Unless there is some overarching "NO"
I say that we will be calling
Purpleland- Eperos
Turqoiseland- Xia
Light Greenland still needs naming but right now Arkiania and Sal are the only ones over there sooooooooooo.....I'm inclined to leave it to them to find more ideas/settle on something.

I'm fine with whatever y'all decide. I suck at naming things lol.
RE: Continent Names - Flo - 05-18-2020
Eperos and Xia it is.
I like Calcaya for the third

Ideas for the light green/South America analogue.
Some Quechua-inspired ideas (for pronunciation, stress goes on the penultimate syllable; it's TAco, not taCO.):
- Runa - From the word for "people", [Runa llaqta].
- Alpa or Aipa - From the word for "land", [Allpa].
- Cararca - From the phrase "to feed thousands of people", [Pachan qararqan].
- Colcaya or Coicaya - From the word for "fertile", "lush", or "wealthy", [Qollqeyoq].
- Cumir or Caimir - From the word or "green", [Q'umir].
Some Aymara-inspired ideas (honestly, no clue how this language is pronounced but assuming it's similar, so use the rule above.):
- Utana - From the word for "homes", [Utanakasa].
- Usuri - From the word for "abundant", "wealthy", or "bountiful", [Usuri].
- Cawaia or Cawaya - From the word for "vast" or "wide", [Qawaya].
Or just choose a random Aztec or Incan god[dess] and use that. Whichever.
Also, along the same vein as the names, how would the people that live in these areas like to come up with the names of stuff for their local geographical features, and describe the local biospheres and particulars of their climates? I know we have some general descriptions of the continents at large, but maps and descriptions like that would be cool.
