Definition:[edit | edit source]

From the Glossary of Terms - The name for a geographic area, such as the name of a town or region. In the Society, place names are the names of shires, baronies, principalities, kingdoms, and other official branches. SCA and real-world place names can be used to create locative bynames. See also Locative Bynames. [[1]]
