You can't go wrong with that choice, it's close to the Black Sea and not far to the South you have Rila, Pirin and the Rodopi mountains. To the North there is the Danube, cradle of life for Europe according to Celtic myth and lore.Plus my home town is at the base of the Balkan mountains <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />For Duretepp's realm i'd say Iceland. It's remote enough and can be viewed as "the end of the earth" by some.Your suggestions? I'd be glad to hear them! I'm thinking of making Mt. Fuji a plateau instead of an active volcano, and having the city founded there, although without magic it will be hard to provision it with food from the lowlands. I'll have to give it some more thought, but I also have things to do for my own game as i'm 3 days late with the update, so it might be some time.Heliasillyel would give it a very Elven name. Me as a player - something appropriate. Contrary to popular belief i am not equal to my characters <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> In fact, a good fantasy writer can put his or her mind to a multitude of personalities, characters and cultures. Fantasy is above all else, diversity.For the name - Heliasillyel, i think it rather obvious: Helios - Titan of the sun in Greek mythology. Helia - female variant. Sillyel -l an Elven sounding group of syllables. The -el suffix comes from Tolkein, as one could have guessed. Sillyel just has a light feminine sound to it. Hence Heliasillyel. Nuevuyar - nuevo is new in Spanish, coming from the Latin novos. Uyar sounds like a good word for light in Elven. Well something like uyall would sound better but it would be too many "L" sounds in the name, so Nuevuyar it is (new light). There, now you have the reasoning behind the name, maybe now it will be easier to comprehend <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
