I always get kicked out of reading the dossier by the names Afresa and Ameran (complete with red, white, and blue color identity!). They are really unfortunate, as they set the impression that the world is all about transplanting real world continents into Magic whole in the fashion of a parody, and I know that isn't really the case.

Afresa never quite bugged me, but Ameran always has.

I'm not sure if I like the extra link click it takes me to get to the meat of the content. It feels like a let down to only get a paragraph or two from a front page link. Maybe post excerpts from the world building or post one of the stories set on on Sertaria?

To be fair, starting from a real name can get perfectly good results that carry their implications without punching you out of the narrative (I'm assuming that got us from Scylla + Charybdis to Syl + Chardis). It's just that the line between a name that shows wit and a name that shows its ugly innards is also easy to cross.

...

You're the first person who has noticed this, or at least the first person to mention it. Yes, that is, in fact, the genesis of the Dual-Walkers' names.

Well done.

do I get partial credit for seeing them, thinking "hey that sounds really familiar..." and then never bothering to follow up on it?

I think the content should be mirrored on the front page article.

I literally never made the Ameran connection during development until Skibo complained about it and I still have a hard time believing it was anything but totally unfortunate coincidence. I don't think he even noticed Afresa, and I didn't till... literally just now?
