Choosing Place Names

Just like choosing the names of characters, choosing appropriate names for places can really add an extra layer of believability to your mission.

Towns and Cities

Older towns and cities, or those closer to the center of the Empire, will often have names with a Latin influence (eg, Vinovia, Lindum). Other, newer towns will have more British-sounding names (eg, Aberarad, Halstead, Coniston). Cities that have a large port often have "port" at the end of their name (Bridgeport).

Towns on the western or northern edges (conquered later in the Empire's history) will probably have names that sound more Germanic (eg, Flensburg, Braeden, Esslington).
