... Tears of the Kynari ...
Reason: Kynari is the name of the Race living here ... Tears/Waterfall/Godrays would represent the dispair and unrest because of the Civil War going on.
Sacred Fall of Kisia....
giving many have fallen in this area it maybe seen to many as a sacred site=Sacred
WaterFall=Fall
giving that most waterfalls are at or near lakes/rivers Kisia is taking from the Lake that is most likely where this waterfall will be located
Tranquility's Downfall
Darkrane Forest used to be filled with peace and tranquility until traitorous Kynari Darkrane influenced the Lakian Army to declare war on his own race which looked like the downfall of the Kynari and their forest.
Tranquility's Downfall also represents the waterfall and how gorgeous it is.. Just looking at it puts you into a awe of serenity.
Crystal Darkrane Falls
No elaborate evocative reasoning. Darkrane identifies the forest, and I chose Crystal to precede it because the sparkling water makes me think of gemstones and crystals shining in the light.
Freedom's Hold.
In this area a war was fought, lives were given in sacrifice for that freedom. In the end freedom was won. We can see the price of that freedom as there is a peacefulness and calm in this area held onto by the surrounding area.
Verdant Grove
verdant, because it is lush with green vegetation.
and
grove, because it is a small wood without much underbrush.
thats my 2 cents.
The Fall of All Souls
Serenity Falls
Serenity would aptly describe the beautiful waterfall as well as the peaceful forest before the appearance of the Kynari Darkrane. Falls refers to the waterfall, though in more recent times, the name may be a reflection of the shattered tranquility of Darkrane.
Twilights Resonance
During the Twilight is when the beauty of these Falls is truly captured. When the dim light shines warmly against the water, you can see the falls glow with a unimaginable brillance.
Elysian Falls
Isaiah's Respite
Fall of Dreams
Angler Lake
Algon's retreat
Seeding Spills
Kindred Falls
Ranenymphs Refuge
Reason:
This name was given by the local inhabitants, who claim to have seen nymphs along the shore and near the waterside basking in the sunlight, while crossing the bridge you see in the background. The name was given in their belief that the nymphs came here in seek of refuge; not waning to be involved in the civil war, as well as escaping the many dangers of Darkrane Forest.

Bangweulu Fowl
Bangweulu taken from Zambia, South Africa which means "Where the water meets the sky" and Fowl due to the Kynari species taking over which is a general word for birds. It's also a play on words as Foul because of how the Kynari have been unbalancing the ecosystem with their intrusion.
Sacred Altar Forest....
Lucid Eclipse
Full Moon Falls
Isaiah's Woe
Cries of the Fallen
I would say: Kynari's Deceit
As to why: The Kynari are a beautiful race. But, as we will soon find out in the game; The Kynari race are not as beautiful on the inside as we would think. Probably because of Zereca's influence. But nevertheless, their beauty is deceitful as most of them will not hesitate to kill.
The beauty of the forest and the waterfalls are full of deceit as well, as it will be soon home to the bodies of the Aitan's and Lakia's citizens that will fall under the hands of the Kynari.
A little lore contribution to the game as to why as well:
Kynari's Deceit. A once peaceful place, created by they great Goddess Aika as a symbol for tranquility. A symbol that was soon destroyed by the Kynari a beautiful race created by Aika at first, to symbolize beauty and tranquility. But, like Aika's first creations, the Scinic. The Kynari soon grew restless of the peace. All of which happened in the same place. Thus earning the name: Kynari's Deceit.
Cerulean Falls
that's my pick!
Jaded Waters
Radiant Arbor
Clandestine Falls
Amber Nen - Fates water in elvish
The beutiful lush landscape around the waterfall reminds me of the Elves and how every thing they are about is the Earth and its natural beuty so what better name than the fates water or amber nen :)
sanctuary,
because of it looks like a natural safe haven, once inhabbited by the kynari but is long abandoned and nature has taken its place
and is also short, simple, and easily used as a place of reference
Curtain of Falling Memories
The Watcher's Grotto, as the waterfall area is named in Taiwan, was a place populated by Nerines and various other stuff that you have to slaughter. Unlike the prior Tapaeon (Tree of Gratitude) and the subsequent Salia Pond, you're not here to claim revenge for Isaiah's second son or aid the first son of the former Kynari high priest; you're here to meet your old friend - the formerly confidence-less - and now middle-rank - Amelia (and that Aitan from Tabazra that no one remembers or cares about).
Throughout the years, we all change; from a confidence-lacking Aitan to a middle-rank like the player, both Amelia and the player are surprised by what has transpired through the years of separation. Over the death of many nerines, eyeballs, and other assorted anomalies, you and Amelia rekindle your friendship and reminiscence over the past, under the watchful whispers of the Cascade. A scene is evanescent and an image easily a forgotten glimmer of the past, but a true friendship is a beautiful and ameliorating memory.
Looking upon the falling cascade, you feel as if you're reliving a pleasant memory of the past before all of this warfare and constant struggles. A chat with an old friend beneath a beautiful scene; from here, you wonder just how many people have done the same, and how many happy memories the little grotto had witnessed. Truly, the streams had flown and watched the sad pieces of war and betrayal - the betrayed Kynaris and the impatient ninth company that occupied the forest - but perhaps those figments would become pieces of the past, overshadowed by the happiness that pours into the lake. Within the grotto and the marvelous waterfalls, there is only balance.
You wonder if, perhaps ironically, that High Priest Isaiah felt likewise when he named the place.
Falls of Life
Crystalline Heaven
Falls of Meditation
Aitan's Rest

Yggdrasil`s Roots

Laguna
lakia's promised land.
Halcyon's Cascade
Moonlight Falls
This is where the goddess bathed and once met a fine young prince, The prince cheated on her and every night when the moon is full the goddess can be heard crying along the banks.
Mystic Falls Of Aika
Eternal Falls
- This is the once hallowed land of the Goddess, brought forth to provide safety and harmony to all the people of Lakia. For many centuries it has stood as a symbol of the eternal peace of Darkrane forest. But today, it is known as a place of great danger. All that is touched by these rippling waters grow dark, and it has become surrounded by dangerous creatures. Many brave Aitans have come forth and fought to regain control of the Eternal Falls, although few have made it out alive.
Just as eternal as the falls of these waters, will be the falls of the brave.
Today, this land is known as a final place of rest for the fallen.
Fallen Eden of Kynari
I came up with this name because it somewhat resembles the image of Eden in my perspective. I think the Eden image suits it well.
Land of Chaos
Depths of the Serenity's Tears
Derka Falls
Falls Of Wealth

Kynari's Paradise ...
Athena Lake
Marshland Of Pravus Diamonds
Laika's Tears. Was tempted to go with Viagra Falls but decided better.
Isaiah's Memory
Among all the chaos that ensued from Darkrane's treachery, this place still stands as a symbol of better days of peace and honor under Isaiah's reign. It is a constant and undying reminder of what once was, and perhaps what will be again.
Since the place is called Darkrane Forest, I was thinking naming it "The Dark Waterfalls".
Darkness Falls
Rane's Lament
All i could think of =P
Lake of Darkrane Forest Spirits
Reaper's Vale - I like this because alot of these other names seem to fairy-like and not what a bad ass game like this should have ;D
Dream Light
As in name of Darkrane Forest, this place look bright and peaceful, good place to rest and relax, so I inverse the dark with light.
Falls Of Vengence

best i can do .
gl every one.
Tears of Lakia
every tear shed winds up here thus forming the pool of tears :) idk sounds good to me :)
The Tears Of Lost Innocence.
I chose this name because it kind of fits the whole theme. Darkrane forest was (and is) a beautiful place, but the civil unrest greatly overshadows this. This place is a sort of testimony to the lost beauty of Darkrane Forest And the Kynari people.
Eclipse of Eternity
Monarch's river.....Oh dammit...too late ..Anyway what u think guys?
Piaculum of Memories
In which Piaculum is latin for Atonement which is also saying reconciliation or redemption so in which meaning;
Reconcilitation of Memories,
Redemption of Memories, or
Atonement of Memories.

Darkran's Pride
Since this waterfall a small paradise in the middle of that dark forest, making it its pride.

Sorrow Falls
Before the betrayal of Darkrane the Sorrow Falls was known as Serenity Falls, a place of meditation and tranquility for all kynari and humans alike. But after the murder of High Castor Isaiah and the human invasion of their land the falls became a place of sorrow for all the kynari, where once there was peace now there is war, where once where tranquilty now it is sorrow.
Majestic Fall
Crystal Dreams Of Kynari
I already posted but it came to my mind maybe tweek it a lil;
Piaculum Falls or Piaculum Falls of Memory
PS:Piaculum=Reconciliation, redemption
Falls of Deception
Entry: Mossunbridge Falls
Reason: Well, it's obviously located at a waterfall, so logically, it should end in "Falls." The first part of the name though, I wanted to be creative but also to make it similar to the screenshot posted and background info. So, on the trees are moss, where the word comes into play, "moss" and there is a bridge in the background. So, "Moss Bridge." But, to "spice it up," I made it similar to the maps name, Darkrane. "Dark rain" would make me think of a dark cloud with heavy rain, in this case, a monsoon. So, I would come up with "Mossun Bridge Falls." Shortened it from two words to one word though, but could go either way.
Plus, there is the fact that it could be "Dar Krane" as in, a crane, as the Kynari are Half-man/Half-bird. Cranes were known to be an omen in Greek Mythology, which is possibly where it plays here with the Kynari. So, a "dark rain monsoon" can be an omen from the "Darkrane" as one of his plans to confuse with the inhabitants of Darkrane Forest, or even the Aitan.
Hope I make it in time, as the deadline was switched today. Good luck, everyone!~
Hunger's Smile
Also already posted, but this idea was stuck in my head for some reason:
[b]Serin Falls[/b]
No particular story behind the name this time; just trying to suggest a name that doesn't use common fantasy RPG words like star or shadow.
Also:
[b]Auguryz Cascade[/b]
