THE CHRONICLES OF KTISIS - A FEW DETAILS
The name of the realm/planet in which the action is taking place is Ktisis (from the Greek created).
Countries appearing so far:
I. Virere- territory generally full of lush vegetation, abounding in resources, generally fair weather
Inhabitants: Viridians
Capital: Vireda
Border city (military): Cuspis – from the Lat. for spear, pointed end of a spear
Royal family: Cenchros dynasty – Lat. word for diamond
King Imbris - from the Latin word for hail, storm
Queen Astria – from the Lat. Word for star

Pantheon
The most important gods so far: the twin Godesseses Quies (Lat. for calm, peace) – the Goddess of Peace and Aecus (Lat. for just, impartial) – Goddess of Justice.
Other gods:
Arvia, goddess of fertility, life and vegetation (from the Lat. word for arable land)
Ignis (Lat. term for fire and passion), the god of the sun and god of lust
twin sister of Ignis, Selaen (obviously from the Lat. term for moon) – goddess the moon and of pure love.
II. Sodora, the Floating city – obviously the name comes from a mix of Sodoma and Gomora and floating because it continuously move location and is magically anchored by its leader in a certain space for a period of time.
It is more or less a neutral territory and in terms of location, it is somewhere at the border between Aithenne and Virere, in a general western direction.
This particularly city is an amalgam of races and nationalities, so we didn't use a specific language in this case. Basically, it is a city of rogues, assassins and vices.
Here goes:
Theli – Komo-Nubayo (leader) of the city
The name Theli is taken from Sefer Yezirah's Book of Creation. It refers to a great dragon holding its tail in its mouth and constantly trying to gain entrance to heaven.
Eztli – Theli's Gashi (second in command) – his name comes from the Aztec word for blood
Just in case you're wondering, the titles are anagrams or fragments of the Yakuza hierarchy.
General currency: javar – from java (coffee) – totally invented name, courtesy of Frolic Horror sighs
Other currency used – nubis, srad, khanya (Wynn currency – from the Zulu word for shiny)
III. Aithinne
Now this one won't be appearing much the first part of the story, it was vaguely mentioned in the first and third chapter by Eri, but it really doesn't matter that much right now. So this information is basically for geographical purposes at this point, until we find it in our hearts to write the continuation (insert mysterious laugh)
It is the so called "demon-country", South of Virere, territory more or less barren with desert vegetation, volcanos and underground caves, has long-time rivalry with Virere
The term from comes from old Irish and means firebrand
Inhabitants: Aitheens
Capital city: Steairn: Irish – blazing fire
Royal family: Crà-dhearg dynasty: Early Irish – blood red
King Tâkslo – pre-Gaelic: weapon
Queen Neimi – Old Irish: poison
Offspring in order of birth:
Prince Nathir – Old Irish: serpent
Prince Dothim - Early Irish: to singe
Prince Stidean: Gaelic – cat/kitten
Currency: srad – Irish – spark of fire
It is the ideal place for summoning an Underworld demon, because the veil between worlds is thinner here.
