[NR] Listing new names for the Northern Region

[Cameron Lewis]

After the discussion last Friday at Triumph of the Eclipse some more names started to appear on the web page that was set up for names.

this is the list so far of the names that folks have put up on the web page for everyone to look at.  I have cropped out the names and emails to save some space.  If you would like to see the list with all the info it is here at: http://northstar.scaevent.org/regional-names

If you would like to post your own names then you can go to this address at: http://spreadsheets.google.com/a/scaevent.org/viewform?formkey=dEN4ZXg1OUY2bDcyNG45MDNVdElDTHc6MQ

Have fun,

            14    Glomeval      Conjecturally period, this is a variation on a Norse Runestone found in the Northern Region, outside Heavener, and shows that a Norseman named "Glome" laid claim to the valley, ie: "Glome's Vale", in period, and, in fact, previous to the Spanish expeditions. A possible alternate translation calls the same area "Gnomeval", or "Valley of the Gnomes". The runestone is part of a chain that ran north and south, along the present day Oklahoma/ Arkansas border, or, the current border of Ansteorra and Glen Abhean, and would have referred to not just the immediate valley, but "all points west, as far as Glome could hold".

            26    Axia    It's the word "axis" modified with the -ia place name suffix to signify that our region is Ansteorra's "north star" ( aligned to the polar axis, so to speak).

            + Easy to pronounce
            + Offers the adjective "axial"
