Least fitting region names
« on: April 23, 2015, 10:08:49 pm »
I just encountered an island that is completely evil, tropical, and its called "The Island of Petals", with the subregion being "The Frigid Plains".

Whats the worst you have encountered?

"The Burning Slopes" A glacier in the very edge of the world. Such burn. Very slopes.

If any of them are made of fire, throw stuff, run, and think non-flammable thoughts.

Sigh. The Plains of innocence, south of The Sensual Ocean which has The Jungle of Sacks dipping into it, east of The Mythical Finger, west of The Forest of Blowing, and north of The Hills of Confinement. Something NSFW is going on in that area.

I have a jungle at the edge of the world called the Forest of Clams. Hope they're not Dropclams, those things can put your eye out.

Speaking of NSFW I once had a god whose epithet was the Young-Boys Lover, really made me uncomfortable about that civ.

A desert called "The Unnamable Dunes".
A mountain range called "The False Wall".

An old classic here.   :)
If it only contained Merpeople or Sea monsters. Or both. Then we could have a Cthulhu joke.

Maybe Ocean of Depths is the place where they drown all the topologists along with their deep insights... insights such as that there is little difference between one and two ponds.
