The Toponymy of Fictional Geography
In real-world cartography, places are named after physical landmarks, legendary founders, or strategic defensive features. An English village ending in -ford tells you where travelers crossed a shallow river, while a settlement ending in -bury indicates an ancient defensive hill fort.
Fantasy Realms vs. Cosmic Sectors
Fantasy kingdoms evoke ancient majesty through compounds like Valgard, Mythspire, or Sanctuary of Oakhaven. Sci-fi stations and colonies utilize astronomical designations, Greek titans, and catalog numbers like Hyperion Station, Aegis Outpost, or Proxima Reach.
