Hyarmi name pronunciations are given with humanized equivalents for sounds in the hyarmi language that cannot easily be produced by humans.
For those interested in hearing a pronunciation, copy the IPA notation into this IPA reader and select one of the American voices, such as Joanna or Joey. My grateful thanks to the maker of that resource!

Yes, finally. Maps!
I am creating Geren’s travel maps in a simple diary style to keep them as readable as possible in print or on an e-reader screen. For additional maps, it’s full-color fun.
