    • Matt: It starts with letters that haven't been used very often in other areas, so I'll be like, all right, I made a Stillben, so that's an S name so I don't want to make another S named town nearby, so I'll go W for Westruun. And then from that point, I started taking inspiration from different languages that would affiliate that area. A lot of Norse language works near Vasselheim. Looking into root words and certain spelling techniques in other languages and jamming things together that sound interesting and roll off the tongue well.
