Talk:Ice Plains

Proposing a title change
This part of Serpent Isle is referred to in many ways, and unfortunately there is no definitive name to draw upon, but a search of the Usecode reveals "Northern Regions" definitely isn't one of them. Therefore, I think we need a new article title.

I've tried to tally up what the most frequently used references are:

Multiple instances

 * the North: 3 (capitalized only; there are several additional common references to "the north")
 * the far north: 4
 * frozen north: 3
 * Ice Plains: 2 (one of which is what appears when casting Locate)
 * Northlands: 2

Single instances

 * Plains of Ice
 * the distant north
 * northern lands
 * northern wastes

The capitalization/lack thereof is just as it appears in the game. With an obvious preference toward those with multiple instances, my personal vote would be for "Frozen North" or "Ice Plains." The former incorporates the widely used "North", is probably the most descriptive/useable article title of that variety, and is broad enough to encompass the islands as well as the mainland (arguably unlike the latter). However, "Ice Plains" does have the significant Locate factor working in its favor, and is one of the few names that are actually a proper noun in the game. I'd be happy with either of these choices. --Terilem 23:28, 8 March 2011 (PST)
