I have just read blog entry about Cities of Golarion—Whitethrone Preview.
Since I'm Pole I decided to write about things based on my culture and regional (Slavic) folklore.
Maybe for western European and US people "jadwiga" sounds exotic but when polish-speaker reads it in this entry it sounds a bit silly. Why? Because Jadwiga is Polish feminine given name.
In Golarion it is term connected to Baba Yaga (we write her name Baba Jaga). "Jaga" is one of diminutive forms of name Jadwiga (I'd say one of more popular diminutive forms of this name).
I know that its nothing but I wanted to write it.
For those who likes learning origins of things: enjoy
For those who thinks I'm clinging details: maybe if it bothers you I'm sorry.
BTW. By the description Irrisen sounds like interesting place. Together with Cheliax it sounds like Golarion will be dark fantasy setting :)
BTW2. There are no white bears in Poland outside zoological gardens and it isn't impossible not to snow (or snow weary little) during winter especially in southern lowlands.

But hey, you can never have too many annoyed Polish customers ! Like certain US president was known to say "You forgot about Poland !" ;-)
Pozdrowienia !
