Do the inhabitants of the Hollow World have their own name for it? They certainly don't call the place "Hollow World", do they? I agree with Andrew Theisen. Those who live in the Hollow World were transferred there by the Immortals, to preserve their culture. In most cases, the Immortals have meddled with their minds. They could, then, use the same word they used on the surface to design the world. Other ones, like Azcans or some of the Alphatian, could remember their "home world" and thus create a new word. "Land of the Red Sun" is nice, IMHO. > 2. Same for the Broken Lands. Is that really what the orcs call it? According to GaZ10, the Broken Lands are made up of tribal regions. Each of them has its name. > 3.

Really? I actually really like the spell names from G:KoM. They sounds a lot more esotheric than your average D&D spell. I don't mind the name Emirikol, but I'd rather he did away with the title "the Chaotic" which has too much of a game mechanics feel to it these days. Sorta like Eric the Cleric...

IIRC, the current state of the Bandit Kingdoms in Greyhawk is very anarchic and overrun with humanoids and troops of Iuz. Possible locations are the Broken Lands or (depending on the timeframe of your adventure) Sind- in particular northern Sind (Peshmir/Kadesh).
