Map of Þérge:

This map was made for a previous project of mine, and as such, it is for a different era in Þérge's history. Specifically, 724 First Age of Kings. That year is specific because it happens to be the year in which Þérge fell to the plague of the necromancer. A lot of the place names still remained the same even by 880, when this story takes place.

Places

Cérsedd – (Care-seth) – Despite the modern spelling of the name beginning with a K, the original spelling is preserved in writing as a sign of respect, for Cérsedd was the home of the hero Leanen. At the time of the Undead Hero’s life, the western regions of Þérge still had a lot of Mhannic influence in spelling. Interestingly, like many areas adjacent to the Mhannic lands, the Thergic language in these regions was commonly written from bottom to top instead of left to right, despite using the AiluweiR script.

Dormedon - (Door-mah-den)

Ekír Nadón - (Ek-hear Nah-don)

Elbregn - (Ell-bray-gen)

Kaðrosedd – (Kah-thro-seth) – The final syllable ends a slightly more abrupt stop than the normal “th” sound like in “ð”

Mhán - (Vawn)

Nahtkroínen - (Natt-kroy-nen)

nOthair Moíla - (Noh-hair moy-la) – Like many forests, lakes, oceans, and mountains, the Old Mháner name is typically used.

Síarn - (Shee-arn)

Þérge – (Thair-geh) – In the central regions of Þérge, a common accent drops the “th” sound in favor of a “t” sound, resulting in the heartlander pronunciation sounding similar to “Tear-geh”

Watnóþål - (Vaht-no-thul)

Other

Brannaht - (Brahn-natt)

Stékkr - (Stay-kur)
