So, after sitting around for a little bit, I’ve completed the mapping process for the next book in The Four Part Land. It’s the second book in the Tarranau series, and will take place in a land called Læccan. The book itself is tentatively titled “Læccan Waters”.
Each of the areas in TFPL is personalized and given an old world language. The for Chloddio and Tarranau it’s Welsh, with a few hints of Cornish or Manx thrown in. For the new world that Tarranau is going to enter, I’ve chosen Anglo-Saxon. Below are the names of the major towns and cities, as a taste of the flavour and style of Anglo-Saxon.
Æbban Dún, Æbbercurnig, Andbita, Angnes, Cáserlic, Gárwiga, Grýtan, Hálsiend, Heardlic, Herewulf, Íegbúend, Lufestre, Néahéaland, Telgian, Tyhtan, Þáwian, Þracian.
I’d love comments on whether this style of naming characters and places works for you as a fantasy reader.
