So obviously a lot of names in SRO were based on actual (or mythological) things in the real world and real silk road. In this topic an overview of all these places I could find. It would be nice if everybody adds stuff, so eventually we have all our future holiday destinations with nostalgic feelings. :sohappy:

Cities:

Don Wang: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunhuang
Hotan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotan
Samarkand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samarkand
Constantinople: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantinople

Eastern part: (Chinese)
Dun Wang caves: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogao_Caves
Tarim Basin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarim_Basin
Taklamakan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taklamakan_Desert
Karakoram: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karakoram
Lord Yarkan's name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarkant_County
Huang He River: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_River
Black Jade River (near Hotan): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karakash_River
White Jade River (near Hotan): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Jade_River
Rok: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roc_%28mythology%29
Medusa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medusa

Western part: (Europe)
Ararat Mountain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountains_of_Ararat

Hun Monsters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huns
Cleopatra's Gate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra%27s_Gate

Not sure about these...
Hyungno Ghosts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyeong
Jupiter Temple: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_ ... us_Maximus

I'm sure there should be much more. For example about the monster names. I didn't really go into these yet.

It reminds me of this:


Oh, and it's really amazing how much the Donwhang cave entrance looks like the real deal! :)
