Surrounding Timischburg: names

A few names to round out the Timischburg setting:
  • Timischburg—the first developed and main part of the setting; everything else is deliberately meant to surround it.  Of course, as things evolve, much more may happen outside of Timischburg than within it in the future, for all I know.  This is a kind of Medieval Transylvania or Wallachia or something like that; a pseudo-Austrian aristocracy over a more Eastern population of peasants, lots of Gothic horror influences.
  • Terassa—immediately to the east of Timischburg; this is a kind of immediately post-unification Spain; Aragon and Leon and Castille, etc. are all components and still have their own characters, to some degree.  There's an elfish enclave or reservation or whatever you want to call it here too.
  • al Qazmir—an Arabian Nights-like country south of the sea from Terassa and eastern Timischburg; home of the jann as an exotic aristocratic race.
  • Carlovingia—a pseudo-Frankish empire located to the northeast of Timischburg, and the probable source of the Timischer aristocracy.  Can be seen as either a unified Carolingian Empire, or an early Holy Roman Empire, or even an analog to the Warhammer Empire, if you like.
  • Lexovii—pseudo-Gauls and other Celts, directly north of the Timischburg lands.  This isn't a "country" so much as it is a "nation."  There are other people who live in their lands—goblins and dwarfs, specifically, although we'll see how much I want to emphasize that.
  • Vossmark—north of the Lexovii are the fake Vikings.
  • Tesculum—west of the Lexovii and the northern parts of Timiscburg, and even bordering on Vossmark is the quite large Graeco-Roman styled kingdom, and one where I'd like to see more expansion, actually.
  • Gunaakt—the orc-lands, south of Tesculum and immediately east of the southern part of Timischburg.
  • Baal Hamazi—fractured kingdom east of Gunaakt.
  • Nizrekh—an island kingdom south of Gunaakt; a hybrid of Cryx from Warmachine and an Nehekhara from Warhammer, kinda.  
I still don't have a map, but I'll probably put together a very sketchy one shortly.  Less sketchy than this one, I mean.
