I get all my name meanings from http://20000-names.com/ so if you want to check it out, it's a great site.
Places
----- Dusek [U] (Czech): Spirit
Dusek is a small village that was once a city in Bora but had been destroyed after the kingdom's collapse. Many people who are fleeing go to Dusek because it is a safe area not ruled by any official government. The forest and mountains are so thick in the surrounding area that large armies cannot easily navigate it.
----- Libor [M] (Czech): Freeborn
Port Libor is a major business port in the kingdom that was once Bora, it isn't part of any country and there is no tax (and it provides many avenues to the wealthy northern countries). It is a free city, hence the name.
----- Beaulieu [U] (French): Beautiful Place
Beaulieu is the capital of Artois and one of its richest (if not the richest) city. The Palace which where the Duke lives is centred at the top of the hill, it is said to be the most lovely of the palaces. The whole city roles down the hill with rich people living closest to the palaces and the poorest at the edges. It is surrounded by farm fields on one side and the palace faces the sea. The Story starts here.
----- Bora [M] (Czech): Stranger
A powerful kingdom that collapsed 200 years prior to the start of the story. Its destruction is shrouded in mystery and disturbing rumours, none of which can agree on what happened. The only thing that is consistent is that all tellings agree that something terrible happened in the capital city where the royal family once lived.
----- Les [Word] (Czech): Forest
Bora Les is the forest that surrounds all of the old kingdom of Bora. The forest is one of the most challenging obstacles to navigate for any large groups and although it was fairly large before, it grew exponentially over the last 200 hundred years until the kingdom was nearly completely covered in forest. Locals who live in the forest claim it is almost magical the way trees spring up overnight.
