Hanseatic Republics
Establishing Nation
I decided to make a generic thread for discussions on what to name things. There is currently a lot of blue sea that is just nameless. Additionally, there are seas which have had some discontent in their names. I think we could fix some of those things here and now.
To kick start this thread there are a few considerations worth talking about.
1.) The Long Sea
This sea has existed since NSEurope Classic and was used because we wanted continuity between classic and now. I think that enough time has passed to have this renamed. It’s a lazy and poor name considering how immersive and thoughtful our RP is now. A few others I’ve spoken to as well share this belief. Thus far in RP, I’ve referred to it as the Barbaresk Sea. I’d be open to other ideas though.
2.) The Implarian Ocean
This Ocean has existed also as a carry over from NSEurope Classic and it’s probably time to cut the cord. I don’t have a current suggestion here, but I think it would be a very good idea to name it something based upon either Touzenese of Aurarian explorers.
3.) Divine Sea
What makes this sea so divine? Right now it’s a region that is full of nothing. Maybe we should give this a more appropriate East Asian themed name to correctly attract that type of player there.
4.) Unnamed Sea (South of Natalia)
This area could use a name, and I highly advocate for something Aurarian or Engellexic.
5.) Unnamed Sea/Ocean (North)
I think it’s time to name for the far northern sea/ocean. North of the Anti-State there is the Yurmana Sea. I think that sets a bit of an idea that the geographical features cut off the parts of the north and therefore at the very least north of Pohjanmaa, I’d campaign for the Tavastian Sea, a term I believe an old Finnish player used once.
6.) Unnamed Sea (North of Sylvania)
I think a good Engellexic term ought to be employed here.
7.) Unnamed near West Østveg
There is a bay there where the current map meets Nidaros (soon to be renamed as seen in the map thread). Perhaps calling it something like the Bay of Freyja or the Bay of Embla.
8.) Unnamed South of Mazidia
Perhaps another Aurarian inspired name?
