The first set is for the one that is almost entirely swamp. The second is for the more varied one. Below I thought I would also include some descriptions to help give an idea of what I was thinking.
Naming the Unnamed Lands:
Main Board: Mylum
Sub-board 1: Wispy fen
Sub-board 2: Mire of misery
Sub-board 3: Faulsia bog
Naming the Unnamed Lands:
Main Board: Gwain
Sub-board 1: burning barrens
Sub-board 2: Placid peaks
Sub-board 3: Gwain Lagoon
Wispy fen: Named for the commonly occurring will 'o wisps that appear throughout the area. The people who live here have gotten access to a rather unique view and the natural gas pockets of the fen.
More of Misery: Generally considered beyond redemption this place gets its name from the fact that it seems good for nothing except breeding biting insects and irritating plants.
Faulsa bog: It was simply named for the person who mapped it. It is basically a giant mud pit with occasional patches solid enough to build on.
Burning Barrens: Is exactly what it says on the tin. At some time in the past an underground vein of coal got lit by some natural event. After decades of burning, the land burning hot and cannot support vegetation. Lava tubes and geysers are now adding to the heat as weakened bedrock has allowed them to seep through.
Placid peaks: An advertising lie like Greenland, the peaks are anything but placid. Winds whip around them and snow falls year round at the top. The slopes are full of rocky outcroppings and sheer cliffs.
Gwain lagoon: the lagoon that separates much of Gwain from the ocean. A chain of islands keep it calm and gental year round. The ocean and island chain are anywhere from 100 meters to several kilometers out.
