    When I was an egotistical DM and made my former PC a near-god after making the transition from PC to DM I had a city in my world called Arcania. I must say though, I'm flattered by the sentiment!!!

    Anyone wanna see my anus? (PLEASE get that joke...Its pretty crude, and I don't want it to be read without Waldronate's initiation.

    In the case somebody would want to see it, he'd be viewing the arch-anus.
    It's some people can't count the planets, jumping directly from Saturn to Neptune.

    The planetary name should definitively include the founder project into its name.

    Also I think the capital of each country should be name after its creator.

    And if we dare so, we can try to use all the guild members’ names for the town around the kingdom.

    While I like easter-egging people into projects, I would vouch against using our names as town names. It doesn't feel right to me.

    While I'd have favoured something like Golvaris to be the name by which the world is commonly referred to, "Torquis" shall be my true proposition, in line with what Alu' said.

    Shouldn't it be annis? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annis

    Never use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice!

    Should we go ahead and have a submission and poll thread for naming so we can go ahead and decide?

    This was supposed to be the submission thread, but maybe its better to post a new one with a title that specifically invites submissions. I'll make one.
