I had not thought of that before - it is odd. Of course, there have been many uniting rulers of Pelanda - The Blue King (sort of), Daxdarius (maybe), Gartemirius (certainly), Lendarsh (probably), Dara Happa (for a while), the Spolites, the Carmanians, and the Lunars. I think the Pelandan cities are only occasionally truly independent city-states. The cities do provide a cultural identity for the people living around them, though.>>

<<But Greek history had "Dark Period" of History that made their history
blank
after Sea People and Dorians ravaged Mycenae Civilization....and the Classic greeks didn't know who made the gigantic ruins of their aborigines, and they imagined heroes and cyclops who made roads through rocks and mountains.>>

That is a cool idea! There is a similar occurrence in Cambodia, where the people thought Angor Wat was built by gods (I think). Perhaps the Pelandans didn't realize that it was their ancestors that made these great works until the coming of the Lunars and Valare Addi's Travel and Journey. Certainly the Darkness was a terrible catastrophe for Pelanda - especially in the north.>>

Enthyr (Spolite): Capital of Spolite Empire of Gloom (Goddess Oktaki?)

Harandash (Carmania): Glorious Capital of Carmania before Dragonkill...

Haranshold (Carmania & Darjiin?): Maybe the name itself hints the complicated cultural origin of the city....(Haran was the Padishah just after Alkothiad and before Dragonkill....)

Osthens: Turo's Cave. The Voice was from the crack of the underworld, maybe it is similar to the Oracle of Pythians (Delphi) by the priestess of Apollo...it seems that King of Kendesos, YarGan also seems to expose his patron's intention (Erstoro, later, GanEstoro IMHO) by similar method

Peldre (Pelanda): City of Daxdarius

Red City (Naveria, Glamour?): Red King Vantestos and Goddess Naveria (though it is located in Outside of Oronin....Jernotian Mythology can be found in this area, too, see Entekosiad mythology that of Oedipus-like mythos) Greg said that Lunars of Glamour thinks that their city was founded over the ancient ruin of this city...but in fact it is not the case....
