Cymru — A Prytennian city located where Cardiff is sited in our world. Cymru was the name the Cymry (Celts of the area) gave to their land, but as the Trifold ‘cult’ expanded from Aqua Sulis into the region of the first dragonate, Prytennians began to use Cymru to refer to the city instead of the country.
Dacia Traiana — Roman province where Romania is. Traiana is for the Roman who conquered the pre-existing Dacia.
Danuin — The “Isle of Clouds” to the west of Prytennia. Completely surrounded by mist. Can only be entered with the assistance of a Tuatha Dé guide or by flying over the top of the clouds. Ruled by a High King of Tuatha Dé Danaan. Was completely inaccessible for nearly five hundred years, but started sending out trade boats two hundred years ago. It is rumoured, though denied by the Tuatha Dé, that the wall of mist used to shield the country from invasion has taken on a will of its own.
