Since everyone else is doing it... Let's name some landmarks!

[BurnyBurn]

Forests
1) Shizuka Forest (Duffie)
2) Viridian Forest (Cherpah, unless he was referring to another forest?)
3) Anti-Gravity Forest (DaniNomsYou)
4) Lonely Woods (DaniNomsYou)
5) (Unmarked, on the border behind mountain 2): Straight Edge (Duffie)
6) (Unmarked between Desert 1 and 2)

Mountains
1) Mt. Vertigo (lolpierandom)
2) The Twisted Rang (DaniNomsYou)
3) Sharpened Hills (wateronflamz)

Deserts
1) Split Resort (DaniNomsYou)
2) Sandy Dunes (Duffie)
3) The Giant Quarry (raxo2222)/Arid Valley (DaniNomsYou) VOTE HERE PLEASE
4) Intruding Desert (DaniNomsYou)

Bodies of water and swamps etc.
1) (Lake): Outlook Bay (DaniNomsYou)
2) (Swamp): Shallowvine Swamp (BurnyBurn)
3) (The river): Mizu River (Duffie)
4) (Swamp 2, unmarked behind forest 4) Isolated Marshlands (DaniNomsYou)

Plains
1) Elyssian Fields (Captain_Carrot)

So please start suggesting some names, I'm not very creative with them :] I think there should also be a short description of each location that we could include in the wiki again later?

Of course I think it's up to the leaders to decide which names will stick.

Don't suggest overly long names and try to stay with the natural, peaceful theme that Gaia has. Don't suggest naming something "Treacherous Mountain of Doom, Despair and Death" then in other words.

EDIT: Made Water and Deserts an easier colour to read and added the landmarks I missed as well as everyone's suggestions so far and their names in parenthesis.

 

[BurnyBurn]

Well I have a few suggestions

The swamp should be named Shallowvine Swamp.

The river should be called Gaia's Vein or something like that :S

(I don't want my own suggestions in the first post.)

 

[Duffie]

Curses...

Was...

Going...

To...

Make this...

With plains and rivers to add names to.

 

[Fatalis]

Mountain 1 should be Fatalis Mountain :3

Sorry :C

So what about this thread now?

 

[Lee_scar]

What about the small forest between desert 1 and 2?

 

[BurnyBurn]

I also missed the forest behind mountain 2 :C

I'll update the image later if Duffie decides to keep this thread.

 

[super-spark]

Names are hard, but this is a Damn Good Idea.

Are we just throwing names out?

 

[BurnyBurn]

@super-spark

Not my idea, creds go to Enceladus in this thread: http://blocktopia.net/forum/threads/dubbing-geographics.2465/

And yes, just ideas for now :3

 

[Duffie]

We can keep the thread, but you should update the picture.

 

[DaniNomsYou]

The pine forest closest to the portal should be Anti-Gravity Forest >:c

 

[Digitalis]

I cannot read that yellow. :U

 

[Duffie]

• Change Yellow to Orange or Brown.

I suggest naming Forest 1; "Shizuka Forest," because it looks very lonely and untrustworthy with its size and density.

 

[BurnyBurn]

Edited first post.

 

[Notme]

Desert #3: The Giant Quarry

 

[Duffie]

Burny, you should try updating the map...

Because half of Anti-Gravity Forest is gone.

 

[DaniNomsYou]

Forest 4: Lonely Woods
Mountains 2: The Twisted Range
Bodies of Water 1: Outlook Bay
Desert 1: Split Resort (I'd like to build a village there later on, actually :3)
Desert 4: Intruding Desert, for how it managed to be within our capital xD
Unmarked Swamp: Isolated Marshlands

Also why not mark the plains? D:

And I'd like to call Desert 3 the Arid Valley, nothing against you, raxo.

Burny, you should try updating the map...

Because half of Anti-Gravity Forest is gone.

And when you update ADD THE PLAINS ASDFBLARGHY

Or I could update it. A few things might change though

 

[lolpierandom]

Mountain one should be Mt. Vertigo :3

My name overrides Fatalis's joke name uncontested :c

 

[Cherpah]

Viridian Forest? Anyone, highfive?

 

[DaniNomsYou]

Viridian Forest? Anyone, highfive?

Hell.

Yes.

 

[BurnyBurn]

@Duffie: Well then it isn't really a forest anymore :C So I think I'll just remove it?

@DaniNomsYou: Why do you want to name the plains? The plains is basically just the middle of Gaia, without any noticeable features. The plains aren't a "landMARK" it's just land. Do you see what I'm getting at?

Also I think I'm just gonna make a new picture :L

@Cherpah: FUCK. YEAH. Which one though? EDIT: Put you it on Forest 2 because it was the only one left. Just say if you meant another one.

@Everyone else: Suggestions will be added :)

EDIT: There are two suggestions for Desert 3 so vote on which you think is the best please.

 

[Duffie]

Personally, I like Arid Valley.

I understand where you're coming from, but...

WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST THE PLAINS, MAN?

 

[Captain_carrot]

we should name the plains the elyssian fields >_>

 

[wateronflamz]

3 should be the sharpened hills
