[2012.10.02: Added Thrazán and Tocanno.]
[original post from August 2012.]
Figured I'd finally start writing a bit more setting stuff down, maybe even start naming a thing or two and seeing where and if any of the ideas floating around in my head actually connect with each other.
(If you don't care about stuff I make up, skip this post. Otherwise, please let me know if any of the names is a dirty pun on something or otherwise sounds like something stupid or inappropriate.)
The world is split into two known continents, one to the north and one to the south. Travel between them is a long and daunting task, riddled with risk of storms and pirates, monsters and strange winds, where people often disappeared and turned up dead from heat stroke crossing the equator. At its height the Empire spanned both, then retreated to its former territory to the north: for a time it had discovered a way to move great masses instantly past the sea, and with its wealth and promise of power it had directed seven coastal cities in the north to build seven great teleports, each linked to a complement in one of seven cities to the south.
The seven cities to the north are Razval, Angorrul, Thrazán, Tulgoz, Aqravi, Rodellos and Luboc.
The seven cities to the south are Idrepholon, Aitreias, Xiniënar, Luluthuega, Schezatharai, Tocanno and Tobhainan.
( Some descriptions follow. )
