Are the continents shaped like a head and body on purpose? That would explain the names Godsmind and Godsbod.

There's been some debate in the comments regarding the names, it seems. Personally I'm fine with most name changes. I remember when you first planned out Taming Dreams and Gemsand was still Goznor. I didn't like the change at first, but now I'm used to it I rather like it, actually.

I like the names Lake Lacrimosa and Heropolis myself, the former has some nice alliteration and makes sense considering the morose people who inhabit it. The latter is a wordplay on Acropolis much like Aeropolis was. All things considered it's a good way to translate it from "Air Element" place to "Bold Sentiment" place.

The only location names I think need more consideration are Godsbod and Godsmind. They don't roll off the tongue and sound weird. I'm sure you can think of something else that fits the same divinity and mind/body dichotomy without being quite so literal.

I do like the surnames. Honeyblood is very fitting, you can easily imagine Mardek wishing he had honey for blood, it fits his cloyingly sweet attitude while also having some dark undertones, it's still blood after all.

I can also imagine Mardek constantly mispronouncing Elwyen's name as "Nympheater".

The only one that stands out is Fathom because it feels like it doesn't fit in with the others. Just like Emeela herself, ha! I'm assuming this might just be a Bold/Meek thing then. This could actually be an interesting way to further distinguish the races, if they all have their own naming conventions.

Reminds me that Mardek actually wished for some chocolate rainbow puppy thing in Taming Dreams.

Maybe he'll ask Elwyen how Nymphs taste like next.
