World Building for D&D? Writing? Just for fun because you're a nerd like me? Here's (another) way to make place names, this time, it's easy, quick, simple, and shows a little bit about the cultures of the world.

If you use adblock... you monster......... I need to feed my KIDS. HOW COULD YOU?!

Here's a little world building for you. At the end, there's a map of Appendus, the land of the Vaettr (related to elves). The southeastern half, from the Gabhal Dynasty, to Sud Vekni, up to Teos was controlled 150 years ago by the Empire of Areo. Areo gained power by discovering elemental magic, and diffused it through its conquests. The administration of such a large empire collapsed in on itself in a short time, and soon the native peoples were able to reestablish their own autonomy. Since then, the Saesics have been expanding more and more, the dynasties of Drumaul have consolidated and began to fight each other in massive civil wars. In the southwest, the Kaitechtien Empire is hoping that Oudica II, the successor to Mayica the Conqueror, will live up to his father's accomplishments (he won't). To the north, the Gnomes from across the Morning Ocean carve their colony of Tryum from the untamed tribes of the region. Ohlām and King Gikrate have just created a pact that will hopefully drive the Stubbornfoot armies out of Appendus once and for all...

Inevitable flames in the comments about another place names video: this was gonna be a part of the next one but I decided just to make it its own thing. It's separate anyways so I don't really care.
