Men’s Names ABC DEF GHI JKL MNO • Women’s Names • Place Names • Other Names

These names should be taken with a grain of salt. Some of them are the real names of real places, others are the made-up names of real places, and the rest are made-up names of made-up places. Authors inserted kingdoms and castles into the story as they needed them, with a cheerful disregard for the geography of the real world.

The identification of the modern locations should also be taken with a grain of salt. Very few castle and battle locations are known for certain.
