Worldbuilding Naming Conventions

1Topographical Consistency

Names in mountainous regions should sound sharp and jagged ('Peak', 'Spire', 'Crag'), while riverlands feel soft and winding ('Brook', 'Glade', 'Reach').

2Language Drift Over Eras

Older cities usually have contracted archaic names (like 'Oxen-ford' becoming 'Oxford' or 'Storm-gard' becoming 'Stormgard').

3Founding Myth Inclusions

Incorporate founder names or mythological beasts into settlements to suggest ancient history.
