I CANNOT NAME TOWNS

I'll assume the map has north on top and the sun/moon/whatever rise from the east.

Well, firstly those bigass mountains. They seem pretty important for your cultures.

The Titans. Not the Titan Moutains: just the Titans.

Or: Suncradle. The Wall

Or something phonetically that speaks of heights, wind and ice, but its a matter of tastes. Maybe The Gophets.

The Sea: I guess The Twilight Sea/Sunbed Sea or something is too cheap? It's worth noting that actually people that know ONE bigass sea just call it THE Ocean or The Sea.

If not... well, what kinda sea is? Something unforgiving like the north atlantic? How about Sea of Ends?

Add Faggot Mountain, and it's ubiquitous king.

I know there's a full world map somewhere but I can't find it.

I have it!

... on paper.

Optional: Warp them for added authenticity. Goodtown becomes Geddun, Baylake becomes Baelic, This Was A Horrible Idea My God There's Corpses Everywhere becomes Thissis'Hurdogadta'Koewe.

Added a little castle. Also, the moon rises in the west, making for some weird orbital patterns. Like, moon during half day-half night rotating everywhere weird.

...

Here's what I called it. Also, I think I want to cal the mountains Sunguard, or something like that.

Mooncradle Sea, so?

I can't read what is immediatly north of Trade City.

All those translations, and Oman is just Oman.

If you're English, take everything from Canada.

>Lake Town: Loon Straights, Thunder Bay
>Coast City: Surrey, Richmond, Missasauga
>Peninsula Town: St. Catherine, Wellington
>Fishing Town: Yarmouth, Dartmouth, Winter Harbour
>River City: Kingston, Ottawa, Sarnia

WHY AM I NOT POSTING THE MAP

Reminds me of this.

Boy ??? Fisshing Town?

Sunguard isn't bad.

Those are the temporary names, and it's
Bay Coast Fishing City (until I find a name) and
River Coast Trade City.

You know, for the mountains I think God's Towers fits perfectly.

Post using cam pl0x

As it is now

>sibling love

Personally I'd call it the town Kingsport just because HPL is HPL, but if not...

Town: Riven Cove, seems to be on a small plain between cliffs
(I was tempted to suggest Candle Cove actually, not sure if anyone gets it)
The river: Leeom (lyo means to dissolve in greek, it sound "water running" enough to me)
The city: Swampbridge, Reed City, Floatstones (Bogstone is a little too much)
The bay: if you want to be on the adventure/monster theme, maybe Scylla Bay (I was thinknig of some kraken-like myths but honestly Hafgafua sounds silly). If not... hrm, it's a whale bay, I'd suppose is full of krill and fishsing goods? Harvest Bay? Red Bay (red by crustaceans)?

Now my cam is for shit man. I'm pretty sure I've seen it posted here though.

Helsinki is Barnacle Goose, and Sapporo something like "Banknote Pavillion".

>The names are supposed to be English, but further north can be Scandinavian.

in which case, use scandinavian-norse roots.

-ness = cape, headland
-vik = cove, creek
- thorpe,, = village or farmstead.
-by, -stoke/stock, -wich, -ton, -ham = Town
-dalr = Valley
-brekkr = Stream

So, use your placenames. and character's or people's names, or descriptions of the place.

White Headland? Whitness
Farm where the Ravens roost? Ravensthorpe.
Northern Town? Norby.
Kings' fort and town? Kingstoke.
Valley where the old Oaks grow? Oakdale.
Njal's stream? Nellsbrook.
the old vilalge? Oldthorpe.

In the meantime, you know who in the end I think has something for village/towns names?

How's it going OP?

Pretty good, worked on the East a bit and took a break, but I'm back

This is always good. It helps flavor the town so people know what it's good for without having to play 20 questions with you.

>Nearrock
>Yellowplains
>Swordmill
>Tedshouse on-the-Sea

What's the city's history? Make the name based on that.

For example:
>Pommy Breach is the name of the River city after the city's original founder, Captain Pomar Blackwood, attempted to sail the then treacherous narrows in a ship his crew had warned was too small for the vessel he was using. Rather than taking their advice, Captain Pomar sailed on through, intent on laying claim to whispered riches that were rumored to lay further inland. Of course, his ships crashed upon the shoals, stranding himself, and the crews that followed. Either to keep the crew from killing him, or to atone for his mistakes, Captain Pomar organized the survivors to salvage the ruined ships and built the first shanty town. It still didn't help his reputation as his nickname 'Pommy' had become synonymous with stubbornness and stupidity.

>The town however would thrive as its location made the perfect port for merchant vessels and other ships looking for port. Eventually enough money flowed into the town's treasury to open up the river, and made it safer for other ships to move upstream, and to renovate the flimsy wooden huts into more solid stone buildings. Pomar's Landing was no more, and Pommy Breach was born.

Well, I'll be there for an hour or so, if you want suggestion I'll oblige.

>though I don't have any idea about WHAT is in the east of course

Have fun naming the countries
>at this point I'm just obliging Veeky Forumss advice

Me likes

How about some general info about the countries? Is that supposed to be, i dunno, Totally Not China?

Some info would be great. History, resources available, and placement can also contribute to their name

It's actually totally not HRE in the northeast and notRussia in the southeast.

Right now I'm working on the country's backstories.

I named my Animal Crossing town, Pooptown

Hope that helps

First idea for HRE 2 is to take the names of the children (and grandchildren of so forth) of one emperore and name smaller countries that stand were the great empire was for them. Like Lotharingia and all that shit.

Hang on, I think I have a site for that.

lmgtfy.com/?q=fantasy name generator

Well it also depends on what culture the country is based on. If it's typical western-y world that might work, but if it's !Asia then you can go into a bunch of other directions for names.

this is the part you should have done first

Here OP:
donjon.bin.sh/

Seems like it' gonna be Charlemagne and all that shit. Plus Russia.

Yep. Plus England and Ńorŵåŷ too.

>Usually if we have zero ideas and we're playing Generic Fantasy TM we use local names and "translate" them into english (possibly not using the most direct translation, so to speak, to have something unusual).
>But I guess oddly enough this shortcut isn't avaible to native english players.
This is basically it. Take all the placenames around you and translate them. Eg Kirkwood->Church Forest. Some towns are named after famous people, so do that too. City of Decatur->Town of Decius.

Here's the info so far, I'm gonna literature for a small bit.

North to South country info

Scandinavian Eastern Countries
>Hialfibekkr: Founded by Modi Eingellson in the late 1660s, Hialfibekkr is the northernmost frontier of the Union.
To the south of Hialfibekkr
>Arngrinsetr: Historically inhabited by the Nordmen, Arngrinsetr is a peaceful, small country, like most of the Union
To the southeast of Arngrinsetr
>Republic of Bodibekkr: This rich Merchant Republic contains the wealthy city of Kingsport, and although remaining independent of the Union, it is one of the most prosperous countries today.
To the west of Bodibekkr
>Duchy of Harebekkr: this small nation is also of Nordmen descent, as much of the Union is. Not much else is noteworthy.
To the south of Harebekkr
>Duchy of Hakibyr: This country has a complicated history, with it being in a Personal Union with Harebekkr occasionally.
To the east of Hakibyr
>Karitoft: This small country is just one example of people becoming so influential they create a kingdom. Karitoft is notable for being a very wealthy country, whilst also being very small.

That's neat. Do you know what the Reykja in Reykjavik mean?

>Seattle
