Peace be with all members from both mailing lists!

So far, we have the following suggestions for the naming of the newly discovered lands to the south of the Knowne World:

Lux de Sur
 
Praia de Âmbar (Amber Beach)
 
Embertree
  
Arboris Favilla (Ember tree)
 
Cruciveram (True Cross)

A piece of Brazilian trivia: the colors of Brazilian flag are green, representing the forests (no so sadly reduced); yellow, representing gold, precious metals and gemstones (still found a-plenty); blue, representing the sky (now a bit poluted); and white, representing a land of piece: a green rectangle with yellow diamond and a blue circle, all on top of each other (heraldry experts can describe it properly), with a white ribbon bearing the words "Ordem e Progresso" (Order and Progress - a positivistic moto) accross the circle, one single star above the ribbon representing Brasilia, our capital city, and several other stars below it representing the states.  These little pieces of Brazilian trivia are sent as a source of inspiration.

Keep the suggestions coming!  Soon, there will be election!  In friendship,

Glaura Branca Pereyra de Santa Maria

The honor is to serve.
