Description

From the publisher:
Have you ever heard of Stalbeck, Isishira or Colliunza? How about Al Qaţalī, Hamångborg or Agélais? Probably not, because they don’t exist. But they sound like they might, and when it comes to fantasy worldbuilding that’s all that matters.

We built an algorithm to deconstruct sets of real city, town and location names from different countries, regions and cultures around the world and then automagically reassemble them into real-sounding alternatives. We combed through thousands of these procedurally-generated names and curated the 1,296 best ones for you to use freely in your worldbuilding.

In this 18-page, printer-friendly PDF, you’ll find 36 lists of not-quite-real names from England, Japan, Scandinavia, Southeast Asia, North Africa, Polynesia and more than two dozen other parts of the world. Pluck out one at a time as needed or populate whole kingdoms in your own worlds with these unique, themed sets of place names.
