So ... if these names were never memorised, would using them be a Captial rule breech?
Reality was never my strong point.

It depends I guess - someone may have recorded the original name before amnesia.

Like I said, I found Aarkalip referenced on a number of maps - and my map-maker intends to use both the 'orginal' name she's seen, and the new name it's been given.
Whoever you vote for.

Hey, hmm, I was thinking, do you think they'd be a CRB if they were on the Wiki??

They should not be put on the wiki because, as has been said, some of these names still exist in-game, even if no characters have learned them.

If ever there were a Battle of Heartswater Hills, for some reason it sounds like it would be a really bloody battle, which would be good :D

What do you do when you go to a place that has no name on the maps, not so many people are there, no buildings, and no notes whatsoever???

I think at that point, you should name the town to whatever you wish...

Yeah, that's what I've always done, if only to keep from walking around in circles.

That's what I've done, only to find another 2 different names for the place

Well, for now.. I am just calling the location "Empty Place", till I go to the next town and maybe if I find someone there, they would tell me what the place is called. Luckily, I know the next place's name.

Hey, I came up with the name Heartswater Hills! What's with all the disrespect, yo?

All right, it's not Cirith Ungol, or Kookakakatamia, or Sciatica, or Ra Ghul.... but can you honestly tell me it's worse than Vrayllnuets Hills South? Blech.

Besides, Heartswater Hills is perfect for the place. It's about blood, but also tears. And HH is positively, absolutely, without question the most collectively melodramatic place I have ever encountered. It drives me batty. :roll: The name fits.

Ah, that explains why the people there liked the name then. I bet they write a lot of poetry about it, too. :P

You know, all those "map notes" in-game? How come all these locations are not all packed into those?

It would be great if all those locations actually existed. It's nice to think that they do... Could anyone answer my question? Help on this topic would be much appreciated. :?:
