[QUOTE="Zarrock God of Evil, post: 239990, member: 2025"] This wasn't really the topic of the discussion was it? Before we hijack the thread I'll just say that the FR names are generally easy to remember and often have a very cinematic feel. Cormyr, Sembia and Chondath are all good country names that stick to your mind. Waterdeep, Evermeet etc. are descriptive as well as being evocative. If I look around at the names of cities and places here in Denmark (Denmark itself means sth along the line of Field of the Danes) that have their roots in the middleages, I would come out with names like these: Cloister of Loegum (Løgumkloster) Smith's Town (Smedeby) Merchantharbour (Copenhagen - København) Etc. People often name locations after what function or characteristic they have. There's nothing weird about it - not in the real world and not in the FR. So let's drop it and return to the main discussion.... -Zarrock [/QUOTE]
