Castle Draeckenstyn is where Theobolds half brother lives and rules, though it was also called Castle Draeckynburg several times in comic.

If these names were dropped in Held's arc, I have forgotten them and hope we'll get a reminder.

Kragmoria is the Big Bad Antimagic Guys.
Draeckenstyn is where Theo's half-brother, who's Held's biological father, lives.

So I was motivated to do a "quick" search.
As it is, search engines "correct" me Draeckenstyin -> Drakensteyn because Drakensteyn Castle exists, in the Netherlands.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drakensteyn_Castle
So... as I was about to joke about having to check every location or city in the comic: Gloria, capital city of Justopea, an island nation.
Gloria is a municipality in Philippines, happy coincidence, I think.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria,_Oriental_Mindoro
I know Gloria is a rather common name, translates to Glory, and is used as first name.
Anyway, don't drink the well water if it's turning pitch black or something, I heard it's not a great idea.

@Brownie24128 obviously I knew.
I suppose Held doen't know about her true origins..

The names Draeckynburg and Drakenstyn seem to be confused with each other.
I don't know if it is interesting and it may be a bit obvious, but Draeckyn, Drake, Dragen etc. are more or less old German or Dutch spellings meaning "Dragon" ("Drache" in German, "draak" in Dutch). Styn, Steyn etc. are spellings for "stone" ("Stein" in German, "steen" in Dutch). Burg means Burg = castle in German.
So "Draeckenstyn" means "Dragonstone" and "Draeckynburg" means "Dragon Castle".

Whatcha thinking Theo? That if Kragmoria wins they will learn about you and Held and they will come for you to continue the magic purge, that if your half brother and family were wiped out Held is now the sole inheritor to the title and lands, that the king would likely have to recognize any claim she made to said title out of gratitude for saving his country?
Or is it just where to dig the new well? Cause I think that spot on the west side of the cabin would be pretty good.
