Hey all, I'm new here and not really a fantasy writer at all. But in my free time I am working as a 3d artist on a fantasy RTS game. To describe it simply, We are going for a mix of LOTR and GOT setting. Dark and brutal.
We are still at a very early stage of development. Quite recently my co-founder has started to work on some lore. Naming certain locations in the world and lets just say we have some creative differences...
The Orcs homeland is located on an island by a volcano called Mount Purgatory. Or alternatively Maw of Purgatory.
My partner is a person that has a lot of historical knowledge and keeps referring to how things where named back in the middle ages. But I find it a bit on the nose and would prefer something more original that also helps with the world building. Overall I find that the names lack variety and doesn't have unique names tied to the geography.
Anyway I would like to hear what you people have to say about it. Since you people no doubt got more experience with world building then anyone of us.
