    Realm names in Rjurik

    I've gone over the map oh TRH and written down the provinces I could find
    with scandinavian names....

    Nordcapp: The northernmost point of the norwegian mainland is Nordkapp
    (meaning Cape North in english
    Mandal: A town on the south coast of Norway is called Mandal
    Trondelaag (which Sindre metioned): An area in Norway
    Soroya: This means the southern island in Norwegian, and is the name of a
    northern
    mainland provice in Rjurik
    Bjornoya: Means the Island of the bear, in BR it's an inland province.
    Folda fjord: In the northern part of Norway there is a fjord called Folda.
    Jamkaping: Could be mistaken for Jönköping in Sweden
    Vejle and Viborg: Both are Danish towns
    Halten: Could be mistaken for the Norwegian town Halden
    Odemark: A bit far fetched this one, but ødemark is the Norwegian word for
    wasteland.

    I hope this wasn't too boring for all you non-scandinavians out there.

    Jurva: a 'county' in Finland
    Oulu: Town in north-westen Finland
    Boden: A swedish town where a great deal of swedes makes their military
    service
    Pitea (Piteå in swedish): small town in northen sweden
    Torne: a rvier/town in the borderlands between Finland and sweden.

    Jokkajoen: If I don't misstake so this is a name of a river in swedish
    lappland, then endform "joen" which means 'the rivers ...." should have
    been joki
