Before I can continue, I need some names:

What is the big body of water by Steschal called? Is that a bay? A sea? By the scale of it, it looks like a sea.
What is the big body of water by Sollingen and Maul called? Is that an inland sea? A lake? By scale, it looks like an inland sea.

@CSLewin

I'll also need a name for the Eastern Ocean.

CSLewin commented 3 years ago

I think we can call the body of water that Steschal is at the northern tip of the "Great Pirran Gulf". It's too big to be a bay or inlet, right?

How's Lake Waldstet work for the Sollingen/Maul water? LAKE MAUL seems a bit dire, and Sollingen is a real place in Germany.

Eastern Ocean: Suggestions welcome. Maybe something Jhil, given their navy?

I like the Great Pirran Gulf.

For Sollingen/Maul, I think we might want to say it's a sea, because by my math, it's considerably larger than Lake Superior, and vaguely in line with the Caspian and Black seas. For the name, what about the "Sea of Wald"? That way "Waldstet" is "Place on the Wald".

For the ocean, what about the "Ahtan Ocean"? The Atlantic is named from myth, and I like the idea that the ocean with the big moon hanging over it is coincidentally named after a moon goddess.
