Landforms / Place Names
This page is for discussing the naming of various landforms in bigworld.
Such as naming lakes, rivers, mountain ranges, swamps, etc
This could help with giving some quests/dungeons some backstory …
It may be useful to say what map it is on, also possibly link it to cfworldview?
places can have different names, used by different cultures / races (more depth!!!)
… No idea how well this will go…
