Thanks for clearing that up, Indirik, and I apologize for using this topic for my inquiry.

VonGenf, there aren't any, I was defining what I meant by 'geographic.'

Anaris, I figured it was only if the map was geographically accurate, in reference to my former post. I'm still new here and didn't know enough to make that claim outright.

Indeed vanKaya, but if the map is also an accurate geographical layout (latitude and longitude) then Dwilight is not really in the middle of the planet, it's more like Australia.

You are right though that it is acceptable if the languages are borrowed from real life (I'm still new here so I wasn't aware of that) and I suppose it doesn't have to be changed.

The title has a hefty cost, but would be worth the gold if one could spare it.

Unfortunately, the duke Rhino just swore an oath to is a figurehead of "The Path." It should be interesting to see how it works out for him.

I'm just going to throw in my two cents here, I read your original post JP, but not the entire thread yet, so forgive me if this has been addressed: Why is the region's climate referred to as Mediterranean? It's a reference that we understand, of course, but it's a climate archetype labeled by a region that doesn't exist in our characters' world and therefore describes nothing about the region to our characters: it's meaningless to them.

It's an easy fix as well: semi-arid, sub-tropical. This description also makes sense if we are to compare Dwilight to Australia. In fact, there are a few things Dwilight has in common with Australia: the same hemisphere, a desert in the center of the continent, and semi-arid and sub-tropical coastlines.

Hey Torpius, it's Rhino!

I agree with some of the original responses that superstitions are much more fun and suitable for the relative time period in actual human history. The rituals both before and after battle make a very nice touch. It would also provide great immersion into the characters.

Also, adding 'Flame Paladin' as a title is pretty cool.
