St. Martins: Saint Mar-tins
Tzogos: zo-gus (although I always add an R and pronounce it zar-gus)

I pronounce it similar to Dez but I actually googled every name just because..a while ago and I believe the majority are beaches in Greece or cities. there probably is a way to pronounce the names

Are you sure about that? I mean when you put the continents of Earth together, they fit because, obviously, they’ve split! However, look at Pania, if you were to push that port towards St.Martin, Pania’s peninsula would smash St.Martins coastline. I would imagine that would be an cataclysmic event sending tsunamis across the rest of avonmora!!!Poor little pirates. They would be tossed and turned and sunk. Oooh maybe we would actually see a sharkanado????!!!
