I’m always curious as to how authors use linguistics in their settings. I love the classic Forgotten Realms and was wondering if @TheEdVerse had a specific template/inspiration for naming places?

No. What I've done down the years is think about who would have settled/predominated in a spot, what in-Realms language they speak, and what dipthongs and dominant vowel sounds and constructions are in this tongues. That in mind, I just make place names up. #realmslore
