that could be named

Also before you post here, if a major monument (island, chain of islands, mountain range) falls mostly or completely under the jurisdiciton of one nation, let them get their say in this convention before you decide the name of the feature without them knowing.

And when you suggest something, to make it easier, say what region the feature is in/around.

Thank you for taking your time to read this, and I hope for some active participation,
Arveyres

Everyone, a reminder, we actually need to do this, so if people could help out, that would be great! Unless you want me to name everything for you!

1. Mount Civitius
   
2. Crassus Forest
   
3. Krasnorysk Mountains
   
4. Arabian Woods
   
5. Mount Khazad-Dum
   
6. Congolese Mountains
   
7. Great Ermelandic Desert
   
8. Yellasian Sea
   
9. Mountains of the South
   
10. Sea of the West
    
11. Akaviri Forest
    
12. Southern Wastelands

Not great, but no one else seems to have any ideas.

I think what you typed as 9-12 actually correspond to your 10-13 on your drawing? You're missing what you would call the islands in the center-right

I do really like the names, and I would like to see the opinions of the whole group. My suggestions for this convention are:

1. Civitius Mountains (since you're the only one in the area, I suppose we can keep it as that).
2. Bielovask Forest
3. Kabirnalisk Mountains
4. South Levant Forest
5. Madrasah Mountains
6. North Congolese Mountains (I really like that!)
7. Tahir Desert
8. Oriental Sea
9. Davarni Rainforest
10. South Congolese Mountains
11. Occidental Sea
12. Akaviri Forest
13. Southern Plaguelands (I think it's a more gruesome name!)

These are some great names, in my opinion, Arvey.

I agree with Lonbonia.

I would only like to change "South Levant Forest" in South Levan Plains.

The big island that Yellasia is on should be called the Island of Yell.

Can you extend the East Indies region north to cover the rest of that island?

Sounds alright, since it's all under your jurisdiction

Why? It's already a very large region!

My history is going to be rewritten if we don't

I think we all had to rewrite our history. I had to also

OK I didn’t have much history to begin with anyway.

Thanks.

And I haven't even had to rewrite any history yet, aside from the geography changing. >_>

I like the names. They actually fit my history rather well.
