Thread: Name That Continent

  1. #1

    Default Name That Continent

    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

    Default Since New Jersey is already taken...

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

    Original, I know.

    Default Let's name the first 2 first!

    ...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".

    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

    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.

    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.

    Default Suggestion for continent name

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

    Seems kind of appropriate to me

    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!

    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 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
