I would offer the following changes: Reizenstein/Charmstone Sorgenlos/Carefree Warnungstein/Warningstone Schönhausen/Beautyton Schlafmütze/Sleepyhead (that's an idiom) Grillenberg looks like Grillenburg to me, so maybe Fort Whim. Schwalgerfluss/River of Revelry Lustwald/Passion Wood (since it's the land of Happy Love) I like Werthershain. He was obviously riffing on the recently published <i>Sorrows of Young Werther</i> by Goethe. Morass des Tiefsinss/Swamp of Pensiveness On the whole, not a bad translation.
