Care to give some ?

Don't worry, I'll quack if I have an idea that seems worthy of a post. Some excellent suggestions have already been made.

How about... "The Western Rim".

Okay, so maybe that's a no-no.

"The Western Divide"
"The Far Reaches"

[Spiffor]

NEW !
We now have a lake to name (isolated in mountains), a big hills surface, and some other rivers. Please share your ideas !

[Kuciwalker]

Les Montagnes Français. Les Montagnes Rose. Les Montagnes de Guerre.

I think we should name every region in the language of the country that (formerly) occupied it, unless they're, say, the Aztecs or Zulu or other countries for whom it would be kind of hard to translate.

[Jon Shafer]

Can't we keep it in English folks.

You name landmarks because they're just that... something you recognize. Shouldn't everyone be able recognize their name also?

(Forgive me if everyone who's ever passed by Apolytonia is fluent in French, Latin, German, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Indian, and whatever languages the Aztecs, Iroquois and Zulus used)

I just came with the Great Rift, as these huge mountains seems to be the frontier to another, mysterious world filled with Iroquois.
Beyond this Great Rift is a world we know nothing about.

Re the mountains:

Ironholm Mountains

*Gives his big ol' stamp of approval*
Great Rift was what I was trying to come up with earlier, but Spiffy beat me to the punch.

Great Rift sounds good to me. Seems appropriate as Spiffor noted.

[Purple]

Name it "rift" if you like, but the term refers to a valley-type feature, as the the Great Rift Valley in Africa, where two continental plates are separating, eventually to create a new body of water.

How about something like Great Barrier Mts. instead?

hi ,

, Iroquois Alps , ....
, Iroquois Range , ...

have a nice day

[Spiffor]

Come on people ! You know you want to name these rivers ! We have 6 rivers we know of, and only two names for them !

You know you want ot give a name to the sea too !


Purple : I thought "Rift" meant a separation, in a more generic way, that's why I came with this word (I'm not that good in English)

[Purple]

You're right about the basic meaning of rift, but it's more like what results from tearing something apart.

As for your English skills, they are as good as most native English speakers (although that may be faint praise!)
