Franonia Map Finished and everything named..........

....sort of!

Now all the regions, towns, cities, mines, islands, forts etc...have been named after friends, bloggers, rejects etc...it wasn't easy as some bloggers don't use their real name or the blog name is quite unique (Ancient Warriors for example but I got him!), now I may not have got everybody due to forgetfulness, running out of stuff to name, Ray whining and bitching (his spelling is atrocious as I've found out) etc.....

Some of them are suggestions, some we (Ray helped) made up names for and and the 6 regions naming took the longest, some areas cover more than one blogger as some people have the same real name ....

Now if you have been forgotten I do have some airfields and rivers left that I forgot to do, so you could get one of these depending on your level of whining or bribery!

    With all the names it does look like a spledid map. I hope you have had as much fun naming things as you have provided to other bloggers.

    Now clearly I wasn't paying enough attention when this was first published or couldn't decide what geographic feature I was most suited to, but nothing would give me greater pleasure than to be represented on this fabulous piece of cartography! With regards to bribery, perhaps there is a little something that could be painted for you? Pretty shameless I know but needs must! ;)

    I love it. Glad to see Adamsgrad in the region of Westoros. The Game of Thrones inspired names are great, and work well.

    So does Adamsgrad fall under control of Rayonia at this point, or is it a neutral town?

      Perfect. Though our proximity to the evil capital, along being well known for a populace with beautiful women with good child bearing hips will make us a target in the upcoming war.

    I didn't follow this project and I see that it was a wrong way!
    That's really a great idea and it's fun to find on the map some names I know and even I like!
    Dune, Westoros (Westeros I suppose?), Tyrion (it could be a very small country!), St Paul's Bods, Anne, Peter's Cave (a mine I suppose?)etc....
    That's just great!
    I don't see a Middle Earth country or a Hobbiton town... or a Gandalf Tower or something like that....
