So that's were I got the name from! My bad, they have no relation whatsoever, would you like me to change it?

No problem!  A change is probably for the better to eliminate confusion.  'Withered Villages' is a fitting substitute from an outside perspective, but would the occupants of those villages refer to themselves as such?  Perhaps something like 'Thornmold Villages' would be a little more subtle, conveying a sense of strength and independence to the villagers but also a threatening feel to onlookers.  Your call.
