Let's use this as a starting place for possible renaming of Spine zones. We have the following known zones:

  1. 078 - Jangai Pass (keep)
  2. 114 - Spine of the World Southern Range (aka tall thief zone - probably ok to keep this)
  3. 116 - High Upon the Spine of the World (aka rep maiden zone - probably ok to keep this)
  4. 117 - Deep Within the Spine of the World (aka Predators zone - probably ok to keep this)
  5. 118 - The Spine of the World (just south of Jangai - needs a new name, thoughts?)
  6. 121 - Treacherous Mountains (aka Ants zone - probably ok to keep this)
  7. 161 - Stedding Shangtai (keep)

So, Jangai Pass we already fixed, and the Stedding is a no-brainer. We certainly should change zone 118, any ideas? The others are unique enough that they could stay, though if you know of better names let me know. Russ3Z (talk) 22:05, January 1, 2017 (UTC)

188 - A Valley Through the Spine of the World
188 - Valley in the Spine of the World
188 - Desolate Valley
121 - Treacherous Mountains in the Spine
121 - Treacherous Mountains Within the Spine
Couple ideas based on room descriptions. Do we want all of the zones in the spine to have the word spine for easy identification?

I assume you meant 118 instead of 188 there. I'm inclined towards brevity where possible, so of the three you mentioned "Desolate Valley" would be my first choice. However, see below.
Your idea of having "Spine" in the name of spine zones (where needed, Jangai Pass is great without it, for instance) might be something useful. Most of the Spine zones seem to already, so there's a good precedent. On that, my choices would probably be something like "Desolate Valley in/within the Spine" (I like the Desolate Valley part more than just "valley", so this combines both) for 118, and either version of 121 you mentioned. I'll let you make the choices though.
I'm guessing you're fine with the current names for 114, 116, and 117, so go ahead and choose your preferred names for 118 and 121 and we'll keep rolling. Russ3Z (talk) 03:54, January 2, 2017 (UTC)

Right on, will try these out and keep 114, 116, and 117 with the official names.

  • 118 - Desolate Valley in the Spine
  • 121 - Treacherous Mountains Within the Spine
