Place names (RotE Spoilers)

[maulkin]

A slight digression. I cannot find any place names similar to Jamaillia (unless you count a restaurant in Los Angeles). As a route in, I tried researching the title "Satrap". Unsurprisingly, this title is Persian but, surprisingly, it referred to a provincial governor, subservient to the semi-divine emperor. In Jamaillia, the Satrap himself is regarded as divine and he certainly does not appear to acknowledge the authority of any master. Perhaps Jamaillia is a surviving fragment of a fallen empire and the Satrap of Jamaillia has usurped the emperor's status and authority while retaining his original title.
