=== '''Maankijkeland''' ===

The first use of the name 'Maankijkeland' in a geographic sense predates any [[Vistaraland|Vistari]] colonial efforts in the region itself, with multiple sources agreeing the name arose during the mid to late 1600s. Originating as a more vague term referring to the lands of mainland East Gondwana to the south of the [[Durdanini|Durdish]] tribes, the name came about as a misnomer, a translation of the Durdish misconception that those who resided there were worshippers of Olune. This led to the [[Vistaraland|Vistari]] referring to the people there as 'Maankijkers', meaning Moongazers, leading to the ascribing of the name Maankijkeland - a name which solidified and became more specific during the Vistari colonization of the region.

=== '''Briaklandr''' ===

The first use of the name 'Briaklandr' was by the Norgsveltian colonial explorer, Fridoff Erikson, during his explorations of the Gondwanan continent in the early 1700s. In which his ship crashed into what is now known as Soleikenborg, during which he spendt time with the native tiefling tribes for shelter, mostly because the lack of choice. According to Fridoff, name Briaklandr, specificaly was to refer to the Duarist god, Månbriak. As such meaning "Lands of Månbriak". Though despite his insistent to call the land by that name, it was not until 1800s [[Norgsveldet|Norgsveltian]] goverment decided to change away from the previous name of Gustaflandr, after King Gustaf I of Norgsveldet.
