I don't know for you guys, but sometimes for me it's easy to come up with names for elements (nations, NPCs, deities) of a campaign setting, and sometimes it can be a real pain in the butt.
When purchasing a new setting, the names chosen by the authors participate heavily to the flavor of said setting, and are thus part of the first impressions I have about the new product. They may, or may not, draw me in.
Now, Varisia, Thassilon, Lamashtu, Karzoug, Desna... I really dig these names.
Thassilon. I can feel the ancient empire just by saying the name. Nice!
Hrm. Campaign worlds and kingdom names ending in 'ia' tend to sound like generic fantasy. Thassilon...isn't that a Doctor Who villain?
Could have been better, imo.

Nah, you're thinking of Rassilon.
