Name That Continent

[Tamar]

As you may or may not know, the new continent is now the closest it has ever been to being completed. (There's still quite a bit to do, but at least there is an end in sight.)

So it's time for Name That Continent!

What shall we call it?

The person who suggests the winning name may receive a prize.

Post your submission(s) in this thread. The sooner, the better =)

Is there a general description of the place, perhaps? I'm sure it must be somewhere, but I can't find it.

Where it will be located? Any indication of what is there? This would make it possible to come up with better names.

Couple of suggestions, which reflect both its newness and my lack of knowledge of the continent:
The Great Unknown
The Undiscovered Lands
The New World

The Sunset Lands (if in the west) or Sunrise Lands (if east).

Original, I know.

...unless the north / northern and south / southern continents already have real names.

Let's not go directional on this 3rd masterpiece...

I nominate "Lost Realm".

[Belsambar]

A good amount of these will have explanations to them to go with whatever ~I~ can think of for RP reasons about the continent, and some just random, cool (and good) ideas.

Lostlands
Discovered Territories (unless we have, like, more of it mapped than either NC or SC...)
Fobidden Territories
Forsaken Lands
Cisterian (Halfling primary race found on continent, first to discover)
Terrorlands (if mostly high level, mean, areas)
Shi'lor Kalei (Elven primary race/discoverers)
"Tynian's Beard" (possibly discovered by a member of the "Cult of the One Dwarf" while drunk)
Fabled Lands
Moo-eth. Moo. Moo. Eth. (if Minotaur discovered/primary race(in high mino of course))
Nainyt Evol'ew

The Forgotten Continent ((Hehehe...TFC!))
The Fallen Continent
The Lands of Shadow
The Far Lands
Obscured Realm
Lands of Wonder
Legendary Lands
Realm of Ages Past
Primordial Lands
Lands of Contest
Open Realms
Fabled Realms/Realms of Fable
Nogg (If Ogre discovered/prime race)
Rocklands ((Giant discovered/prime))
Lands of Moonlight/Moonlit Realm
Lands of Starlight/Starlit Realm
Mythic Lands
Thibbleland ((If Gnome discovered/prime))
The Dragonlands
Dragon's Teeth
Hidden Realm
Worldhaven
Flightlands ((If Aara prime/discovered))
Lands of Oblivion
Kor'thae
Crest of the World

The Midlands


Ok, I'll go think of more now...heheheh...

[Ylang]

What one might describe as the "spray and pray" approach to winning prizes ;)

Some cool ideas in there, though. I like the more general ones, like Lands of Shadow or Fabled Realm, and also Lands of Moonlight (for quiet, open expanses with some spirit or undead elements), Forsaken Lanes (especially if there are few racial towns), or Terrorlands (for lots of dark, hard zones).

Nice work, for a suicidal fellow.

[Piter]

I have a few ideas:

- The Marshes
- Dark Territory
- Realm of the One Dwarf
- Borderland
- Jungleland
- The Wastelands

No, there isn't a description out there. I will say that there are some hometowns on it.

[Pursnip]

Heureka - Ancient Greek word meaning "I've found it", also where we get the word Eureka

Seems kind of appropriate to me :)

[Kurix]

"We will rule over all this land, and we will call it....This Land."

[Rincewind]

RinceLand!

Full of rincetowns and rincefolk, home of the dreaded rincedragon. Mountains full of rincekin and mines full of the hairy rincedwarfs. Oh it sounds like a dream! A rincedream!

[Rydell]

Continant X,
Lost cavers of Myth
Thunder Hills
Raging plains
Marsh Foot
Old Mexico
onyx mountains
golden plains

[Belsambar]

Realm of the One Dwarf I thought of but didn't put up. Heh.


I haven't thought of anything cool to add, maybe another day hah

[Belsambar]

A good many of these names you people put up are great Zone names....not continent names...

Continents tend to have EVERYTHING you know, not just hills, or plains, or mountains...

....just so you can consider naming em properly...

...now I wanna write up something like 'Onyx mountains' ...that'd be a hell of a thing to see as you wander a river and look up at as you drift...

...my imagination is awesome! Hehehe....who needs WoW with my brain's graphic engine and people writing the cool stuff we got.

Nash's Scar

Baneite

Llywdon

Floren

Guilder

[Belsambar]

Nash's scar again sounds like a much smaller section of geography...something akin to a giant rift in the land, maybe a gorge...

...but a continent?




Oh, here's a couple...

Heaven's Fall
Dawninglands
Lands of Dusk
Lands of Sun's Fall
Realm of the Burning Sky
Azurelands
Diamond Realm
Land of Ruby Skies
Sunshome
Sunrest
SKyfall

[Belsambar]

Fantasy names! Hehehehe


Corlean
Vaeten'ruu
Alcoroth
Miel'dier
Mahk'tuuk
Valran
Edrip ed'Ramat
Prizelands
Valk'ek
Moriotos
Mandelhar
Skyneggian
Holy Lands of the One Dwarf
Xevyor



Hey, if anyone ever needs Character or Zone names, just let me know, I can do this for hours....if you haven't noticed...

[Hiro]

Hiroland.
Hiroburg.
Hiroville.
Hiroton.
Hirocity.

[Belsambar]

I liked Hirocity, sounds something like Atrocity to my mind...

[Tamar]

Just a notice that suggestions will be closing today.

[Belsambar]

Suicidia
Edicius-egam
Beltopia
Sambarsland
"The only place Belsambar hasn't died" ((Oh wait, we'd end up changing the name 5 minutes after implementation...))
Belsambaria


Fated Territories
Lands of Destiny
Lands of Glory

[Corri]

Along the line of the simple "Northern Continent" and "Southern Continent"...

The Frontier

[vekt]

How about

The Lost Continent
or
Legendary Lands

[Miyu]

Not that this is a voting situation or anything but I would like to say I really like the idea of The Frontier, it just fits with the realm as it already is. That is unless we will be renaming the other two continents.

[Tamar]

Thanks to everyone who participated! Odmar, Corri, & Natilena all win a prize, because we've decided to go with Outland Frontier as the name. Please see me to collect.

[Cytoxan]

Gelderland

[Tynian]

Haha, I like Gelderland. :P

[Rincewind]

How come nobody thought of Maelmordian in the name. Maelmordian lands or something...

[Ylang]

Gelderland is very funny. :-)
