Apologies if I've asked this before, but is there a name for the mountain range separating the Border Kingdom Duchy of Donnerwald and Goranth? Also, is there a name for the river separating Donnerwald and Mirish?
If not, what would you name the mountain range? Not only does it constitute the border between the Border Kingdoms (based on 14th century France) and Goranth (Dark Elf lands), but it also extends into Naz-Goth (Orc lands) and Zog Rot (Goblin lands)?
What name would you give river separating Donnerwald (14th century France) from Mirish (7th century Persia) and Treyine (14th century England) from Hykar (6th century Huns)?

Not sure. I tend to use the actual historical names and tweak them. Acre became Ekra. Subbed out E for A and K for C.

Well, in that case, the mountain range bordering France & Switzerland is called the Jura, from which we get the Jurassic period. But Jura is an ancient word in many languages which means "oath" - in Talomir, could call them the "Oathbound Mountains" in that all of the northern nations from Tropilium to Mirholme took an ancient oath to band together if another Bad Moon invasion ever crosses from the northern demonic lands.
Also could say the r4esult of the oath was the formation of the Border Kingdoms from Ekra and Treyine. Does that sound ok?

That should be Black Moon instead of Bad Moon - evidently I have CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival for you young folk) on my brain.

The same range would have a different name among the goblins, they would call the range "Uma's Teeth" after Uma, the earth goddess and mother of all goblins.
