Just a quick question until we get the map; what kind of climate are the Godwastes positioned in? From your locations list, I got the impression that the locales were listed north-to-south, which would imply that the Godwastes kind of mark the northern rim of what is Lerayis. Now this begs the question what exactly Lerayis is (or was?), ergo if it's a country or a continent. In either case, it would depend on where it is located. If it's like, say, Africa, the northern rim would be a desert, but if it's like North America or Europe, then the northern parts would be reasonably cold. Yet, from the description of the Godwastes (cracked, dry ground, ashen wastes), my first instinct is to imagine it being warm there, which would then defy its assumed, northern position. So I'm a little confused as you can see. Adding to this, I would also wonder what people living in or around the Godwastes typically look like, speaking of ethnicities; if it's warm like the place suggests, I would imagine a darker skinned people, but if its far up in the north, then I would expect the opposite.

Thanks for helping me out here ;P
