OK, campaign is now set in Golarion (Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting). The country is Katapesh (excerpt attached).
Race Names: I'm going to use what I've done with languages as Old Azlanti (the language of the human rulers of Golarion in ages past). The altered race names I've come up with will be the names the races use to refer to themselves, the 'general public' will use the more common Elf, Dwarf, etc. That should make things a little less constraining - we can now intersperse 'Common' and Azlanti references freely.
No changes to characters as far as names, personality, feats, skills, etc please. I like the group we've got going, and I think it would disrupt continuity to switch stuff around. Feel free to look at the Golarion campaign setting or the Legacy of Fire Player's Guide for country of origin and character traits (the Player's Guide has some specific to Katapesh).
For those of you who like PrC's, there are several specific to Golarion and to Katapesh that will be available if you wish to be looking ahead and planning skill/feat selections.
Books to obtain/read (entirely optional):
Golarion Campaign Setting, Dark Markets: A Guide to Katapesh, Legacy of Fire Player's Guide, and any other of the Pathfinder Chronicles stuff.
Ryan, I believe there is room for another Deity in the Golarion pantheon. Unless you'd rather choose one of the published deities (there's not one that really fits well) I'm perfectly fine with you sticking with Lonrach. We'll make him a minor Dwarven deity who emerged during the Quest for Sky (the Dwarven migration from their lairs in the Darklands - Golarion's version of the Underdark - to the surface). If I get ambitious I may even do a full write up on him
