DnD World Name Generator

The main ones are Toril (home of the Forgotten Realms and the continent of Faerûn), Oerth (Greyhawk), Krynn (Dragonlance), Athas (Dark Sun), Eberron, Mystara, Nerath (the 4th edition default), Aebrynis (Birthright) and the Demiplane of Dread, Ravenloft. Exandria and Wildemount come from Critical Role, and Golarion is the Pathfinder setting. They are included at the top of the list as reference points.

Use a single invented word (Vaelthara, Skelvaryn) if the name will be spoken constantly and printed on maps, and an epithet (The Sundered Continent, The Lantern Coast) if the world is mostly referred to by its history or geography. Many DMs use both: a formal name for the planet and a nickname the common folk actually use.

The original names are free to use in homebrew, published adventures, novels and video games. Steer clear of the official trademarked settings (Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Exandria and so on) for anything commercial, and run a quick search to make sure another creator has not already built a well-known setting with the name you pick.

Choose one style for the world itself, then let the regions drift by culture: a Norse-flavoured north (Myrkholm), a Latin-flavoured old empire (Regnum Aureum) and an Arabic-flavoured desert (Sahrakesh) inside a world called Ithrendal suggests migration and history. Our DnD continent, kingdom and city generators follow the same conventions so the layers match.
