One problem I have always had with settings like Forgotten Realms is that everything is named. There is no frontier, no wildlands, no untamed country that doesn't actually have everything named. This seems odd to me.
Now obviously, in the case of most of the Americas, the places they were encountering were populated by natives. And those natives had names for those places. But there was nobody on Cape Verde until the Europeans arrived. So if you played a historical game in 1400, the map should not have anything on Cape Verde. That should be "unnamed".
So what do you think about a setting/module where there is a significant portion of the map totally lacking names. The party.... the adventurers and explorers.... have to add them? Thoughts?
