Thank you. I'm surprised no questions on the new place names. Surprised and happy, as I don't quite grok them yet.

FS? What's that? Clearly, the Red Emperor sits on a different Pearl Throne than does the Satrap of Bindle. The Red Emperor's throne was carved from a single huge pearl brought back from one of the Red Goddess' heroquests. The Pearl Throne of Bindle is formed of ivory, covered with a veneer of pearl, with decorations chased in brass and gold, and is a relic from Harangvat times.
Well, what do you expect for an answer made up at 1:30 in the morning?

His Eminence Palamtales, Prince of the Alcazar, Governor of the Western Reaches, the Servant of Divine Moonson. Oh, you want a Carmanian word other than shah for "governor"? Not a traditional word. They'd probably borrow a word from New Pelorian, or if there is an Institute for Linguistic Purity in Carmania I'd suspect they'd pick an old word related to, and sounding similar to, Karmanos. Governor works fine for me.
I'm off to bed to sleep tonight off. 'Night all.
