Actually, it is forerunner and that is a good idea! But, I've already got a name (just for you LlamaMaster <_<). During the point of the concepts creation, I went to Sunny for his awesome naming skills. He named it Silva Virga. Then again, it could possibly need a renaming if I make it that style anyway, as Silva means something similar to green land/forests and virga is a mist like thing. Seeing as how it won't have that kind of style, maybe I could use a new name?
Also, thanks ExAm

Go to the October issue of GFW (Games For Windows). Page 22. In that main picture there is a building. Does that building look familiar to anyone.:D

"Duro" is the first-person singular present active tense, not infinitive. If you get past that...
Its infinitive form (durare) means "to harden" or "to endure", thus the english derivatives "durability" and "duration". If you get past that...
It being translated as "to dry" is really stretching its potential context. For the sake of artistic license I suppose it's acceptable, though. Once you get past that, however...
You need an adjective (durus). Now, after all of this...
Finally, I've never heard of the word "ararius". Are you sure you're not thinking of "aridus" (which means 'dry' or 'barren' to begin with)?
Essentially, latin epithets fail for CE maps because people have no idea how to translate. (Soli Deo Gloria =/= Gloriae Soli Dei)

The Wooded Woods? :p
Not sure where his translation is coming from. If you really stretch context applicability, 'virga' could be translated as something similar to 'rainbow', but not mist per se. If you want a latin name, come to me. Hell, I could give pretty good english suggestions, too.
