Description Neversight
Silver Mountain Range

Crystalwood - This area has no wildlife. Mysterious opalized trees and petrified animals stand frozen in haunting expressions of pain. The eerie feeling repels most beblune from visiting.

Bubbling Burnbath - This large lake is home to many underwater volcanoes or fissures in the planet's crust which keep the water much hotter than most living creatures can withstand for long. Bubbles erupting to the surface contain acidic vapors that burn away at eyes and lungs and may cause blindness or death.


Grimllyn Wood -


Mistmarsh -

Blackacre - A jungle so dense that no light can filter through the canopy and the ground is just a tangle of roots with no dirt in sight. It's teeming with carnivorous and cannibalistic trees. Vines constrict and consume their prey when their trigger "hairs" are touched. Anything unadapted to survive is bound to perish within minutes.

Bonelong Mire -

Frozen Crown - The most north land region on Taurnar the Frozen Crown's landscape is rather flat and almost constantly covered in a blanket of snow. This region is perfect for fluffy or silky furred Beblune as their fur protects them from freezing over or getting frostbite. The Frozen Crown is known for being mildly windy and rather dry. Throughout the majority of the year the sea that surrounds this region tends to be frozen over along with any lakes or rivers within the Frozen Crown. However in the summer the ice melts and allows the rivers to flow once again and free any fish that my be living inside the water. Though even in the summer the Frozen Crown doesn't lose its frosty touch.(zulabrokenwing)

Diamond Cliffs A beautiful mesa of shimmering white gems and ice. Beblu who are equipped to tolerate the cold have made this area their home.


Scarlands
The Brittle Reaches - This region is dominated by a bitter tundra and mysterious monolithic structures. It is considered taboo to eat of these monoliths, but no one remembers why - or how they came to be in the first place. It is a difficult land to reside in, but some sturdy groups manage on its southern edge, as well as the icy shores. If the ground thawed out a bit, it would show rich iron deposits, with hematite and other stones gathering under each of the monoliths. But don’t ask how that information came to us. No one wants the consequences of digging there! (world of zekira)

Mirrored Facets - This region was named for the shape of the crystalline rock races seen throughout the area. The crystal that grows here is very reflective, giving some areas a very "House of Mirrors" feel. (velnyx)

Taurnar's Bite - Taurnar's Bite is known as a death trap among Beblune, as many Beblune have gone missing just by flying near this region. The most commonly spread story of Taurnar's Bite is of a young Beblune who had just experienced their first flight, flew towards the jaws of Taurnar's Bite, and spotted large amounts of Prism Seeds inside; deceived by the promise of riches, the young Beblune flew inside as the land rose up and swallowed the young Beblune whole, and trapping the young Beblune deep underneath in a cave system, never to be seen again. It is said that the spirit of that young Beblune still haunts Taurnar's Bite and is after other Beblune to fly close enough to join him in the cursed region of Taurnar's Bite. (zulabrokenwing)

Lewburn Loch- This hospitable body of water is known to attract the more artistic and quirky Beblune. Unwanted creatures and outcasts are welcome, and everything seems to be peaceful.

Marshmeadow The beblune who live here are scholars. They work together to learn more about the planet they live in. Long ago, they were the first to forge a friendly relationship with the humans, and maintain that relationship today.

Endershutt Canyon - This small canyon is viciously guarded by the Endershutt Clan, a brutal family of fanged beblu. They've had such strict dominion over their territory that no one outside the clan knows exactly what the area looks like. It's speculated that the Endershutt clan is hiding something.

Ninthlight Foothills

Ragrock Volcano - The most dangerous and prolific active volcano in all of Taurnar. Its daily warning rumbles can be sensed for miles around.

Burnrock Crossing - Evidence of Ragrock's destruction is scattered across this landscape in the form of charred wildlife, consistent fires, pools of lava, and no where safe to walk.

Shatterfield - One of the best places to find comet, meteor, and asteroid fragments, Shatterfield has a more magnetic attraction in a literal sense; the soil closest to the Comet Sea holds magnetic properties. (TrakyTuesdays) This is where the small population of humans have lived and thrived for the past twenty years.

Grimrind Coast - A gloomy barren land that was once filled to the brim with gems now picked clean. The land is mostly barren filled with hard stone and large empty caves that can lead for miles. Inside the rock has many small open pockets where gems once resided. Beblune who visit often return with the tale of a large tunneling beast that now walks the stony canyons. (novadragon)


Rotcatt Canyon - This massive canyon is home to hundreds of thousands of beblune. It has the highest population density in all of Taurnar - water, food, and shelter is plentiful and easily accessible.


Comet Sea - The deep, permanent scar of the impact of a meteor. It is believed to have something to do with the creation of beblune, as if the meteor released the creatures from Taurnar's core. Some particularly strange beblune believe Ragrock's eruptions are more beblune trying to escape.

Tellstar Islands These islands are home to beblu who celebrate every detail of life with song and dance. Their joyous trumpeting can be heard for miles around.

Blacktrack Desert - The ashes from Ragrock often settle in this area, dusting the whole place with a heavy black soot that makes tracking prey a cinch.

Finmere Peninsula Aquatic beblu, or those who prefer to eat fish can be found inhabiting this area. The community is known for its callous and physically powerful individuals. Those seeking mercenaries often search here first.

Glasstrap Stretch - This series of southern islands and peninsulas is dangerous more for its inhabitants than its rough terrain, but don’t underestimate the land itself. It is clear that numerous volcanoes erupted in sequence in this area long ago, leaving massive concentrations of thin obsidian in stretches that can shatter and kill anything that moves across its sharp edges. Picking through those obsidian traps is difficult on foot, but also in the air, for some of it reflects the sun in a dazzling display that can disorient a flier. Small birds and mammals reside in the rich forests that grow around the old lava flows, and some use the obsidian to line their own nests for protection. (world of zekira)


Other
Trozra's Rift - A body of water that separates the two continents. Rumor has it that a Legendary Beblune once cleaved the one island in two to keep the peace. (velnyx)

Is Blacktrack "desert" or "grasslands" as they differ from the description to the image. (or perhaps is it both, because that would certainly be possible to blend from one to the other.)

Fantastic! Very inspiring! I have a fantasy world on my own that I have been working on for quite a while (on and off, inspiration sometimes wanes). Would love to see a map illustration of my own world creation. However, I have yet to develop unique regions, places and landmarks.


Got any advice for naming things? Like locations, places even worlds?

Naming things relies pretty heavily on the intelligent species who name them. their beliefs, the things they value, and the way they perceive the world would have a heavy influence. other than that, you can try using random name generators to try and spark some of that inspiration
