[MegaThread] Naming locations on Verra

This post is inspired by the wonderful Ashes community on the official subreddit who have been naming islands and continents on the map.

Does the landmass look like a similar place you know? Does it look like an animal? Or do you just want to give the location an awesome fantasy name? Name a location plop it down in the comments for everyone to see.
Please note that these are all unofficial names and are just for the communities enjoyment

I swear, I didn't know what I was doing when I circled the map. They warned me, but I didn't listen.

Someone proposed The Downunder for the island in the bottom right of the map on the subreddit. I think it's perfect!

I know people are coming up with pretty awesome unofficial names, but do we have clues on one or two of the official ones maybe? Scavenging around the wiki 'Riverlands' and 'Northern Mountains'(although not capitalized) come up in some of the quotes.

"It has only been over the past millennia that the Riverlands have begun to see colonies of Elves exist." (on Pyrian Elves)
"The center of the Dwarven race is the nation of Dünzenkell, found deep in the northern mountains."... and later.... "It has fueled the expansion of the Dwarven kingdoms throughout the northern mountains." (on Dunzenkell)

I think the autumn and dark forest in the center are probably the Pyrian home forests, but the territory in the extreme southwest looks like it could be the 'Riverlands" maybe judging by the various waterways? (although the plain/flatland right next to the autumn looking forest would be a more natural extension of the territory?)
Northern mountains has got to probably be the one in the extreme northwest right? (they are the only real mountains in that direction)

That little spot, right there? I'm naming it "Z3rg3ase1".

JK 😜

I like this idea. It gives the devs some material, from us, to work with. Let's get creative!

Edit. Let's get some back stories, with these names. Content, people.

The circled mountains seem like they join 3 regions together and the most immediate association I have is the mountains in south-eastern Poland which serve as a border between Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine. Polish name for the mountains is Bieszczady /B-ye-shcha-dee/ however the locals quite often refer to them as Biesy-Czady. "Biesy" meaning "Fiends" while "Czady" is derivative form of "Czad" which is a common name for carbonoxide, a deadly translucent and odourless gas. The name itself might also refer to the fact these mountains were inhabited by several bandit hansas throughout 14th and 15th century. Thus by applying my twisted logic i dub this mountain range Phantom Fiend Belt.... Lore will follow tomorrow as I'm bound to be back to work in less than 7 hrs ;p

Hello from Reddit! I was the one who suggested the Dragon Head cove to the bottom right area with the ice peninsula!

Wouldn't it be cool if we didn't name the regions beforehand. After all we are explorers in a new world "no pun intended".
That way all regions would feel more unexplored and wild. Over time players would find names and the most popular would be used.

Nah, not cool. Jk it's just for fun! I strongly doubt these names will stay after release anyway.

That should be called Little Australia, change my mind.

I disagree. The Downunder is waaaay better.

Nothern island at the top right corner looks like flexing bear who is showing its biceps. Mighty Bear Island? Ursus Brute? Inkedmap2_LI.jpg?width=673&height=475

Edit : nothing

I am not really good at naming things, also not a native speaker but I had so much fun anyways.

Will be Updating map with more names/Edits for pronunciation. Having fun with just theorizing names based on landmarks and styles based off of possible culture. As well as wether or not its a separate landmark or a division or path. lmk if u have any ideas or advice of your own.

Using @Inixia map frame as a guide for possible differences in flow of names & areas.
